help in AS3 code of 24 hour countdown timer

Jan 2, 2012 8:57 PM

hello,

i just wanna ask if someone can help me,

i created a 24 hour flash countdown timer here http://allofmyworks.weebly.com/flash.html

the problem is when it reaches the desired time, the time still counts and became negative,

what i want is to make it only 24hour countdown clock and when it reaches the time it will only stay in 00:00:00

thanks

here is the code i used

var endDate:Date = new Date(2012,0,4);

var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);

countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);

countdownTimer.start();

function updateTime(e:TimerEvent):void

{

var now:Date = new Date();

var timeLeft:Number = endDate.getTime() - now.getTime();

var seconds:Number = Math.floor(timeLeft / 1000);

var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds / 60);

var hours:Number = Math.floor(minutes / 60);

seconds %= 60;

minutes %= 60;

var sec:String = seconds.toString();

var min:String = minutes.toString();

var hrs:String = hours.toString();

if (sec.length < 2) {

sec = "0" + sec;

}

if (min.length < 2) {

min = "0" + min;

}

if (hrs.length < 2) {

hrs = "0" + hrs;

}

var time:String = hrs + ":" + min + ":" + sec;

time_txt.text = time;

}

thanks brother, can you make it specific time on this part

var endDate:Date = new Date(2012,0,4);

let say i want it to end at that date above but on specific time like 8 in the morning

thanks Dr. Gladstien

another is can you make another code which is just 24 hour countdown, no specific date like the above because i will use it frequently and i need to change the date on the code everytime right?

to end on that date at 0800, use:

var endDate:Date = new Date(2012,0,4,8);

to use a 24hr countdown:

var endDate:Date = new Date(new Date().getTime()+24*60*60*1000);

sir another question
on this code
to use a 24hr countdown:

var endDate:Date = new Date(new Date().getTime()+24*60*60*1000);

when it reaches 00:00:00 it does not stop there but instead the 24 hour countdown will start again
can you please revised the code so it will stop on 00:00:00

function startF():void{
new Date(new Date().getTime()+24*60*60*1000);

}

should be

function startF():void{
endDate=new Date(new Date().getTime()+24*60*60*1000);
countdownTimer.start();
}
