I’ve been working on making my own little countdown… I’ve tried everything I can think of and it still won’t work…

My problem is… When I go to play the movie, it doesn’t count down properly… Instead each of the “number” clips I have set up just play normally… It’s as if it’s not recognising the different instances I gave them for the days, minutes, hours, etc.

Can anyone help? I followed the tutorial and finally gave up just copy and pasting the source from the “working example”… But that still didn’t work… any help? anyone… PLEASE! lol
