create counter in text box...

[BG Design]

'm trying to create a "counter" element that uses a formatted dynamic text box to count up in .1 increments, starting from a specified value.

Here's the code so far:

var counter:Number;
counter = 3.0

counterText.text=(String(counter));

var timer:Timer = new Timer(300);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
timer.start();

function onTimer(event:TimerEvent):void
{
???
}


What I can't figure out is what should go in the function area, to add .1 seconds each time the timer cycles.

"counterText" is, of course, the instance name of the dynamic text field.

do

function onTimer(event:TimerEvent):void
{
counter += .1;
counterText.text = String (counter);
}

Technically, you probably should not cast a Number as a String.
Instead, convert the Number to a String:
counter.toString();
