Nows its game timers..

[DigitalDino]

For controlling time in games, what do most people do?

Do you:

a) use GetTimer OR
b) use looping movie clip

It seems that in a game I'm using I've ended up using both but from what I can gather just using a movie clip that loops does the job pretty well as its a pain mucking about with GetTimer calculations.

What do you all do?

I tend to use a looping movie clip if the time never changes, this seems to reduce the number of cpu processes, allowing for a faster game.

use A Movie Clip that way your game runs faster!! getimer is more processer intensive!!
