elapsed time in flash

is there a way to figure out how much exact time has elapsed in a flash movie?

because im trying to correspond music with my movie, and i wanted to have a part of the movie come in exactly at a part of the song (ie: 1:37)

look up getTimer(); it will report how long a movie has been playing in milliseconds.

yeah
have somthing on the first frame like

time = getTimer();

then on the last frame have like

elapsed = time;
_root.dyntextbox.text = time;

should work fine

you can got the position of the sound then use if condition to play the movie you want

need links contact me if u want to trade links

if u don't want the timer just when ur testing the movie hit Enter instead so it tests it with the timeline, try and see waht frame the song segment u want comes up and put the movie there

but don't listen to me, i'm a newb
