Thank you for your work creating this tutorial to learn how to create a flash countdown clock in adobe flash program, i believe your actionscript code is accurate or correct to actually make the countdown flash clock work, however i did not test it, i would have out of courtesy but i do not need, i too have a website about flash clocks and countdown clocks, so i created hundreds of each one, i must only say good work.

I have a weird problem. I’ve gone through every countdown tutorial I’ve found and I see no difference in my code… The timer runs fine usually for about 6 hours and then suddenly it starts counting hours as fast as second and after a while minutes too pass as fast as seconds.

I’m getting desperate with this problem, so if anyone can even guess what might be the problem I’d be most thankful.

The code above is GREAT! However, I’d like to change it up so I’m counting down ONLY in MINUTES. Also, is there a way to space out the counter? The numbers seem VERY close together.

Thanks!

The counter works amazing!
How do I get it to stop at 0 though? So say everything runs down and hits zero and then it stays there. No negative numbers.

Thanks much
