ActionScript 2.0 :: M:s Countdown Timer - Put Together - Minutes Remain Stuck
Jan 13, 2009
Before I get started, I would like to point out that I'm just getting started in flash, so this may very well fit better under the newbies forum. The goal: I'm trying to put together a countdown timer, which can count down from preset amount of time to zero, then trigger an announcement event, as well as an event at 30 seconds, 1, 2, and 3 minutes left. Later on I hope to add in a setup for this to turn into a Debate timer with start/stop/next speech button, but for now, I just need to figure out the timer bit.

I'm on the last stage of developing my game, and I need to display a countdown timer, lasting 3 minutes. I want to display the time counting down in the format "3:00" and then when the timer hits the full 3 minutes an event is fired and it stops, and I display a few other things along with it in the same function. The difficulty I have is actually doing the bit where I display the timer and update it accordingly. If there is any genius out there who can do this (In AS3) then you are my new best friend. I only have a few hours till my submission deadline, and this thing is KILLING ME!!! hypothetically.

I have a countdown timer that will be used for events that happen locally central time, mountain time, etc. However, if someone on eastern or pacific time (or any variation of the 4 timezones) looks at the countdown timer, I want to make sure that it shows the time relative to their timezone.I thought i could read the user's timezone offset (Date.getTimezoneOffset) and subtract from it the hardcoded timezone offset of the event (passed as a variable from XML depending on the event's "primary" timezone).
Am I getting the math here wrong? The "net" timezone offset from the user - the event timezone offsets SHOULD add into the countdown time.However, Date.getTimezoneOffset, regardless of my Mac or PC timezone setting/time, keeps showing an Eastern timezone offset of 5 hours. What's going on?The time is correct when I hardcode an event timezone offset to anything other than Eastern time. I think the problem is that it's not getting a user timezone offset OTHER than -5 hours for Eastern Time.Code for the timer is here (assume that the target event timezone has been passed in):
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();

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 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 was wondering if anyone knew of a Countdown Clock Script for 20 minutes. I'm working on a game for an elementary class, and each segment of the game is 20 minutes long. Is there a way to make a countdown like this? And how would I apply the script to an instance (text field)

I need to do a countdown time coder showing minutes, seconds and frames (25fps). I've searched a lot but w/out a fish The only similar thing I found is the Kirupa's tut, but I think it's too much graphical (I'd like it only w/ fonts) and actually I'm not so AS skilled Does anybody know where can I start or a good tut?

This service calls a php file which in turn extracts data from a table and return as xml string to Flex. Flex then use DataGrid's dataprovider attribute to show the data in the dataGrid.Can i have a functionality of a timer which will call the HTTPService again and again after each 5 minutes?

Any tutorials or source files for the timer. Just a simple timer that counts down by minutes and seconds for 10 minutes. The closest I got are a bunch of codes that I'm not really good at translating. Just a simple timer that will trigger the end quiz page when time is up.

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.

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();
