Countdown timer to event?

1

Hello everybody,

I just want to make a timer counting down to an event and I found this one:

//Create your Date() object
var endDate:Date = new Date(2009,9,5);
//Create your Timer object
//The time being set with milliseconds(1000 milliseconds = 1 second)
var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
//Adding an event listener to the timer object
countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);
//Initializing timer object
countdownTimer.start();
//Calculate the time remaining as it is being updated
function updateTime(e:TimerEvent):void
{
    //Current time
    var now:Date = new Date();
    var timeLeft:Number = endDate.getTime() - now.getTime();
    //Converting the remaining time into seconds, minutes, hours, and days
    var seconds:Number = Math.floor(timeLeft / 1000);
    var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
    var hours:Number = Math.floor(minutes / 60);
    var days:Number = Math.floor(hours / 24);

    //Storing the remainder of this division problem
    seconds %= 60;
    minutes %= 60;
    hours %= 24;

    //Converting numerical values into strings so that
    //we string all of these numbers together for the display
    var sec:String = seconds.toString();
    var min:String = minutes.toString();
    var hrs:String = hours.toString();
    var d:String = days.toString();

    //Setting up a few restrictions for when the current time reaches a single digit
    if (sec.length < 2) {
        sec = "0" + sec;
    }

    if (min.length < 2) {
        min = "0" + min;
    }

    if (hrs.length < 2) {
        hrs = "0" + hrs;
    }

    //Stringing all of the numbers together for the display
    var time:String = d + " DAYS " + hrs + " HOURS ";
    //Setting the string to the display
    time_txt.text = time;
}

which works good enough for me, but the problem is that I need this timer to count the same time no matter in which time zone are you, but unfortunately this isn’t the case. Any ideas? I would be very very thankful …
