How do you use timer.resume when using storyboard.overlay()?

In my main scene, I have a pause screen being called via storyboard.showOverlay(“pauseScreen”, {effect = “fade”  , isModal = true} )

When this pause screen is called, I use timer.pause(myTimer). It pauses just fine, but once the pause screen overlay is closed, the timer stays paused. How do I use timer.resume in this case?

In other words, how do you unpause the timer if using storyboard.showOverlay?

fyi here’s my timer function:

gameTimer = timer.performWithDelay(1000, updateTime, 0)

Hi. There is an “overlayEnded” function for when the overlay is closed, you can use your update function there, to resume the game.

function scene:overlayEnded( event ) print( "Overlay removed: " .. event.sceneName ) end scene:addEventListener( "overlayEnded" )

Wow… Thanks!!! 

Those few lines of code was really all it takes. This one has been a head scratcher all day long.

Thx again
