Math, Counter AS3

Question

This is a counter. I'm making a spread sheet and getting nowhere. How do I measure these variables?

V A R I A B L E S

• timer = speed
  
• count = starting number and direction “+-“
  
• fcount = time ramp “fast or slow”
  
  

MY THOUGHTS
- make an equation or spread sheet
- use a frame counter, but it's not frame based

CODE
Define an instance of "mytext" in dynamic text.
Paste the actionscript-3 in the editor, and run it.

//Counter as3
var timer:Timer = new Timer(10);  
var count:int = 0; //start at -1 if you want the first decimal to be 0  
var fcount:int = 0; 

timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, incrementCounter);  
timer.start();  

function incrementCounter(event:TimerEvent) {  
  count++;  
  fcount=int(count*count/1000);//starts out slow... then speeds up 
  mytext.text = formatCount(fcount);
}

function formatCount(i:int):String { 
     var fraction:int = i % 100; 
     var whole:int = i / 100;  

    return ("0000000" + whole).substr(-7, 7) + "." + (fraction < 10 ? "0" + fraction : fraction); 
} 

Answer 1

I think I get what you're asking. Just use Excel or ask somebody that knows how.
