Hi guys! I’m going to deliver a presentation tomorrow and there’s two “slides” of it that require a simple countdown timer, the first counts down from 3:00 minutes to 0 and the second one counts from 25:00 minutes to 0. The problem is I thought “well, let’s just make the whole presentation and leave that for last”, and now I can’t get the code to work! If someone has some suggestion on how I would approach this issue (actionscript-wise) I would appreciate it very much! I’ve already googled for a flash easy countdown timer but everything I’ve seen revolves around days and hours (which I don’t really need), and when I try to adapt their code to my needs I always end up breaking some part of it! Anyway… thanks in advance!! :}
