Hi all I found this code in this forum for a countdown to days:
[COLOR=#000000]**var**[/COLOR] end_date = [COLOR=#000000]**new**[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]Date[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]2007[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]11[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]7[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]**var**[/COLOR] tmp_date = [COLOR=#000000]**new**[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]Date[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]**var**[/COLOR] now_date = [COLOR=#000000]**new**[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]Date[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]tmp_date.[COLOR=#0000FF]getFullYear[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR], tmp_date.[COLOR=#0000FF]getMonth[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR], tmp_date.[COLOR=#0000FF]getDate[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]**var**[/COLOR] difference = end_date.[COLOR=#0000FF]getTime[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]-now_date.[COLOR=#0000FF]getTime[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]**var**[/COLOR] daysleft = difference/[COLOR=#000080]1000[/COLOR]/[COLOR=#000080]60[/COLOR]/[COLOR=#000080]60[/COLOR]/[COLOR=#000080]24[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]createTextField[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]"daysleft_txt"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]0[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]0[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]0[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]0[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]0[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

It works excellent i was wondering if there was a way to do something like this but have it access an xml file for the new Date(); Basically i want the ability to change the date without having to go into the FLA everytime. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
