Much Simpler!! Thank you Bill Reiss....

Here's the much simplified code:

<Canvas.Resources>

</Canvas.Resources>

</Canvas>

The Javascript then becomes...

MyDemo.Scene.prototype =

{

handleLoad: function(plugIn, userContext, rootElement)

{

// set the timer duration

timer = plugIn.content.findName("myTimer");

timer.Duration="00:00:05.00";

timer.begin();

}

function OnTimerCompleted(sender, args)

{

alert ("Timer completed!");

myStoryboard = sender.findName("myTimer");

myStoryboard.begin();

}

how can I take the seconds value and update a textblock with the current second on each passing second?

To do so, create a Storyboard and mark that you will handle the Completed event. <Storyboard Completed="OnTimerCompleted">

FYI...you can put the Duration on the Storyboard and not even have a dummy DoubleAnimation child node.
