[help] Timer Question, Is there another way?

I am creating a timer using a dynamic text box, is there a way to tell my timer to plus 1 every second with out having to refer the frame rate?

i was using the following untill i realised it was affected by frame rate...

on the frame one i have

Code:

---

_root.mils = 0;
_root.secs = 0;

---

and in a empty MC i have the following controls

Code:

---

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
            _root.sec.text = _root.secs;
            _toot.mil.text = _root.mils
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        _root.mils+= 1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        if (_root.mils== 10) {
                _root.mils= 0;
                _root.secs += 1;
        }
}

Can i do the following without having to worry about the frame rate

I made this timmer diffrently.
on the first frame:

code:

---

zeero = int(getTimer()/1000);

---

on the second frame:

code:

---

Time = 60

if(Number(Time) >0)

{

	display = (Math.round(getTimer()/1000))- zeero;

	Time = 60 - display

}



if(Number(Time) == 0)

{

	_root.gotoAndPlay ("gameOver");

}

---

and on the third frame:

code:

---

gotoAndPlay("loopstart");

---

I think youll be able to modifie that to do what you need. Every thing is in a MC with a dynamic text box with the variable name display and one with the name time.
