i have tried to download the flash files. When i tried to open the .fla file i got an error message that it was not in the appropriate format. I should be using actionscript 2 and i cannot understand why it could not open. The other file opened and run well showing the changing seconds.

thanks

The “this” keyword refers to logic which is happening inside a class; not an instance of class. As we have created the instance “stopWatch”, we need to call its method directly.

Hope that helps.

I’m not so cool in actionscript, and i’m interested, why there is
“ trace (‘Clock at: ‘ + stopWatch.getElapsed()) ”, and not
“ trace (‘Clock at: ‘ + this.getElapsed()) ”?
