Making a "time is up" bar

Hi
I´m thinking of doing a small bar, looking lika a standard pre loader that will decrease until the time is up. Anyway I just wonder if anyone has any ideas how this could be done. I´m quite familiar with as programming but

You want to use a bar on a countdown timer?

I´m quite familiar with as programming but

You can take this preloader tut:

and just use the bar idea out of it. Have a bar with the registration point on the side it will collapse to, then whatever you’re counting down, apply that value to the bar’s _width property.

Something like this?<br>[swf=http://www.geocities.com/claudiodj/timer.swf width=100 heigth=70][/swf]
