setSeconds 1

[thatrenowned]

Is there a way I can use the setSeconds command and have it increase by 1 every second?

I want to start it on '0' so it shows how long the movie has been running. Using getSeconds is no good because it shows the second the minute is up to on your local machine.

Hopeully, if I can set it as 0 and have it increase by 1, I can then use getSeconds to show how many seconds have passed.

Does anyone know how to do this, or have an alternative method?...

Thanks

You need to use getTimer(). This will get the time (in milliseconds) since the movie started playing ... so to get the amount of seconds you could use:

seconds = Math.floor(getTimer()/1000)

That should give you a whole number.
