infinite110: maybe try using absolute paths to both the SWF and the XML files:

Nice timer! Is there a way to make it count down only days?

Erickr: I guess that you could delete all of the HOURS , MINUTES and SECONDS number windows + text and colon windows then change the minimum and maximum number window references to this (to display 2 day windows):

var numberWindowsMin_num:Number = 3; var numberWindowsMax_num:Number = 4;

…but you’d only see it animate when the number of days changed i.e. at midnight.

Where does this timer get the synchronizing time from? Is it from any specific server time or with your computer clock?, because I made some test and the second work differently when been reset several times…

OH… I got it…. its not a timer server stuff like the one I seen…its a simple timer entering specific date time, days and so on…. nice job…!

gotDESIGN: Yeah it gets the current time from the local system. So if a user’s clock isn’t accurate then the timer will be off. My Mac’s time and date is automatically synchronized with a time server. Not sure if it’s a huge problem – I’m assuming that most user’s clocks would be set properly.

I’ve been thinking about how to do a version that gets the current time from the server – maybe getting the current time initially when the SWF loads then using Flash’s internal timing, getTimer() or something like that. Getting the current time from the server every second wouldn’t work very well I don’t think.

Hi. this is exactly what we need for our website.

Would it be possible to hide the countdown setting fields, including the stop and go buttons from the scene?

what we need is a coming soon countdown for 2009. and we want the clock to start counting without clicking the “Go” button.

Please let me know.

Thank you so much,

Damn! After downloading this… wow! I’m so confused. I just want the SWF file after I change the coordinates, because I have to overlay it over a graphic and then export the SWF . This XML stuff is confusing.

skoolbus: Check out the readme file included in the ZIP file – it explains what changing each variable in the XML file will do.

If I change date and time settings of my PC the countdown shows wrong time. You should base it to web server.

Bought between 1 and 9 items

how do you change the dimensions of the timer? like i want to make it at least the size of the one at the top of this page

decaturdan: you can accomplish this by adjusting the width and height when embedding the SWF . Check out the ‘index.html’ file – it uses SWFObject v2.0 to embed the SWF . On line 29, the 3rd and 4th arguments are the width and height of the SWF :

swfobject.embedSWF("countdown_flip_4days.swf", "flashcontent", "388", "74", "8.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);

If you change that to:

swfobject.embedSWF("countdown_flip_4days.swf", "flashcontent", "776", "148", "8.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);

…it should scale up the SWF to double its original size.

You could also edit the FLA and scale up or down the ‘countdown_flip_mc’ MovieClip on the main timeline. But with the other way, you won’t need to open Flash.

Hi.

Great file!

Is there any way I can remove the bottom bar from the timer?

I know I can reduce the alpha of the days, hours etc….but I would also like to totaly reove the bottom grey bar. Is this possible?

Thanks for your time in advance.

ADH : I think what you might have to do is edit the FLA in Flash and make the stage size 54 pixels high instead of 74 then re-publish the SWF – this should crop out the text area and text fields.
