Hi all,

I'm making a site and I want a countdown in flash,
but I'm a beginner in flash and I don't find anything usefull on the net.

The countdown shouldn't have php or anything else included,
cause the domain doesn't support anything like it.

So it should be a very basic countdown.
It needs to count down to 25/02/2007
background collor is #033666
font collor #6B9533
width="205" height="50"

thx

I consider it pretty rude that you sign up for a forum and post details of what you want then expect somebody to make it. Maybe you should try to learn something about flash (and manners).

And to help... here's the jist of things:

var target_date:Date = new Date(
	2007, /* year */
	0,	/* month (0-11) */
	0,	/* day (1-31) */
	0,	/* hour (0-23) */
	0,	/* minute (0-59) */
	0,	/* seconds (0-59) */
	0	 /* milliseconds (0-999) */
);

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
	var now:Date = new Date(); // this is the current time
	var difference:Date = new Date(target_date.getTime() - now.getTime());
	trace(difference);
}

Hope this helps

Control + Enter when you're testing a movie (Command + Enter on mac, of course)
