i need to make this countdown, when it reaches 0h 0m 0s , it goes to a new SCENE, where i got movie clips etc…

heres the code:  
first frame:

```php

today = new Date();
seconds = Math.floor((event.getTime()-today.getTime())/1000);
minutes = Math.floor(seconds/60);
hours = Math.floor(minutes/60);
days = Math.floor(hours/24);
cday = days;
if (cday<10) {
        cday = ""+cday;
}
chour = hours%24;
if (chour<10) {
        chour = "0"+chour;
}
cminute = minutes%60;
if (cminute<10) {
        cminute = "0"+cminute;
}
csecond = seconds%60;
if (csecond<10) {
        csecond = "0"+csecond;
}
//create a dynamic text named input
input = cday+"dia "+chour+"hr "+cminute+"m "+csecond+"s";
// year, month -1, day, hour
event = new Date(2002, 12, 1, 00);

```

the 2nd frame is just a goto first frame.

I am guessing to just tack on an if statement at the end…

```auto
if (cday<=0 && chour<=0 && cminute<=0 && csecond<=0) {
	_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene", 1);
}

```

Didn’t test it, but that seems logical to me.

Wel you can change the time on your computer.

Like in windows you double click the clock in the lower right corner and it opens it for editing.

Well you just change the time to something like 11:59pm on December 31st, that will read that you only have 1 minute left until midnight. Then you will just have to wait out that minute with your flash movie opened to see if it will work.

well, you’ll just be going to Midnight tonight, so your target will be 24:00:00

get today’s hours and minutes and seconds:

```php

now = new Date()
nSecs = now.getSeconds()
nMin = now.getMinutes()
nHour = now.getHours()
nHtar = 24

```

then make a dynamic text boxe labeled “timeLeft” without the quotes.

```php

timeLeft = (nHtar - nHour)+":"+(60-nMin)+":"+(60-nSecs)

```

that **MIGHT** work. I don’t have flash here, so someone else will have to test it out…

You may have to change the var nHtar to 23 instead…I’m not sure…but try it anyway…

</div>

then just toss in an IF statement to test when everything reaches 0 and then GOTOANDPLAY

```auto
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
today = new Date();
seconds = Math.floor((event.getTime()-today.getTime())/1000);
minutes = Math.floor(seconds/60);
hours = Math.floor(minutes/60);
chour = hours%24;
if (chour<10) {
	chour = "0"+chour;
}
cminute = minutes%60;
if (cminute<10) {
	cminute = "0"+cminute;
}
csecond = seconds%60;
if (csecond<10) {
	csecond = "0"+csecond;
}
//create a dynamic text named input
input = chour+"h "+cminute+"m "+csecond+"s";
// year, month -1, day, hour
event = new Date(2002, 12, 1, 24);
if (chour == 0 && cminute == 0 && csecond == 0) {
	gotoAndPlay("2003", 1);
}

```

I just had to change it from \<=0 to == 0… fickle things like that can be a pain.

Works perfect, I tested it. I also removed the code to get the day since you don’t use it anyway.
