Stopping a getTimer at a given value

Hello,

Why does this not stop at 250?

code:

---

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	_root.display = 0;

	if (_root.display < 250) {

	_root.display = (int(getTimer()/10));

	} else {

		_root.display = 250;

	}	

}

---

Thanks in advance!

getTimer will always return the time since the SWF started playing (in milliseconds) - there is no way to stop it...

If you need to check a set time, you will need to store it in a variable...

K.

actually i just need a variable that progressivly goes from 0 to 250 or whatever. I guess i could just ease an MC and get it's _x coordinates.

thanks
