Countdown timer with MovieClips in AS3

programming flash
1

Hi everybody,
I’m quite new to Flash, so hopefully this isn’t a stupid question. I just saw the Senocular’s tutorial here about making a date countdown timer with MovieClips.

I need a countdown timer with MovieClips for a project, but it has to be in ActionScript3 in a class. I have 1 week trying this, please some help.

Is there anybody who could help me?, please :frowning:

1000 Thanx!

This is the code in AS2 from Senocular tutorial that i want to pass to AS3 in a class:

currentDate = new Date();
thisYear = currentDate.getFullYear();
eventDate = new Date(thisYear, 11, 25);
eventMillisecs = eventDate.getTime();

counter.onEnterFrame = function()
{
currentDate = new Date();
currentMillisecs = currentDate.getTime();

this.msecs = eventMillisecs - currentMillisecs;
     
this.secs = Math.floor(this.msecs/1000); 
this.mins = Math.floor(this.secs/60); 
this.hours = Math.floor(this.mins/60);
this.days = Math.floor(this.hours/24);

this.msecs = string(this.msecs % 1000);
this.secs = string(this.secs % 60);
this.mins = string(this.mins % 60);
this.hours = string(this.hours % 24);
this.days = string(this.days);

while (this.msecs.length < 3) this.msecs = "0" + this.msecs;
if (this.secs.length < 2) this.secs = "0" + this.secs;
if (this.mins.length < 2) this.mins = "0" + this.mins;
if (this.hours.length < 2) this.hours = "0" + this.hours;
while (this.days.length < 3) this.days = "0" + this.days;

for(movie in this)
{
   if (this[movie]._parent == this) this[movie].evaluateFrameFrom(this);
}

};

MovieClip.prototype.evaluateFrameFrom = function(variableClip)
{
var nameArray = this.name.split("");
var numberSet = variableClip[nameArray[0]];
var character = number(nameArray[1]);
var frame = 1 + number(numberSet.charAt(character));
if (this._currentframe != frame) this.gotoAndStop(frame);
};
