Converting Time to ms

[ali_bongo_ webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi there

Is it possible to get Director MX to convert time i.e. 00:05:00 (hours, minutes, seconds) into milli seconds (300,000 ms).

Any help would be greatly appriciated - Thanks in advance.

tim="00:05:00"
the itemDelimiter=":"
if tim.items.count<>3 then
alert("Bad time " & tim)
ms=0
else

ms=(((integer(tim.item[1])*60+integer(tim.item[2]))*60)+integer(tim.item[3]))*10
00
end if

....and watch out for the awful line wrapping.

put HMStoFrames("00:05:00",1000,0,0)
