Countdown timer reference date from a textfile

programming flash
1

Hi guys,

I am a noob when it comes to scripting. Please help me on this one, I saw this countdown timer (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown2.htm) and I want the date to be referenced on a text file. :*(

here is the code;

// first get this current year so this example
// remains valid for some time to come
currentDate = new Date();
thisYear = currentDate.getFullYear();

eventDate = new Date(thisYear, 11, 25); [COLOR=Olive]==> This will be read from a text file[/COLOR]
eventMillisecs = eventDate.getTime();

Hoping for your response.

Thank you in advance.
