I’ve tried [this](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown.htm) tutorial about timers, and I everything work out just fine.  
The one problem is that I want to be able to alter the date  
its counting down to, and I have no clue how to do that…

I’ve tried to put variables in the newDate but that doesn’t work, is there a way to do this, or is it just impossible?(-:
