How can I make a timer (Not a countdown)

[JadeNorth]

Hello, I would like to make a timer to display how long you've been on the website. I've looked around but could only find mostly countdowns instead of countups. Can someone please help me with this? (P.S. I am a total noob at actionscript)

Thanks!

An example would be the timer on nyan.cat (website)where it tells you how long you've nyaned, rather than a timer like this widgetbox. com/widget/countuptimer

time = 0;

function countUp(){
    time++;
}

setInterval(time, 1000);

or more accurate:

startTime = getTimer();

onEnterFrame = function(){
    time = (getTimer()-startTime)/1000;
}

Um, where do i put that code?

On your Frame (click on Frame, press F9, paste code), but if you want the countup to show in a textfield, then use the Text Tool (T), open Properties Panel [CTRL+F3], and change Static Text to Dynamic Text. Create a textfield, select it, open Properties Panel [CTRL+F3] again, and under Var(iable Name), type, count_txt. Then, use this code on your Frame:

startTime = getTimer();

onEnterFrame = function(){
    count_txt = Math.floor((getTimer()-startTime)/1000);
}

For the text box thing, it tells me there's an error in the 5th line and if i continue exporting it just says "_level0.count_text" in the text box

Don't know why you're getting an error, but you named your textbox, count_tExt, whereas I told you to name it, count_txt, without E, but it doesn't really matter, as long as you change it to count_text in the script as well

I did name it count_txt, and that's what it said in the box, just a typo when I put it on here. I wonder why it's not working?
