I used a tutorial on this site to make a flash countdown. It is very close, but all the numbers are changing the same and I don't know actionscript enough to know what is going on. Mike woops, here is the flash file: apple.education.uwec.edu/webusers/dodgema/myCountdown.fla
View 6 RepliesI found a video online on how to make a countdown timer and I can't seem to get it to work.The video looks like it's using ActionScript2 so I did the same.here's the script.
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date ();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();[code].........
I have a game which was built in AS2, I am trying to make a countdown timer so the game starts without the start button.
This is what currently prompts the game to start after "plat_btn" is pressed
play_btn.onRelease = function ()
{
_root.menu.customItems[0].visible = _root.menu.customItems[1].visible = _root.menu.customItems[2].visible = true;
[Code]......
I'm new with flash and I'm having some trouble with my script. The idea is to start the game by pressing the start button, and the countdown starts. The start button will then disappear. In 60 seconds, the idea is to try to drag all the garbage objects into the respective recycling bins. Only 1 try per object.The object will return to it's original position if it's been placed wrongly, mouseevent for that object is then disabled.
After 60 seconds, the game will end and all mouseevents are disabled. The start button reappears and I can restart the game again.

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.
View 3 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....
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
[code]....
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 was wondering if there is a way to do a countdown in flash?I think something like hours til thing get.myHours(or something)and so on.but I don't know all the correct stuff to use and everything.
View 9 RepliesMy 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.
I found a great flash countdown script through a tutorial, here is the action script-
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var todayate = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
var currentTime = today.getTime();
var targetDateate = new Date(currentYear,11,25);
[Code] .....
This works fine. However, I am attempting to change the targetDate by retrieving the last day of the month and counting down to that. Right now it counts to christmas. I know how to get the last day of the month through PHP, so I was thinking I could send the variables to the flash document and somehow replace 11,25 with $n (which is the month variable in my php) ,$lastday .
Here is the PHP Code:
$m = date('m');
$n = date('n');$month = date('F');
$y = date('Y');
$find = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 0, $y);
$lastday = strftime("%d", $find);
print "&n=$n&lastday=$lastday";
I have tried loading the php file and then placing a variable in.
I was wondering if you guys can help me creating a daily countdown ticker? Like 100 days, 99 days, etc. without me having to go in and change the dates everyday.
View 4 RepliesI am however hosting an event at the end of this month to which I need countdown timer that counts down 30 minutes from when I begin playing the movie.
00:00:30:00 -> 00:00:29:55 and so on until the movie reaches 00:00:00:00.
If possible.. I'd like that movie to open an additional flash movie once that timer has reached 0, if that can be done. - But for now I'd just be happy with a simple countdown timer that counts down from 30 minutes.
Now I HAVE tried to utilize the various tutorials that are about, the problem is they all seem to be WAY too complex for what I'm looking to do here...As I said all I'm looking for is a flash document that will countdown from 30 minutes once i've opened the movie..
I would like to get this date countdown working. Right now it is inaccurate in its count.t's off by almost 30 days.
Code:
//Create a date object for 3/25/2011
//HOW TO ADJUST FOR TIMEZONE?

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 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

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 RepliesI 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 am looking for a countdown timer what will countdown mins + seconds. All Ican find is a countdown to an event christmas day etc, but this wont work for what I need. I need a timer countdown that wont start again everytime a user enters the game I need a timer so all users enter the game at exactly the same time to the second, I've tried to do it using as3 php mysql but there is to much time difference between users how will I do this.
