Forums → Programming Forum → Making a reverse timer

Soemthing with a de in the beggining I think

i dont know how to decrement

what are you using? i know that in Microsoft stuff (like VB etc) you add a timer, set the interval to 1000, and put in something along the lines of:

new sub X

dim x as integer

If timer1.tick then x + 1

mind you, I've not used it in donkeys, so there are probably a number of faults with that :P

I would help if it was with flash but i dont know about timers in flash- im something of a flash n00b :P sos

Why would you resurrect all these old threads?

yea loads of old ones came to the front, but then some of those turn into good dissucsions

Sigh pengper or this broken forum anyway might as well kill this thread with a solution.

var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onReverse);
timer.start();

function onReverse(event:TimerEvent) {
countText.text = String(3 - timer.currentCount); }

You will need a dynamic textbox oh as3 how much I missed you.

ops

function onReverse(event:TimerEvent) {
countText.text = String(3 - timer.onReverse); }
