                paramSecs = parseInt(valueStr);
                break;
        }
    }
}

function recieveTextFromHtml(secs) {

    //Create a date object for Christmas Morning
    var christmas:Date = new Date(2060, 11, 25, 0, 0, 0, 0);

    now.setTime(int_milli);

    function incrementDate():void {

        now.setTime(int_milli);
        // Conditional to snap to frame 3 if it is xmas or past xmas
        if (now >= christmas) {
            gotoAndStop(3);
        }
        // Set the difference between the two date and times in milliseconds
        var timeDiff:Number = christmas.getTime() - now.getTime();
        //Convert the timeDiff(which is in milliseconds) into regular seconds-minutes-hours-days
        //The Math.floor is the closest rounded integer that is less than or equal to the decimal number
        var seconds:Number = Math.floor(timeDiff / 1000);
        var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
        
        // Set the remainder of the division vars above
        
        minutes %= 5;
        seconds %= 60;

        int_milli = int_milli + 1000;
        if (minutes==0 && seconds==10){
            
    var startthegame = new startsoon();
    startthegame.play();

        }
        
    }    
    setInterval(incrementDate,1000);
}

GetFlashVars();
if (paramSecs != 0)
    recieveTextFromHtml(paramSecs);
