I have a simple movie clip that runs a certain number of frames…i am playing it at 30fps…now I can display which frame it is on out of total frames using \_currentframe and \_totalframes…and I have it working along with a slider…Now i am trying to convert frames over to minutes and seconds so the display will show 0:39 / 1:15 instead of 48 / 600…keep in mind i need it to work with the slider too…I attached a sample fla file…any help would be greatly appreciated…
