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'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();

coding, create a *******' timer to the exact time. I found billionsof tutorials to countdown to a day, but NOBODY can provide a sampleto countdown to a date and time (i.e. Dec. 25 @ 8PM).I need this to countdown to a TV show's premier. And I'm adesigner not a coder... so there has to be a FLA file out therethat I could snag and just update the graphics and plug in a timeand date, and then it counts down once I make a SWF?

View 3 RepliesI have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?

I have a timer script[code]...
wrongBtn will decrease time by 10 seconds, correctBtn will increase time by adding 10 seconds.But when the timer second is around 2:05 and I press wrongBtn, the time is displayed incorrectly, like this: "2:0-5". Likewise, when the time is around 2:55 and I press the correctBtn, the time will be displayed as "2:65"...
How can I get this working, so that the output is displayed correctly?

I followed a tutorial to create a countdown in Flash CS4 and it works except that I would like to have it countdown to a specific time of day. I will be updating something at 10pm each week and I would like my countdown to stop or countdown to 10pm on that day but I don't know how to make it do that. Is this possible? I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Below is the actionscript I am using. [code]...

I want to stop and start again the timer (from the time at which it was stopped) by clicking a pause and play button.I have this code on the pause button (which works to stop the timer);

I can't get the play button to start the timer again from the time it is stopped at.
sorry if i ask questions that been posted b4, but i js cant find one actionscript which teaches how to make a time limit countdown. such as in my game the characters need to do something in 30seconds. And so i need a time limit of 30seconds.

recently i am working on my portfolio which I am doing in flash cs4, as3. It runs fine on local machine but when i upload it into the server, it runs very slow. in face there is a section where pictures are loaded when a thumbnail is clicked. There are 15 pictures and it doesnot opens at all.
following is the link to the site that I have done so far[URL].. please click on the "projects" to look at the problem I am mentioning. the section"3d modeling is the part where there are 15 pictures and doesnot load at all. same problem with "3d animation" "video editing" works fine. it may be because it has just one video to load.
Ok my Flash movie tests and runs fine on i publish preview it in Flash, but when i upload it to server it is not working like it is supposed to. is there a way to debug it or trace what is happening while it is running??

I created a game in AS3 using a tutorial written for AS2 but I can't get the timer working correctly. The game contains 3 frames, a start screen, game loop, and end screen. the timer starts on frame 2, and counts down (tested this with a trace). When the timer reaches 0 I want to go to frame 3 which is the end game screen but my code isn't working.
var fl_SecondsToCountDown:Number = 30;
var fl_CountDownTimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(1000, fl_SecondsToCountDown);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_CountDownTimerHandler);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.start();
theTimer.text = String(fl_SecondsToCountDown);
