View 8 RepliesI'm trying to create a counter that will countdown to a date and time.I seemed to be getting lost with my coding.I've got some simple code that counts down.But, I'm having trouble trying to figure out how I can have a counter count down to a specific date.(ALSO... if the date has passed... a different message should be displayed.)Ideally, I'd like to do this in Flash 5 code to guarantee that the end user will probably have the Flash plugin.
View 1 Repliesok, i am modifying the "date countdown timer" tut by Sen. to cound up from a specific date. However it hates me.
Would you not just subtract the eventMillisecs from the currentMillsecs?
and that should give you the amount of milliseconds that has past since the event date. My brain hurts, it seems like it should be so simple.
how to make a count down set to a static date? Like Aug. 1st. at 12:00 p.m. ?
I found a tut. on this site about a count down, but it only allows for Christmas 03.
I have to make a counter which has the following:Initial value: 0Target value: 5000Date which the target should be achieved: 31 Feb 05 Date which the counter starts: 1 Dec 04So what i'm trying to do is a counter that will start from 0 on the 1stDec and will end with 5000 on the 31stFeb.However I need to be able to change both the initial and target value and the initial and target date.
View 1 RepliesI need the counter to count up to a set date and end on a set number. The date would be 12/31/07 and the number would be 1,000,000. Just like the current counter I would like it to reference to the users cmoputer clock.

View 1 RepliesIm creating a Game and Watch style game. Now with these games the enemies/obstacles spawn slowly at first then increase their amount over time.
I have created a function to spawn the enemy movie clips until a number of clips have spawned, they then move along their Class keyframes until they are either killed or game over.
how I can increase the spawn count slowly over time? I�d also like to randomize the spawn of certain enemies, how can i do that? Do i make for if conditions?

I've created a timer to count elapsed time on a flash player of mine, I can't figure out how to control it though. For example I need the pause/ play buttons to (you guessed it) pause and continue the count.The dynamic text field that keeps count is simply called "count" and the pause button is btn_pause and play button is btn_play
Code below.
start_time = getTimer();
countdown = 7200000;[code].....
Is there an easy way to automatically put the date and time of publication in the swf?

It works fine, but the time is stationary how can I make it count?
I have looked around a lot for the answer to this, here and out on the web, I just can't believe it can't be done.I have certificates that the user fills in their name once they successfully pass the on-line course, this works and prints fine. The decided they wanted the current date and time to show up on the certificate for their records. The date and time displays correctly, but when you go to print the certificate you get the default numerals, not the date and time, once the print dialogue box goes away after printing, you can see it change back to correct day and time.

I can get the current date in actionscript using the Date() function, my question is, does it give the same timezone for everyone? When I use it, it gives me the current hour and everything for the Eastern Time Zone (Newyork), but I live in Georgia, so I am eastern timezone, will someone who lives somewhere else, like california, run the code (below) and tell me if the time flash displays is the current time they have on their computer, or if the hours are off... with that said, if it is the same, and flash doesn't give everyone on earth the same time, is there any code I can use to retrieve the current time in 1 time zone no matter where on earth I am when I use the code?

I'm sorry to ask such a stupid question but the documentation is not clear to me. And I really don't want to screw it up. I am creating a flash piece that needs to change its content based on the date eastern time. so that the content on monday 00:00:00 will be different than the content sunday 11:59:59. I have everything set up for local time ie:
Code:var currentDate:Date = new Date();
But do to legal issues involved I need to set this up so that even if the user is in Alaska the content will change based on Eastern Standard Time.I'm sure I can use timeZoneOffset, but I'm just not sure how to implement it.
