Countdown timer

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I’m stuck with what I’m sure is a fairly simple problem here.
In my game I have a number of bombs that the user can drag onto the arena. What I would like to happen is when the bomb is released it has a three second countdown before exploding.
Like I said I’m sure it’s easy but I just can’t seem to get my head around it.

Cheers

Take a look at Jonathans great library, we use it our games.
