Creating A Simple Countdown...
Hey all,
I'm having some trouble creating a simple countdown timer, as I'm extremely new to actionscript, and have no idea where to start.
All I want to do is create a standalone timer that counts down to a date in this format:
MonthsLeft:aysLeft::HoursLeft::MinutesLeft::Seco ndsLeft
If any of you could help me get started, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,

Creating A Countdown Timer
Hello,
I am creating a countdown timer, it starts at 180 seconds and counts down to 0, then it does something...
I created a dynamic text field, gave it an instance name of timer.. then i added this code on the main frame of the time line, but it doenst work (all of this is wrapped in a MC as well)
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
wait = 1;
starTimer = true;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (timer.starTimer) {
if (timer.startTime == 180) {
timer.startTime = getTimer()/1000;
}
curTime = getTimer()/1000;
if ((curTime-timer.startTime)>=wait) {
timer.starTimer = false;
delete timer.startTime;
// actions to do after time is up
trace ("bing!");
} else {
_root.timeRemaining = wait-(curTime-timer.startTime);
}
}
}

Creating A Countdown From 1987-2007

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);
}
}
Creating A Tunnel Effect/ Creating Snow On Tv
I'm trying to create two effects and I'm new to using swish. Anyone have some hints on how to make a 3D tunnel effect- as if the person viewing is entering a winding hole going down.
I'm also trying to make an effect of snow on television (the static you get when you don't have any reception). Any hints?
Thanks
Creating Animations / Creating Websites In Flash 8
I am trying to find some advanced animations for Flash 8 as well as information on how to build a website in Flash.
I am not exactly sure where i can find these questions out. I need websites that have tutorials that go step by step for beginners because I tried a simple custome scrollbar tutorial on here and got lost. It integrated all this actionscript but never told me where to put it or anything.
Get back at me asap if you can help.

How do you make a countdown to a specific date? the tutorial on flashkit doesn't specify
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!

I've made a simple count down and I'd like to make the counter show two figures even when it has to show a one-figure number (not 9 but 09)
how?
Countdown
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,
