Help with Date Countdown Timer

I’m completely new to Flash and while it seems pretty awesome I’m pretty lost with the scripting.

I am trying to make a date countdown timer using the direction senocular posted. I got through the graphics part, but can’t get the scripting (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown2.htm). I tried looking at the code in the downloadable flash, but I can’t make head or tails of it. I think I could get the date part down, but I can’t get the movie clip part set up.

Could someone help me out? I would really like to be able to do this!! It would help to have instructions that were for a noob - I think the instructions senocular wrote are for someone more familiar with Flash… How about just the straight code that made the example work? At least then I can make my names exactly the same and work out the bugs by eliminating the differences…

Please help! :kir:
