I'm starting (finally!!!) to get the hang of js in max, and want to port some of the max code to javascript. Question: how do I perform an operation equivalent to the timer max object? Basically the behavior I want to duplicate is this:

i believe that you could take advantage of 

var t0 = 0 ;
var time = new Date();
var msg_int = function(i){
    if(i == 1){
        t0 = time.getTime();
    }else{
        var t1 = time.getTime() - t0 ;
        post(t1);
    }
}


I hope it works as ive typed it from my assumption . Cant check it for the moment . let me know if that suits your needs .

Thanks, do...while! Yeah, I tried something along those lines, and it seems like that would be the way to go. However, the only output I'm getting is 0 every time I toggle from 1 to 0. Can't quite get my head around why this happens, as the code makes perfect sense....

var t0 = 0 ;

var msg_int = function(i){
    if(i == 1){
        t0 = new Date().getTime();
    }else{
        var t1 = new Date().getTime() - t0 ;
        post(t1+"\n);
    }
}
