    os.timer() and application being paused

    When an application moves to the background, I read in the docs that Timer events and ENTER_FRAME events aren't called. But does os.timer() still advanced? Example

    Game plays for 1 minute, so os.timer() would return 60000. If the game them moves to the background for 1 minute, when it comes back will os.timer() return 120000? Or will it start back where it was?

      If that is the case then you can pick up the time in the Application Event.APPLICATION_SUSPEND and Event.APPLICATION_RESUME events (see the lifecycle example) and then use these values to "reset" your timer calculations
