On request by DDD, here's a different version of my countdown script.The difference is that this uses the webservers time, not the clients. This prevents clients from making the script malfunction.
(The old option to use client time is still avalible in the script.)
Ive followed the countdown tutorial found here but I have to make the clock follow the server clock instead of the user�s computer clock. How to do it?
View 2 RepliesI have successfully managed to follow and implement the flash date countdown timer tutorial given here: [URL]
However I need to get the time from my server rather than the client so that everyone see's the same time and nobody can view the rest of the movie before the deadline has been reached.
Instructions are given to get the tiome from the server using PHP, however our website runs on asp.net so i cannot use this PHP script.
I know I can call the date from my server on an aspx page with:
<% dteDate = Now %>
<%=dteDate %>
Which displays as:
19/03/2007 12:40:29
Is it possible to pull that into the countdown? If so where do I need to start?
I've used the .fla provided within this tutorial - this is also found here - to get a countdown that gets its time from the server, as opposed to the time of the clientHowever, making no alterations (other than the year to make it current), it doesn't work, as it alters when you change your computers local timeI have verified this with a friend in the USA, and within another test file where the countdown was set to 8pm server time, it was both showing 8pm for each of us (when i'm GMT and he is EST - 5 hours difference)I have uploaded the files within the same directory on our server, and have also changed the server.load url from both the default 'gettime.php' to a more specific url ofjust in case that made a difference, but alas notHere is the php file used:
PHP Code:
<?php
echo "time=" . time();

I have a countdown script that pulls the users time, but I need the server time so visitors can't cheat the clock.[code]How do I get the server date and pass it to the date var startTime?

After more hours searching forums and following countless tutorials I am still no further.
Quick recap: I'm trying to create a countdown that runs to server time.
Here's my updated code. Something wrong because I get Na:Na:Na:Na in my text field. [code]...
I am making a countdown ticker that would get the current server date & time and then calculate the remaining time from a target date.
I am using a PHP file to output the current server date & time. Then I use the Flash's loadvars function to get the result and format it as a Date field. However, when I trace for remaining days using targetDate-serverDate, I get NaN as the result.
Below is the code for my flash script as well as the php script.
Flash Code:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
myVars = new LoadVars();
// call the load method to load my php page

View 1 RepliesI use different versions of FMS (3.0 3.5 4.0 to 4.5) to muti-point publishing?Use existing old ones for most streams, and use 4.5 for iOS apps.
The answer is Im guessing probably yes, as I was able to multi-point publish to different big company's new FMS (4?) from one of our FMS 3.0 machine. But just to make sure before I make investment? Also Air 3 sdk based iOS app now can connect to FMS 4.5 and play h264 live video stream on ios devices over the appstore approved http-live-streaming protocol right? Just to be clear

View 1 RepliesI have a countdown to a specific date. Mine is 31st of december 2009. But I want a number related to the countdown. So it starts with lets say 8000.Now I have the number related to the amount of days. 62 is 8000, 61 is 7500, 60 is 7000... etc. When you enter the page it checks the countdown date and relates a starting number, every 3 sec. the number goes decreases. I want to add an action to every countdown. I know there must be a better way of coding this...
The best would be that the number decreases realtime, so everytime you go to the page number changes... Does anybody know a good way of doing this or provide a related tutorial link ? I really tried to find an example, but every countdown tutorial is related to time only....

onEnterFrame = function() {

View 20 RepliesHow can I set my countdown correctly? I'm counting from 33,000.00 to zero. It works in a fashion, but the minus operator appears in the textfield.
//Countdown from 33,000.00 to zero

var count:int = -3300000; [code]..........
EXAMPLE: I need something I can update with XML, to be an up-counter or down-counter depending on the variables.
//Count up from 33,000.00
var countValue:int = 3300000;
count = countValue;[code].................
how to create a countdown timer using AS2. It works great but now I need to add more actionscript. Our company is releasing a brand launch in Chicago (CST) so I want the countdown timer to be the same for everyone's computer, even if they are in NY for example. I did a trace for the offset and it returned -6hr (360min). How do I add the offset. I looked everywhere but I could not find it. I want to grab the time from the user's computer and then add the getTimezoneOffset and subtract -6hr or 360min right?
Also, I just thought of this - when the clock hits 0 or a negative value... I want to tell my flash piece to go to the next frame so they don't see the clock counting backwards. :)
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();
trace(today.getTimezoneOffset());
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
