I need to make a Countdown timer using comboboxes (probably) that, when a user puts in their 17th birthday, can see how long it is until then. I highlight 17 because I want the user to specify the particular year as well as day and month. I would then want a timer that counts down to that particular date!
View 1 RepliesRight now I have a countdown going on, but with a fixed date. How would I go about doing this with a user input?...what I would like to do is the user enter a specific date and the countdown to begin.
View 1 RepliesI might be a complete newbie at this, but I can't seem to find a tutorial or anything on how to do what I'm trying to do.Ultimately I want to create a countdown for a widget where the user can put in a date and the app will countdown to that date. But the trick is--how do I insert the user variables into the actionscript for the countdown?The script for the countdown is like this:
Code:
currentDate = new Date();
thisYear = currentDate.getFullYear();

Tasked with creating a countdown timer which I've done before but never using the user's system clock. Does anyone know if its possoble to access the system time from within flash?
View 1 RepliesIm 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.
View 3 RepliesI am currently trying to create a kind of 'screensaver' effect in one of my Flash movies, and I have the following code which counts down from ten to zero:
Code:
displayTime = 10;
countDown = function () {
displayTime--;
if (displayTime == 0) {
trace("Time Out")
clearInterval(timer);
}};
timer = setInterval(countDown, 1000);
The problem I am having is finding the right code to use to RESET this countdown back to ten if the user moves the mouse, clicks a button, presses a keyboard button, etc.
I have a script below which counts down and using the progress info makes a movieclip widen from nothing to its full width using the x scale. This is being used for a countdown bar in my game so at the moment this bar movieclip is growing from nothing to its normal size. I want to reverse this so It starts at its normal size and grows smaller if you see what I mean. A little example would be awesome

Is it possible to create a countdown timer (dd:hh:mm:ss) to 12am central time on the front end only?
So users in all timezones would get a clock that is counting down using central time rather than their current computer time?
I'm trying to do this without using backend scripts, but I'm not sure if its possible.
I am looking for a component/tutorial/movie that is a FLASH countdown timer/clock that you can change the targeted time on the fly using xml. So, the clock might countdown for 4 days, 3 hours and 19 minutes to an event. but then halfway through i decide i want to change the event to a day later, so i need to us xml to dynamically change the clock to add 24 hours or whatever onto the clock without having to go back into the flash file.
Additionally, this flash file will be part of a flash screensaver that has xml driven photo gallery in the background. this photo gallery i can do, but i am looking for a flash countdown with xml access. I am willing to pay/donate for it if there are no free ones available.

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 want to add a moving background loops of clouds moving left to right ( or vice versa). I made it last night with regular tween but only at 1800 frames which made the counter stop at that. I need the AS2 script for making the motion loop background which wont affect the existing 30 minute counter. I have a stable image of the church on one layer and plan to just add a new lay with separate moving clouds.

View 3 RepliesI am learning actionscript. I browse through the internet and this is the code that I have come up with for a timer to countdown from 11 mins.(subject title a mistake)However, I have a slight problem. When I click on teh start button to come down, I expect it to show 11:00, 10:59, 10:58 and so on.. But once I click the start button, it goes to 10:58 or 10:57 or some time before 02:00.
var start_time = getTimer();
var countdowntime=660000;
var countdownTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000);

View 12 RepliesI need to make a countdown timer in Flash that will countdown in seconds to the next whole hour and then will reset and countdown to the following next hour The timer needs to be 100% accurate. Is it possible to create a countdown timer in actionscript which will be perfectly accurate - ie. will always be identical when compared with actual rea-life time, irrespective of the hardware, processing of applications done on a client machine?If this is not possible, is it possible to include in the code a detection of when the timer becomes inaccurate and then further code to get it back on track to correct the inaccuracy?

I'm making a side scrolling flash game called Kit-Run using actionscript 2.0. I want to give each level a two minute time limit - ideally to have an enemy mc load that comes and kills you when it reaches 00:00.
I've found a lot of tutorials that count down time limits for dates, but none for a simple minute counter. I've started with a dynamic text field called "timeDisplay". What do I now??
I made a ten minute timer that starts at 600 and counts down to zero. It displays the current count in a textfield called "textfield_time". Here's what it looks like:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 600);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, termin);

I have a time pickup that floats across the screen now and then. When your avatar makes contact with it, you get extra time - say 15 seconds. I already have working code that detects the collision of the avatar and the pickup, but I can't figure out how to add functionality to reset the timer to give an additional 15 seconds. I tried:
Code:
timer+=15;
which doesn't work. But you already knew that (hey, I'm new at this!). Maybe some way to get the currentCount value, increment it by 15 seconds, then update the timer value with it?
