Clock Countdown

[svsaproductions]

Hello,

How can I create clock (just a dynamic txt field) with minutes and seconds that counts down, when it gets to a minute it turns red, but if it hits Zero, it goes to a frame, let's say frame "game over".

Please help,

-Jim

You'd be best making a function such as:

function timeConv(sec:int):String {
var mins:int = 0;
while(sec>=60){
mins++;
sec-=60;
}
return String(mins+":"+sec);
}

(probably not perfect I just wrote as an example) and then just have an int variable named time with the maximum time and each second take away 1 from it, have something like:

mytextbox.text = timeConv(total_time);

For changing the colour of the clock press F1 in Flash and look up textFormat.color. Hex for red is 0xFF0000

Fantastic coding style by the way, I guess doing it for a job it just comes natural.. commenting so meticulously.. unless you only did that for the guys benefit ^_^

Nah, they're both functions I re-use for quite a few of the games I make, I learnt the hard way that going back into old projects is a LOT harder without comments

Anyways, thanks for sharing the code and movieclip, it's just what I needed and worked excellent with a change of font. :)
