calculation of frames in onEnterFrame loop

[threat45]

Hey all,

I'm trying to work this out if anyone can help. I have a function:

function formatSeconds(num):String {
     var min = (Math.floor(num / 60));
     var sec = (Math.floor(num % 60));
     var frame = (Math.floor(num * 30));
     if ((sec + "").length == 1)     {
         sec = "0" + sec;     }
     if ((min + "").length == 1)     {
         min = "0" + min;     }
     if (frame == "30")     {
     frame = "0";     }
         frame++;
     return min + " : " + sec + " : " + frame;
 }

the problem is it is called with this function:

function resetTime() {
     mc.onEnterFrame = function()     {
         currentTime.text = formatSeconds(mc._currentframe / 30);     }; 
}

when I pause the movieclip set at 30fps the sec,min stop but the frame var keeps running in the onEnterFrame loop. I'm trying to get the framecount to go up to 29 then reset to 0 then flip to 1 second, currently when you pause the framecount it just keeps running. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help appreciated

Still trying to work on a solution if anyone can help.

"delete mc.onEnterFrame" to stop the reiteration.

Thanks for the replies all, After working through this I came up with a solution, but need help on one part

function formatSeconds(num):String
{
   var min = (Math.floor(num / 60));
   var sec = (Math.floor(num % 60));
   var frame = (Math.floor(num * 24));
   if ((sec + "").length == 1)
   {
      sec = "0" + sec;
   }
   if ((min + "").length == 1)
   {
      min = "0" + min;
   }
   if ((frame >= 24))
   {
      frame = "0";
   }
   return min + " : " + sec + " : " + frame;
}

function resetTime()
{
   mc.onEnterFrame = function()
   {
      currentTime.text = formatSeconds(mc._currentframe / 24);
   };
}

with this line

if ((frame >= 24))
   {
      frame = "0";
   }

i would like to count every 24 frames in the movie (24,48,72,96 etc) regardless of the length of the movieclip and reset to 0 each time.

Any thoughts? getting closer just need to work the math out

Thanks,

replace this:

if ((frame >= 24))
   {
      frame = "0";
   }

with this:

frame%=24;

thanks zippy, put me on track and I worked out a solution.
