Nice to see more gaps getting filled.
I'm already using your timer code.

Hi Lumooja, could you put together a guide to creating modules?

Also, if you're interested, I can help you create the documentation for MonkeyTools that can be included in the module docs folder? (I wrote the docs system)

Hi matt, yeah those are good ideas.
I'll write an article on monkeytools.net how to create modules.

I added the following function

CurrentDate()
CurrentTime()

to MonkeyTools (at the moment work only on HTML5 and FLASH)
~~I'm working on Android device... but at the moment I'm a little stuck!~~: fixed
(ps: I've spent quite an hour to find an error in the ActionScript... Return instead of return...Argg!)

I would make it return ISO date and time, then it's country independant,
like 2011-03-12 19:23:32;43.231

okee	(Posted 2011) [#8]

in v32 I wanted to use the show/hide mouse in flash but i get an error
for the 2 lines

app.dead=1;		
getConsole().textColor=0x00000000;

Once i comment them out it works ok
