Hi Bob,
Thanks for the comment, that is the route that started working on after
posting the question and the only issue I am having is dispatching the
custom event when the timer has been reached, I did a soft search for
samples of extending the Timer Class with custom TimerEvents but wasnt able
to find any.... would you happen to know where I could find more info?
Thanks!!
