Hi, I am trying to make a game where you have to keep a wind turbine spinning by dragging a wind object left and right. It is working but I am wanting to pause the timer when the turbine is spinning, then re-start the timer when it is not. I tried to call the timer function when the rotation had stopped but because it is on an onEnterFrame it decreases really fast.
Hope that made sense, heres the code:

displayTime = [COLOR=#000000]30[/COLOR];

jy = wind_generator.[COLOR=#993300]_y[/COLOR];

stopFactor = .[COLOR=#000000]9[/COLOR];
