How to stop NSTimer

Hello,
I got a NSTimer and I want to stop it by pushing a button.

FallTimer = NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1 target:self selector:@selector(FallUpdate) userInfo:nil repeats:YES;

I am looking for something like:

FallTimer = False;

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Look up the NSTimer Class Reference, and you'll find the method you want. It's described both in the introductory paragraphs and under the heading "Stopping a Timer".

Hi, send an invalidate message to your timer-object.

"


- (void)invalidate

This is the only way to remove a timer from an NSRunLoop object. The NSRunLoop object removes and releases the timer, either just before the invalidate method returns or at some later point.
