10 minute countdown

[joansaco]

Hi all,

Im trying to make a 10 minute countdown with white numbers and black background.

just need minutes, seconds and milliseconds

hope anyone can help in sending a fla file or in telling me the easiest way to do this. I dont need a start button or anything else, just the countdown and when time is over just the numbers as 00:00:000

Thanks

Using the Timer class should be able to handle everything. Here are a couple of tutorials that may help.

Hi samuc1068

The problem with thos tutorials is that all of them talk about countdowns to a specific date in the future an I only need it for 10 min.

i will use this in my Bar telling everyone that the bar is closing in 10 min and countdown till 00

Thanks in advance and sorry for answering to late

var tx:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(tx);

const COUNTDOWN:uint = 6000000;    //  600000 ms = 10 minutes

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function(e:Event):void{
    var d:Date = new Date(Math.max(COUNTDOWN - getTimer(), 0));
    var minutes:String = String(d.minutes);
    var seconds:String = String(d.seconds);
    var milliseconds:String = String(int(d.milliseconds * 100) / 100);

    while(minutes.length < 2) minutes = '0' + minutes;
    while(seconds.length < 2) seconds = '0' + seconds;
    while(milliseconds.length < 3) milliseconds = '0' + milliseconds;
    tx.text = minutes + ':' + seconds + '.' + milliseconds;
});
