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 Repliesgotta clock that goes from 60seconds-0secondsthats the code it works finebut i cant find out how to make it go to the next scene when it hits zero i tried code 2 but it doesnt work
//CODE1
counter = 60;
setInterval(countDown, 1000);

I'm coding a clock/countdown timer, and I'm confused about the UTC time. Currently Windows tells me that it's 11:41 UTC+1 (I live in Poland), but when I google the current UTC time it's 9:41 (UTC+0), so where did that one hour go?

View 1 RepliesI 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 Repliesmaking an image based countdown timer that counts from 30 seconds to zero showing seconds and milliseconds that begins counting down when loading. I know I could make this by basically animating it but im sure it would be far less work to code it. By image based what I mean is that instead of the timer simply being variable text that is constantly changing, I am aiming for each digit to be an image.
View 3 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();

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 2 RepliesI've been surfing around trying to find a tutorial or an open source file, on how to make an analogue clock tick backwards to a defined date/time. Maybe even with a shorter day 'hand'.
There's some really good digital looking ones out there, but me being the difficult person I am, it has to be analogue.
i am trying to create a 24 hour countdown clock that will loop and play backwards counting it self back down to 00:00:00:00, being new to flash As3 i am struggling to create this animation
00:00:00:00
hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds
I have been given this code by a very helpful user
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
var currentSeconds:int = 86400;
var milliseconds:int = 86400000;[code].......
the problem i am having now is do i need to add an instance name to the 00:00:00:00 design on the flash stage for the code to work as i have tried and i think im doing something wrong.

spent all morning trying to intergrate a xml feed into the countdown clock from the tutorial offered on this site.
var eventDate;
var race_time;
var race_location;
var raceYear = race_year;
var raceMonth = race_month;

The problem seems stem from the XML data coming in as a string which then needs to be converted into a integer for the new Date(); object.
I don't know how to do it. Check it out

What we have is a countdown clock that hits 0 at the start of a global sailboat race. The race start is in New Zealand, our servers are in Chicago. We're using a php script to pull the time from the server in Chicago, but for some reason the clock looks different in each time zone. This is a problem, because if your at the race it will say 10 minutes to the start, but if your in Chicago, it will say 10 hours or whatever it is.Here's the site.
Here's the code, AS2:
Code:
var targetDate:Date = new Date(2009, 1, 20, 19, 15, 0, 0);/*correct start time in chicago time. start time is feb 21, 01:15 */
var currentDate:Date;
if (cMilli != undefined) {

I have changed my newDate to see where the problem lies but cannot get it to match my target time to 2/22/2012 7pm

I have a simple analog clock, but I want it to show how long time store is open. so I quess there have to have some kind of transparent circle, which goes along as clock's pointers how to execute this?
Code:
time=new Date(); // time object

minutes = time.getMinutes()

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)
View 3 Repliesbasically i want to build a flash based mechanical clock. I have all my gears with the correct ratios. I could have them all rotate via timeline animation but i would prefer not to make a 17000 frame animation when i could probably code it much more efficiently. So say gear A is rotating at one revolution per second CW. how could I code gear B to rotate a full revolution CCW every 10 times gear A revolves. then have gear C rotate once CW every time gear B rotates 6 times.
View 1 RepliesI 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

I would like to make a binary countdown clock now. I followed senocular's tutorial on making a countdown timer, but it didn't work. How to make a countdown timer, and if possible make it use individual units of time, not just milliseconds, for the calculations. The problem with his tutorial that keeps me from changing the code to fit my needs is that it converts the numbers into a string and changes the numbers accordingly. I need to change the alpha of an mc depending on if the number goes into the binary form of the time left until the event.
When I made my clock, I knew that the time could never go under 1:00:00, and never over 23:59:59. All I did was made each "light" check what the value was, and if it needed to be "on" or "off", and then changed it accordingly. The code in each "light" is about 115 lines. Imagine making a check for each value if the event date is a year away! I can't attach a *.fla for my clock, because it is too big, but it's located here.
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 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.

View 8 RepliesI want to calculate the number of ms elapsed between 2 time points for measuring reaction time. The system clock change (e.g. from auto sync) messed up the calculation.The function flash.utils.getTimer is supposed to return the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the Flash runtime virtual machine for ActionScript 3.0 (AVM2) started. This number of milliseconds is not affected by system clock change on Windows, but this is not true on Mac. The Date class is affected by system clock change on Windows or Mac.Is there any other timing function that returns time which is not affected by system clock change on Mac?
View 1 RepliesI'm having a lot of trouble getting my AS3 code to work. I have made a digital clock that grabs the system's time and I want to be able to control the speed of the time by using a slider and a button to reset the time back to the system's clock. Any idea how I go about doing this? I figure I need to grab the system's time and then stop it and create my own clock by increasing the seconds by 1.
