quickest and simplest way, unless you need this different for other parts of
the application, would probably be to use dictionary manager, insert+d, then
hit add button, and type, say, 09, then tab once and in the replacement
field, type simply, 9. then hit ok. and do that for all numbers with leading
zeros that you want translated? then hit control+s to save, and you should
be right. but, you can of course, get frames to trigger scripts or
functions, so, if you were aware of how to utilize the scdripting language
as jackie previously indicated, you could get it to do that, but it would be
a bit more complicated to set up.
dictionary manager definitely the quickest and easiest way. caveat being
that of course those numbers will always speak like that, no matter where
they occur in that application. not just in the count down timer frame
you've gotten to speak etc.
