user input to set how much to countdown

[danielrackham]

Hi
I am trying to make a countdown that will countdown to a time during the day that is specified by the user. They would type in a time i.e. 19:00 into a input text box and then press start and it would update the actionscript for the countdown which is in scene two.

Not sure how to get the actionscript in scene 2 to update itself from what the user types in.

Here attached is the file i am working on.

Any help would be appreciated. Or does any body know of any tutorials that might help me.

before you move onto the next scene (button press or AS) you need to get what is in the text field and make it a number. You can do it in just one line of code! Then, (assuming your countdown is already working) you just give it this variable.

_root.countdown = Number(myText_txt.text);
