I’m trying to make a countdown timer, but I haven’t really learnt all about actionscript. (not yet anyway), but I need a timer that can count down the hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds from a given time to an other.

I need the start timer to say:

01:31:53:70 (hour:minutes:seconds:milliseconds) and then it should count down so the timer stops at:  
01:30:00:00

I’m hoping that some of all our fine geniuses can help me with this 🙂

Thx
