flash actionscript: Hi,

i have this game timer which counts down from 20 seconds:

countdown.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.timer = int(20-(getTimer()-startTime)/1000);
if (Number(this.timer) == 0) {
gotoAndStop(10); }
timer = 0;

how do i go about adding time to this counter. For example if a button is
pressed add 5 seconds to the countdown.


cheers,
Gareth :D

startTime += 5000

Hi,

many thanks for your help. i had the same idea but this does not seem to do
the trick

i have on a hit test.

checkp.onEnterFrame = function() {
}
if (_root.ship_mc.hitTest(this)) {
_root.countdown.startTime += 5000

};

it does not seem to work.

if this helps here is how i defined my var.

var startTime:Number = getTimer();

cheers,
G

ah ha i worked it out.
