Countdown Timer

[makaveli]

i have this code

 

>onFrame (31,afterPlacedObjectEvents) {
 today = new Date();
 today_dt = today.getTime(); today_dt = Math.floor(today_dt/1);
 target = new Date(2007, 03, 15); // date until glc gig
 target_dt = target.getTime(); target_dt = Math.floor(target_dt/1);
 
 
 timeLeft = target_dt - today_dt - 3600;
 
 if (timeLeft<0) { timeLeft = 0; }
 
 remDay = Math.floor(timeLeft / 86400000);
 timeLeft %= 86400000;
 remHour = Math.floor(timeLeft / 3600000); 
 timeLeft %= 3600000;
 remMin = Math.floor(timeLeft / 60000); 
 timeLeft %= 60000;
 remSec = Math.floor(timeLeft / 1000); 
 timeLeft %= 1000;
 remMil = timeLeft;
 
 if (remDay<366) {dlz="0";} else {dlz="";}
 if (remHour<10) {hlz="0";} else {hlz="";}
 if (remMin<10) {mlz="0";} else {mlz="";}
 if (remSec<10) {slz="0";} else {slz="";}
 if (remMil<10) {slz="0";} else {slz="";}
 
 days.text = dlz add remDay;
 hours.text = hlz add remHour;
 minutes.text = mlz add remMin;
 seconds.text = slz add remSec;
 milliseconds.text = slz add remMil;
}
onFrame (32,afterPlacedObjectEvents) {
 prevFrameAndPlay();
}

 

i'd instead of midnight like it to countdown to march 15th 7:30pm as this is the time of the event but the code has me going mad!

any ideas?

Why not use a script that has those variables built in.

thanks Bruce, i normally would use a java one but this one was meant to be flash.

it took a bit of math to adjust this bit

 

>timeLeft = target_dt - today_dt - 3600;

 

to get it down to the right second (out came calculator and its done

here is a simple one:

 

script:

 

<script language="JavaScript">

TargetDate = "12/31/2020 5:00 AM";

BackColor = "palegreen";

ForeColor = "navy";

CountActive = true;

CountStepper = -1;

LeadingZero = true;

DisplayFormat = "%%D%% Days, %%H%% Hours, %%M%% Minutes, %%S%% Seconds.";

FinishMessage = "It is finally here!";

</script>

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://scripts.hashemian.com/js/countdown.js"></script

var SetTimeOutPeriod = (Math.abs(CountStepper)-1)*1000 + 990;

putspan(BackColor, ForeColor);

var dthen = new Date(TargetDate);

var dnow = new Date();

if(CountStepper>0)

ddiff = new Date(dnow-dthen);

else

Just change what you need to

Thanks Jayson, but he wanted one in Flash.
