NSTimer won't stop it only resets when invalidated & released
- by J Fries
When I press my stop button to stop the timer it just resets to the original time and begins counting down again. I have looked everywhere and all I have found is "invalidate" and it isn't working. I want the time to stop when I hit stop and the label to display the original time. I also turned off automatic counting so I could try releasing and it is giving me an error: 0x10e20a5: movl 16(%edx), %edx EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=2, address=0x10)
