var timeLeft:int = 300 - minuteTimer.currentCount;
this method turns seconds into minutes + fractional minutes or hours
plus fractional hours, but doing hours minutes seconds will be the
same idea.
private function formatTime(seconds:int):String
{ var timeLabel:String = seconds.toString() + " sec";
if (seconds > 3600)
{ timeLabel += " (" + Math.round(seconds*100/3600)/100 + " hrs)";
}
else if (seconds > 60)
{ timeLabel += " (" + Math.round(seconds*10/60)/10 + " min)";
}
return timeLabel;
}
