Countdown

Countdown (Not A Timer Countdown)
Ok, everything seems to be working but I do have a dilemma. Every time I run it, it will automatically starts counting down while the rest of the dynamic text won't be displayed until the button is released which is kinda silly to have it countdown when the rest of the information is not even being displayed yet.

My question is:
1) How do I go about not displaying the rng_txt.text = theTime right at start?
2) How do I make it reset (or restart) again when I press the mouse button? (right now when I press the button it changes to a different 'radar' and I would like the countDown to restart when this is done.

Thanks guys.


Code:
var intervalID:Number;
var theTime:Number;
var startingRange:Array = [120,110,100,90,80,70,60,50,40,30,25];
var duration:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * startingRange.length);

intervalID = setInterval(_root.countDown,250);
this.enabled = false;

function onEnterFrame():Void
{
// Array with all the ESM names
var radarArray:Array = ["HighFix","Type 245","Slotback","Jay Bird","Eagle Eye","Primus 80","ORB 32","Agrion 15","Grifo 7"];

// Picks an ESM name from the radarArray
var randomRadar:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * radarArray.length);

// Creates a random number between 0 and 60 for the bearing
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 60 + 1);

// Creates random numbers from 0 to 77 for the track numbers
var randomTrk:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 77);

// Function to activate the button.onRelease event to display the texts
again_btn.onRelease = function()
{
// inputs information to all the dynamic text on screen
radar_txt.text = radarArray[randomRadar];
esmTrk_txt.text = "34" + randomTrk;
trk_txt.text = "Suspect";
trkNum_txt.text = "34" + randomTrk - 5;

// if brg is less than 10 degrees then add 00s or 0s infront of it
if (randomNum < 10)
brg_txt.text = "00" + randomNum;
else
brg_txt.text = "0" + randomNum;



again_btn.enabled = false;
} // end of again_btn.onRelease
} // end of onEnterFrame event

function countDown():Void
{
//Sets the speed at which the range will count down
theTime = Math.round(startingRange[duration] - getTimer() / 750);

rng_txt.text = theTime;

if(theTime < 5)
{
_root.again_btn.enabled = true;
clearInterval(intervalID);
}
}

Countdown
Hi everybody,

Have a question for you.

I would like to make a countdown till December 31st. (with the amount of days, hours, minutes and seconds to go.., hours, minutes and seconds without the amount of days will do as well.)

I wasn't able to find much about this subject. The only thing I did find was something using a PHP file. The PHP file would look something like this:
----------------------------------
<?
$shckzeit = time();
$shckdat = getdate($shckzeit);
$shckjahr =$shckdat[year];
$shckyday =$shckdat[yday];

$shckstun =$shckdat[hours];
$shckmin =$shckdat[minutes];
$shcksek =$shckdat[seconds];

print "&shckjahr=$shckjahr&";
print "&shckyday=$shckyday&";
print "&shckstun=$shckstun&";
print "&shckmin=$shckmin&";
print "&shcksek=$shcksek&";
?>
----------------------------------

My question now would be:
Is there any way of doing this without this PHP file? Can't I just get the date and time from the users system?

Or does anyone know an 'easy way' of doing something like this, 'cause I'm far from being brilliant at ActionScripting.

Thanx!

How would you show in a textbox the time left between the current date and time and the date and time of a due date?
I would also like to make a color box to show urgency.
For example: if there is 30 minutes left till the due date, the colorbox would be red.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks so much,

Countdown Help?
Hi. I'm kind of new to Flash and have been fooling around with it some and reading up some tutorials but I can't find anything about making a countdown with a sort of background (similar to the one on this site- http://www.mugglenet.com/). I know it's probably really easy and I'm just really ignorant when it comes to the matter, but nevertheless- I still need help. So if someone could make a countdown to January 9, 2008 using this background- http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...ntdowncopy.jpg - that would be extremely helpful. (I need a Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds section in the center)

Or if someone could explain how to do it, that would be awesome. I'm a complete newbie at Flash and have no idea how to do almost anything. So if you have the kind of patience to deal with me.... Thanks.

[F8] After Countdown
Hi all,

I found a countdown tutorial which work very well.
Nothing happens when the countdown is reached and I'd like it to.
I obviously can't get my condition right when the countdown is reached.
Ideally I would like to get to the next frame, can someone help me?

stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

var todayate = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
var currentTime = today.getTime();

var targetDate: Date = new Date(currentYear,06,12);
var targetTime= targetDate.getTime();

var timeLeft = targetTime - currentTime;

var sec = Math.floor(timeLeft/1000);
var min = Math.floor(sec/60);
var hrs = Math.floor(min/60);
var days = Math.floor(hrs/24);
sec = string(sec % 60);
if (sec.length < 2){
sec = "0" + sec;
}
min = string(min % 60);
if (min.length < 2){
min = "0" + min;
}
hrs = string(hrs % 24);
if (hrs.length < 2){
hrs = "0" + hrs;
}
days = string(days);

var counter:String = days + " d " + hrs + " h " + min + " m " + sec + " s " ;
time_txt.text = counter;

if (targetTime = currentTime) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

}


That last condition brings me straight to the the next frame!?

Cheers

Countdown
Hello,

I have a question about making a countdown timer. Now I've seen some examples here already how to make a countdown timer (and afterwards go to a new movie) but I would like something extra in it.

First of all I want a new movie to load after the ending point has been reached but I also want a designated flash movie to only play at a certain time and after that never again. For example I want the movie to play tommorow at 3:00 pm and after that it should never play. This movie will end at 3:05 pm and afterwards it will go to a new movie. But if someone joins in later (somewhere at 3:02) the movie should start at a frame that corresponds with the time it takes to get to 3:02 (2 minutes).

What I want is something like live streaming but not 'really' live streaming.

Unfortunately I'm not a genious with Actionscript yet and this is rather complex for me but I bet some of you guys and girls are so if you could give me some tips and trics, please?
