Freeze timer

[Joepiooo]

I have a simple timer in a game and when I give it the command "timer.stop();"
it stops. I want to pause it or something like that because when I stop it like above the timer is gone and you cant see your finish time.

Anyone can help me out?

Unfortenately there is not a "time"-propery on the Timer that can tell you how much time has passed or remains.
I would solve this by setting your timer up like this:

private var timer:Timer = new Timer(10);
private var totalTime:Number = 0;

timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeTime);

private function changeTime(e:Event)
{
     totalTime =+ 0.01;
} 

You can now always se how much time that has passed in the totalTime-variable. It does not matter if the timer has stopped or not.
