Flash :: Set Countdown Correctly?
Apr 20, 2010
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].................

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 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]....

My 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 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

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 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 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!

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.

In a Flex Project, whenever there's an error, I fill in the error data into a hidden TextInput then show the control to the user. I want to make it so that after showing the TextInput, it will automatically hide itself after some time with a fade effect.

If you set a .swf with wmode transparent mode and register the Event.RESIZE in it. It will not work correctly in Chrome and will ultimately crash the Flash Player. Of course same thing in FF, EI or any other browser works like a charm. Setting wmode to window fixes the problem but anyone knows a work around with wmode set to transparent?

After two days of hard working, reading specs, analyzing hex dump of flv's I feel frustrated. I'm trying to restream flv streming.I slightly modified my old code of shoutcast restreamer but no success. I can't figure where is the problem, probably flv-streming can`t be just cutted in random position and send to other user with header aadded.Flv header which I extracted from many dumped flv's:

I am aligning my display objects in the middle. stage.stageWidth/2. for some reason, they are aligning further off to the right of the screen. I haven't altered anything but the stage width in flash. Has anyone heard of this problem? Again, I haven't done anything except widen the screen and adjust the height.
My focus point on the display object is top left. So it aligns perfectly when set to 0,0
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.stageWidth = 300;

I donwloaded this small sample for jquery [URL] it is a plugin for a webpage and it displays a flash player to capture a qr code through a webcam. It shows the flash player in firefox and chrome, but it doesn't show it in IE. I do have the flash player in IE because i tried the project in this webpage [URL] and it does display the qr code. A person told me to check if it was embeded using swfobject and I checked the .js file of the project and it is embedding it as an swfobject, this is part of the code in the jqery.webcamqrcode.js

I had a problem with my hitTestObject collision detection a couple of days ago which has since been fixed (How can I solve my hitTestObject Collision Null Object Ref Error) with the help of you folks. My problem now is as such: When my "enemy.hit" comes into contact with "player.hit" it registers as a hit - this is good. When my "building.collide" comes into contact with "player.hit" it registers as a hit - this is good.
However, when my "building.collide" comes into contact with my "enemy.hit" it does not register, but sometimes it does register even though the only enemy on-screen is many pixels away from it - as if either the building or enemy "hitBox" is somewhere other than directly on the graphic(MovieClip in this case).

I am trying to get my flash buttons working. When I click on them they open a new window and none of the graphics show up. I need it to open in the same window and I have no idea why the graphics aren't linking. They are on my computer not on a server. In addition I need to add multiple buttons to the action script without messing up the entire movie. It seems when I try and add event listeners for the other buttons it won't play at all.want it to go to a page outside of the flash movie. This is a swf placed in Dreamweaver the buttons need to go to other site pages.
