Hi all.

I have looked at the tutorial at [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown.htm). I downloaded the servercoundown file.

My problem is that when I copy the frames and the AS over to a new Movie Clip it stops working.  
I make a new file, then copy the first frame of layer one of servercoundown to the first frame of the first layer of the new file.  
Then I copy the second frame of the first layer to the second frame of the first layer in the new file.  
Then I save the file in the same directory as servercountdown.fla so the file can access the gettime.php

The the new file only run once thru all the number then says “Horah!”

Please help
