Hi if there's any action scriptur out there I have a file I will be willing to send to you if you can help me out and fix it for me on it. I have Adobe flash CS6 file with a countdown timer in it. But I cannot get it to work right I was wondering if anybody will be willing to download the file I would be happy to send it to them if you think you can look in it and fix in the right timer countdown action script for it. Countdown to Halloween. And a two-minute in 60 seconds timer. Please anyone message me back. Thanks

I already tried to help you, but you just ignored me...
Also, this is your 3rd thread for this problem or did I miss one?
Wait no i did try it. It's just not working.

What I posted was not a solution to fix your problem, it was to try finding what your problem is.
We can't help you if we don't know whats wrong, but you just keep telling us that it doesn't work.
I'll ask again, what does not work?
Do you get an error?
Is your problem to put the calculated values into a textfield or are the calculations wrong?
Or something else?
And if an answer doesn't instantly solve your problem, take your time to tell us that you tried and what exactly happened when you executed it. We can continue solving your problem from there.

I know I'm sorry just that I tried other solutions and I guess I got mixed up with all of them and also I can't seem to get any of them to work right I put in the action script and the numbers symbol but when I test movie out of Swf file The timer isn't showing up and is still invisible with the action script on. I guess I could try it one more time though. But I am willing to send anybody who think they can fix it send them my file. And one of the problems is I can't really figure out where exactly to put the numbers or the amount to get it right. Because it's said that changing the date or the year changes the time which is very confusing to me. And I tried when I put it in but it still invisible. and I do get an error on the output I will send you a screenshot.also there's one on compiler Errors. And okay I will give you even more details as I can thanks for your help.

No need to screen the error(s), you can just copy it as text, what does it say?

Ok no I tried another code so I erased that one and am just going to go by yours. So ok I put this one back in you just gave me and it is working.. But not quiet the numbers are speeding tho randomly now in the SWF export file.
Oh and it says this on it too now >

This is not my code, this is the code you posted in your last thread.
At least we're making progress now.
I assume the number of digits for each part is correct? ("00:00:00:00")
I can't find an error in the calculations, but i'll check again.
The mouse event error is unrelated to this problem and likely somewhere else in your file.

Hmm... We'll just step through it and see where it goes wrong.
var timeLeft = targetTime - currentTime;
trace(timeLeft );// <--insert this trace
var sec = Math.floor(timeLeft/1000);Try putting in this trace and see what the output says.
It represents your countdown in milliseconds, if it works as it's supposed to, the trace output should show a really large number which is decreasing 1000 units per second.
I suspect the string conversion stuff afterwards to cause the issues if this works.
Ok sure thing and where do i put this on the top or bottom of the action script that i have on now? Or just replace the whole script with this one?
Oh you mean like this right here?

The line above and below the trace are already in your script, search for them and place the trace inbetween.

Holy poop! I did this like you told me :
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
var currentTime = today.getTime();
var targetDate:Date = new Date(2016,7,25);

var timeLeft = targetTime - currentTime;
trace(timeLeft );// <--insert this trace

var hours = Math.floor(min/60);
var days = Math.floor(hours/24);
sec = String(sec % 60);
if(sec.length < 2){
sec = "0" + sec;
}
min = String(min % 60);
if(min.length < 2){
min = "0" + min;
}
hours = String(hours % 24);
if(hours.length < 2){
hours = "0" + hours;
}

var newTime:String = "00:00:00:00";

delete (this.onEnterFrame);

}
And ended up with this on the Output:

Take a look at the numbers just in case

Very good, the output is exactly what I expected it to be, try this script:
(replace the current one with this)
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentTime = today.getTime();
var targetDate:Date = new Date(2014,9,31);
var targetTime = targetDate.getTime();
var timeLeft = targetTime - currentTime;
if(timeLeft > 0 ){
var sec:int = timeLeft/1000;
var min:int = sec/60;
var hours:int = min/60;
var days:int = hours/24;
sec %= 60;
min %= 60;
hours %= 24;
var counter:String = days + ":";
if(hours < 10) counter += "0";
counter += hours + ":";
if(min < 10) counter += "0";
counter += min + ":";
if(sec < 10) counter += "0";
counter += sec;
time_txt.text = counter;
}else{
trace("TIME'S UP");
var newTime:String = "00:00:00:00";
time_txt.text = newTime;
delete (this.onEnterFrame);
}
}I hope It'll work, It still does the same, but I no longer use the same var for text and numbers.
(again, I never used as2 and the stuff i wrote above is untested, so there are no guarantees)
If it doesn't work we'll just continue to test it, post any new errors pls.
If it does I'll explain how to make a 2:30 timer from here.
Ok will do and thanks for all your help sorry I wasn't getting it right I was just having a hard time before. Also I just tried it and its still the same thing. Also now says this on the Compiler Errors

Ok, apparently as2 doesn't know int, try:
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentTime:Number = today.getTime();
var targetDate:Date = new Date(2014,9,31);

}Please tell me again what the output looks like when executing this. (a few lines are enough)
Ok and a few lines of what are enough?
Uugh and now it says this:

}Nope none of them still worked. Is there anything I should change or delete? Like change anything here i should do or no?

I don't think you need to change any settings.
What was wrong with the last version? Another error?
Ok and this is what the last one said.
At 10/29/14 01:15 AM, Rovertarthead wrote: And this.
Ok, the calculations should be correct, this means the issue is either converting to string or setting the textfield text.
