Hi there

Literally started using flash on Monday but think I have a good grasp of the basics. I’m making a countdown timer that needs to go from 2000 to 0 in 10 seconds.

This is what it looks like just so you have an idea of how I need it to work. Want to make it a movieclip as there will be a button connected to stop the timer (i’m pretty confident I can do that at least!)

Any help given would be greatly appreciated as I realise you’re giving up some time to help me. I’m using Action script 2 running on Flash CS6…I could use AS3 if recommended.

Thanks in advance!
