Hi,

This is my first time writing stopwatch in actionscript 3.0 and I not sure how to get start, all I know use Timer class but how to write a stopwatch when the user click start and it start to count when is finish it will stop by itself, the format is something like this HH:MM:SS. Can give me a brief code so I can get start with it. Because I want to add this feature to let the user know how long does animation take to finish.

Thank you very much for reading my post…
