hi gustavo,
your first problem is that you have a gotoAndPlay loop. that means that
every time you go back to frame 1 you are re-creating your now variable, so
it is never going to have a chance to get bigger. secondly, the timer does
need to be updated & checked inside your onEnterFrame (i used a
setInterval), so that it can be compared with your later variable. try this:
stop();
var startTime:Number = getTimer()/1000;
var later:Number = 20;
var timeCheck:Number = setInterval(checkTime, 100);
function checkTime(){
var currentTime:Number = getTimer()/1000;
var elapsedTime:Number = currentTime - startTime;
if(elapsedTime >= later){
trace("llegamos");
clearInterval(timeCheck);
}
}

Hi, I'm trying to set a timer to trigger a event after 20 seconds or
less, but so far i have this code, but with no results
someone help me? .
I don't know how could I got into but some help might be needed
this is the code: is inside the first frame of a movie clip and the 4
frame has: gotoAndPlay(1);
var now = getTimer();
var seconds:Number = now/1000;
var later:Number = seconds+20;
this.onEnterFrame= function (){
if(seconds == later){
trace("llegamos");
}
}
trace(seconds);
Regards
