Hi!
[COLOR=Red]IMPORTANT: I am an idiot. I can only understand things that obvious. Please go easy on me.[/COLOR]
I have been playing around with the Countdown Clock described at http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown.htm.
This tutorial sets up a clock that counts down to Christmas for the given year.
I wanted to set up a clock that would count down to an event that would take place March 4, 2005, starting at 8 pm Central time.
With the current clock, there is a line that reads:
[INDENT]eventDate = new Date(thisYear, 11, 25);[/INDENT]
When I change “11, 25” (December 25) to “2, 4” (March 4), the counter will already have reached the end, because it assumes I am talking about this year, when March 4 has already passed. What can I do to set this up for an event that takes place next year?
Next problem: how do I set this up to run to March 4, 2005, at 8 pm Central time? Right now, the file is set up to run to midnight, and to look at the user’s computer date & time. Since I am shooting for 8 pm Central Time, then users in Eastern Time will get a different counter than Central Time users.
I have attached the FLA file in its current state. I am using MX 2004, in case it matters.
Thanks in advance for your time and patience with an idiot.
Best,
Mike
