How to: Digital Chronograph?

I've been trying to make a digital timer for the sake of high scores and such, whilst keeping the style of a digital clock.

The only way I've come up with doing it is having a separate text object complete with it's own private variable for each group of units (seconds, tens of seconds, minutes, tens of minutes).

I can't help but feel there's some command I'm missing out on which would make everything much simpler.

Here's the .cap of what I've done: http://www.box.net/shared/x97z6qqs5e

I don't know how much simpler than four events you want, but that looks like a pretty good solution to me.

well, you could use just two events and less text objects
