I have got a timer of another website, when i try and intergrate the code into my timed game it doesnt output correctly.  
This is what I have so far,

On the frame layer, first frame.

```auto
stop();
mbenneyTimer = function() {
    this.reset();
}
//
mT = mbenneyTimer.prototype
//
mT.reset = function() {
    this.oldTime = 0;
    this.pause = true;
    this.totalTime = 0;
}
mT.stop = function() { if (!this.pause) {
    this.pause = true;
    this.totalTime += getTimer() - this.oldTime;
}}
mT.start = function() { if (this.pause) {
    this.pause = false;
    this.oldTime = getTimer();
}}
//
mT.getMili = function() {
    var returnTime = this.totalTime;
    if (!this.pause) { returnTime += getTimer() - this.oldTime; }
    return returnTime;
}
mT.getSecs = function() {
    var returnTime = this.totalTime/1000;
    if (!this.pause) { returnTime += (getTimer() - this.oldTime)/1000; }
    return Math.round(returnTime);
}
mT.getMins = function() {
    var returnTime = this.totalTime/1000;
    if (!this.pause) { returnTime += (getTimer() - this.oldTime)/1000/60; }
    return Math.round(returnTime);
}
mT.getCount = function(secs) {
    var returnTime = this.totalTime;
    if (!this.pause) { returnTime += (getTimer() - this.oldTime)/1000; }
    var count = secs - returnTime
    return Math.round(count);
} 

```

Then on a button to start the timer timing.

```auto
on (release) {
    myTimer = new mbenneyTimer();
myTimer.start()
nextFrame();
}

```

Then on a button to stop the timer.

```auto
on (release) {
    nextFrame();
    myTimer.stop();
}

```

Then another button to show the time on a dynamic text box.

```auto
on (release) {
    time = "" + myTimer.getSecs(); + " Seconds."
}

```

The dynamic text box says when click a number say 10 which i belive i the seconds but it doesn’t add anything like the seconds and overwrite if i try and add

```auto
myTimer.getMins(); 

```

I just get another single number.

Please help thanks in advance.
