Using variables to create a timer
December 2, 2009 12:00 AM
Are these On Timer actions? How do you get it to run after 60 seconds? Please tell us more about where the actions are, what makes them run (On show, On click, On timer, ...).
If you only change the variable every 60 seconds, why are you updating the text box every 1/10 of a second?
If you added the string "minutes left" to your variable, it is no longer numeric and cannot be used for subtraction. You should be using two variables, 1 for the minutes left and one for the string you want to display in the text box. You would have one action to set the second variable to the first and then add " minutes left" to the second variable and use that one to update the text box.
