Hello,
I have a very functional timer here that I am using but I would like
to get some advice on how to make it better.
Code:
private function getDaysUntil():void {
// creates a new five-minute Timer
var minuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 300);
// designates listeners for the interval and completion events
minuteTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTick);
minuteTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimerComplete);
// starts the timer ticking
minuteTimer.start();
}
public function onTick(evt:TimerEvent):void {
var minuteTimer:Timer = evt.target as Timer;
lblTimeUntil.text = minuteTimer.currentCount.toString();
}
public function onTimerComplete(evt:TimerEvent):void
{
var minuteTimer:Timer = evt.target as Timer;
minuteTimer.reset();
minuteTimer.start();
}
I would like to be able to split the time into minutes and seconds.
Also I would like to get it to count down instead of up.
