Local m:Int=Millisecs()

Method OnRender:Int()

End

Function Main()

New bbgamething()

End

In MingW GlFW the time seems to be the old method e.g. how many millisecs have elapsed since the game began

in HTML5 and Flash millisecs is a negative number , is this normal?

Are you sure... looking at the code for 67b, C++'s Millisec code is this:

int BBGame::Millisecs(){
	return 0;
}

[Edit]Ah because of the new target system its actually using this method:

int BBGlfwGame::Millisecs(){
	return glfwGetTime()*1000.0;
}

And glfwGetTime returns the number of seconds that has elapsed since glfwInit().

in HTML5 and Flash millisecs is a negative number , is this normal?

I guess its because Monkey doesnt have a long primitive, so yes it is normal.
