Days countdown from txt file

programming flash
1

hi all. I’m using this script


this.createEmptyMovieClip("loader_mc", 0);
loadVariables("assets/flash/splash/deadlines2.txt", loader_mc);
// Variables declaration
year;
month;
day;
desc;
// Check if variables text file are loaded
function varLoaded() {
    if (loader_mc.y != undefined) {
        year = loader_mc.y;
        month = loader_mc.m;
        day = loader_mc.d;
        desc = loader_mc.desc;
        clearInterval(interval);
    }
    // Then call function to calculate days difference
    diffDays();
}
var interval = setInterval(varLoaded, 100);
//
function diffDays() {
    var end_date = new Date(year, month, day);
    var tmp_date = new Date();
    var now_date = new Date(tmp_date.getFullYear(), tmp_date.getMonth(), tmp_date.getDate());
    var difference = end_date.getTime()-now_date.getTime();
    var daysleft = difference/1000/60/60/24;
   desc2.autoSize = "left";
    desc2.htmlText = !daysleft ? "<b>> Today" : "<b>> " + daysleft+(daysleft>1 ? " Days</b>" : " Day</b>") + desc;
    desc2.setTextFormat(new TextFormat("Verdana", 9));
}

it acts pretty flaky, sometimes it works sometimes i get some weird results.

if i put this:

y=2007&m=2&d=23&desc= Deadline - Mar. 23, 2007

into the txt file i get 23.9583333333333 Days. Which 23 isn’t right even. plus i don’t need any of those decimals. Any direction would be awesome.

Thanks,
Mike
