I used the tutorial, but my clock still won’t count down …any help? suggestions???  
here’s the script, it is just like on the tutorial…Help !

\_root.onEnterFrame + function() {  
var myDate = new Date();  
var myHours = myDate.getHours();  
var myMinutes = myDate.getMinutes();  
var mySeconds = myDate.getSeconds();  
var AmPm;  
if (myHours \< 12){  
AmPm = “AM”;  
}  
else  
{  
AmPm = “PM”;  
}  
if (myHours == 0) {  
myHours = 12;  
}  
if (myHours \> 12) {  
myHours = myHours - 12;  
}  
if (myHours \<10) {  
myHours = “0” + myhours;  
}
