Hello

I have my timerdelay set as 10,

via the TimerEvent.TIMER event I update a dynamic textfield with the value of currentCount.

My problem is it isnt accurate. If I move my mouse over the swf I notice it slowing down.

Does anyone have an idea on how I can display the currentCount more accurately.
