Question

This is my 2-part question. My understanding is small so “beer” with me.

This example counts from 1-100. I want the decimal keep counting to ten over-and over. (a.)How do I loop the decimal? 1-10 over-and-over. (b.)How to I get the whole and decimal value on the same dynamic
text field?

THING
“It’s a counter with whole and decimal values”
-text filed receive string of whole number and decimal place
-decimal fast, whole number slow

CODE

/*I made two text fields, change the names and values, but the values didn't
respond properly. 1000 = 1 sec and 100 = 1/10th or a second. The whole thing changed.*/
//working code

var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 100);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);
timer.start();
function countdown(event:TimerEvent) {
    myText.text = String(0 + timer.currentCount);
}

IDEAS
(a.)
//RESET START
function countdown($evt:TimerEvent):void {
timer.reset();
timer.start();

VERBOSE EXAMPLE
if Number’s less than 11, do it again

(b.)
//STRING
var time:String =whole + “:” + decimal;

time_txt.text = countdown;

UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
-changing values (1000, 100) didn’t work “affects the other number”
-I don’t know how I’m going to add velocity to something in the timer class “an other post”

THE DECIMALS STAY IN THEIR PLACE

//CA, NC, LONDON
var timer:Timer = new Timer(10);  
var count:int = 0; //start at -1 if you want the first decimal to be 0  
var fcount:int = 0; 

timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, incrementCounter);  
timer.start();  


function incrementCounter(event:TimerEvent) { 
  count++; 

  var whole_value:int = int(count / 100); //change value
  var tenths:int = int(count / 10) % 10;  
  var hundredths:int = int(count) % 10;  

  mytext.text = whole_value + " : " + tenths + hundredths; 
}

CRITERIA “I forgot to include 2/10/10”
WHOLES
X 10 multiples

DECIMALS
tenths dec = 10% of ones
hundreds dec = 10% of tenths dec

“thanks for the help everyone”

Answer 1

var timer:Timer = new Timer(100);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);
timer.start();
var time = 2000;
function countdown(event:TimerEvent) {
 time -= 1;
 var seconds = int(time/10);
 var tenths = int(time - seconds*10);
 time_txt.text = seconds + " : " + tenths;
    if (time == 0) {
        timer.stop();
    }
}
