Hi Michael,
If you mean the Countdown Timer behavior in the Text Library Palette, then
you could replace the on prepareFrame handler with this:
--on prepareFrame me
-- mDisplayTime me
--end prepareFrame
property pPaused
property pPauseMillis
on prepareFrame me
if not pPaused then
mDisplayTime me
end if
end prepareFrame
on Pause(me)
pPauseMillis = the milliseconds - pStartMillis
pPaused = TRUE
end Pause
on Continue(me)
pStartMillis = the milliseconds - pPauseMillis
pPaused = FALSE
end Continue
You can now send #Pause and #Continue events directly to the sprite that the
Countdown Timer is attached to.
Does this do what you want?
James
