copied!<p>Edit:<br> Digging further, and with help from a colleague, apparently you can get good timing by using Sound. Try creating a new <code>Sound</code> object, playing it and then extract the <code>position</code> property from the returned <code>SoundChannel</code>-object. There are also some good ideas here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1858660/accurate-bpm-event-listener-in-as3">Stack Overflow - Accurate BPM event listener in AS3</a></p> <p><strike>I haven't tried this, but you could try using the <code>Date</code> class and extracting the <code>milliseconds</code> property from it, and use that. I'm unsure of how accurate that is, in comparison to getTimer, but it might be worth experimenting with. See the <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/Date.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AS3: Date documentation</a> for more information. Note however that the Date doc explicitly says this:</strike> <em>To compute relative time or time elapsed, see the getTimer() method in the flash.utils package.</em></p> <p>Other than that I think you're stuck with using getTimer, and the data it returns depends on your current OS/browser. You probably checked these links out already, otherwise they'll help explain the problem:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kaourantin.net/2006/05/frame-rates-in-flash-player.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Tinic Uro - Frame Rates in the Flash Player</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1014009/as3-how-accurate-are-the-gettimer-method-and-the-timer-class">Stack Overflow - AS3: How accurate are the getTimer() method and the Timer class?</a></p>
