Re: [flexcoders] A way to Timer

[Igor Costa]

Try to use this code. i used that to create a cutdown timer for flash cs3 ,
so will give you an idea on how to do that.



this.onEnterFrame = function() {

    var hoje:Date = new Date();
    var anoAtual:Number = hoje.getFullYear();
    var horaAtual:Number = hoje.getTime();

    var dataEvento:Date = new Date(anoAtual, 9, 2);
    var tempoAlvo:Number = dataEvento.getTime();

    var tempoRestante:Number = tempoAlvo-horaAtual;

    var segundos = Math.floor(tempoRestante/1000);
    var minutos = Math.floor(segundos/60);
    var horas = Math.floor(minutos/60);
    var dias = Math.floor(horas/24);

    // iniciando o contagem regressiva

    segundos = String(segundos%60);

    if (segundos.length<2) {
        segundos = "0" + segundos;
    }

    minutos = String(minutos%60);
    if (minutos.length<2) {
        minutos = "0"+ minutos;
    }
    horas = String(horas%24);

    if (horas.length<2) {
        horas = "0"+horas;
    }
    dias = String(dias);

    var contador:String = dias+":"+horas+":"+minutos+":"+segundos;
    // tempo_txt
    tempo_txt.text = contador;
    // Finalizando
};
