I have a variable that is in decimal seconds.

Example: 92.5

How do I convert it to 1:32:50?

Sorry, 92.5 is 1:32.50 (that is 1 minute 32 seconds and 50 milliseconds)

and the value will never exceed 1 hour.

Then you can use this code:

var v = 92.5;
var minutes = Math.floor(v/60);
v-=(minutes*60);
var seconds = Math.floor(v);
var remainder = (v-seconds)*100;
var result = minutes + ":" + seconds + ":" + remainder;

Hi try67,

How difficult is it to find a solution to the next little bug:

if "seconds" end up being between 1 and 9, Adobe omitting the zero,

and the result looks like: 1:2.55 instead of 1:02.55

Did I say I really appreciate your help?

Use this:

var v = 92.5; 
var minutes = Math.floor(v/60); 
v-=(minutes*60); 
var seconds = Math.floor(v);
var secondsStr = (seconds<10) : "0"+seconds ? ""+seconds;
var remainder = Math.round((v-seconds)*100);
var result = minutes + ":" + secondsStr + ":" + remainder;

For some reason, it keeps giving me the syntax error.

I checked all of the punctuation and it doesn't make any sense.

So 0.5 is 50 seconds? Not 30?

Or is that in hundreds of a second?

Also, can the value exceed one hour? If so, do you want to display that separately, or just as minutes?
