I wrote the following clear a timer so that it counts form 0 again. The timer is not reset, it only stop and it save the last count.

The trace result is: 34900 and I want it to be 0. How to do it ?

myTimer.reset();

myTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener);

trace(getTimer());

Here is the full code of my project: (The comment linse are for me, not for you)

stop();

var i:int; i=0;

var c:int; c=0;

var timer_check:uint = 0;

var removeCheck:Boolean = true;

var mark:Number = 0;

var timerOff:Boolean = false;

var list:Array = [] ;

var timed: uint = 16 ;

for(var p:uint=1; p<=44; p++)

********************* if you want to add more pictures increas 44 to the new number of pictures

{

    list.push(p);

}

shuffle(list);

var good:Array = [];  copy

var testing:Array = [];

copy(list,good);

copy(list,testing);

good = good.splice (0,18);  cut the first 18 elements

var pic:Array = list.splice(0,9);

testing = testing.slice(0,45)

shuffle(testing);

var myTimer:Timer;  second: re-arrangeing some picturs using nine "if" conditions:

myTimer = new Timer(1000,34);

myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener);

function timerListener (e:TimerEvent):void{

timed -- ;

time.text = "Time:" + timed.toString ();

time.x = 340 ; time.y = 7;

if ( timed == 0 && removeCheck )  16000 getTimer() > 18000

  for(var removeOldPic:uint = 0; removeOldPic < 9 ; removeOldPic++)

Correct answer dmennenoh

myTimer.reset();

myTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener);

trace(getTimer());

You are tracing a completely different timer. getTimer() is the ms since the movie started playing and has nothing to do with the myTimer Timer.
