ActionScript 2.0 :: Countdown With GetTimezoneOffset For CST
Jan 21, 2008
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();
[Code].....

Im trying to design a countdown timer, with the ability to set the countdown time through buttons.I would like to have the dynamic text field to display the countdown numbers in HH:MM:SS format.I would also love to have a 30 minute button, and a 15 minute button which generates the time in the text field.Then a start and stop button to begin or end the countdown sequence.

I 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....
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();

How 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 timer:Timer = new Timer(10);
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].................

I'm having a trouble with a game countdown, it starts counting down when the game starts, but when time's up, countdown shows -1:010'', and it should show 0:00'' It's a game about plastic and metal recycle. Yellow balls are correct, purple balls are wrong.

I need to create some countdown ads using Flash CS3 for an event which will be happening at the same time worldwide. So, when putting the endtime in, I need each corresponding time zone in the USA to adhere to the time difference. Is this possible to do, all within the same ad, rather than having to create an ad for each time zone?
The code I'm using runs thus:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();

I'm trying to make a countdown timer, but I haven't really learnt all about actionscript. (not yet anyway), but I need a timer that can count down the hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds from a given time to an other.
I need the start timer to say:
01:31:53:70 (hour:minutes:seconds:milliseconds) and then it should count down so the timer stops at:
01:30:00:00

I have been successful to the point where I actually see the txt_hoursleft, txt_minutesleft, txt_secondsleft on a dynamic text field:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariables("servertime.php", this);
}
[Code].....
How do i make it countdown? An example with txt_secondsleft would help me understand. Lets say I got from the PHP file 34 secs. I want it to show on the .swf 34 changing to 33 changing to 32... and so on.

1. insert date values and then run a contdown ticker
2. next time user opens swf the value of the ticker should have been adjusted to the date values user inserted first time.
3. New input values should be remembered and old values ignored.
4. no external files wished, flush or shared obj.

My timer counts down from 60 to zero. I want my movie to go to the next frame at zero count. How would I make a condition to go from frame 1-2? I need to find the right operator and values, but I get lost in the strings.
What I am trying
If (something is <> == true false);
gotoAndPlay(2);
stop();
//
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100, 300);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);
[Code] ....
I'm making several experiments like this to understand conditionals. I need to build objects that function similar to preloaders.
