hiya-

I need to create an idle timer. I know that the timer would start on load and would reset when a user were to release or rollover a btn. How do I code the actual timer. I found a few possible explanations on the web but they would need to be altered to accomplish what I want and I unfortunately don’t understand the concept well enough to complete the adjustments ;o(

HELP??!  
PUH-LEASE!!!
