Countdown

[seanf]

Hey Everyone,

Can anyone show me how to make a countdown in days, hours, minutes and seconds until a certain day starting from a specified date and time? Only thing is it has to be with Flash 5, that's all I've got

Thanks for any help

Sean

Well make a blank mc on the stage and put a dynamic textbox in it with a variable name of myDate. Then attach the following clip events to the instance of the clip on the main stage.

onClipEvent(load) {
 dateObj = new Date(2003,5,30,14,30,00);
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
 var curDate = new Date();
 diff = Math.ceil((dateObj.getTime() - curDate.getTime()) / 1000);
 numdays = Math.floor(diff/86400);
 numhours = Math.floor((diff/3600)%24);
 nummin = Math.floor((diff/60)%60);
 numsec = Math.floor(diff%60);
 myDate = numdays + " days " + numhours + " hours " + nummin + " minutes " + numsec + " seconds";
}
