Hiding a layer with an existing timer

[JW]

Similar to how the songticker in the modern skin will show the song title, then balance/repeat status/whatever, then the song title again, I'd like to hide a layer when the ticker is displayed. Something like...

PHP Code:

setText(String txt)
{
(Hide layer here)
  StatusTimer.stop();
  StatusTicker.setText(txt);
  StatusTimer.start();
(Show layer after timer runs out)
} 


I can hide the layer fine, but can't get it to display again after the timer runs out.

not quite sure why you are having the timer run the whole time, but is this what you are after?:

PHP Code:


Global Timer t;

onscriptloaded ()
{
    //
}


setText(String txt) 
{ 
    //hide layer
    StatusTicker.setText(txt); 
    StatusTimer.start();
}

StatusTimer.OnTimer()
{
    //show layer
    StatusTimer.Stop();
}

It doesn't run the entire time; I had an onTimer statement there, I just didn't post it. Thanks!
