CAN THE CLOCK AND THE COUNTDOWN TIMER BE SET TO COUNT OFF SAME TIMER SO BEAT COUNT IS THE SAME I NEED THETIME AND COUNTDOWN TO MATCH SECOND FOR SECOND


import flash.utils.Timer; 
import flash.events.TimerEvent; 
 
var looper: Timer = new Timer(100);
timerTxt.text = ("05:00");
looper.start(); 
looper.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, loopF);

i--;


function loopF(event:TimerEvent):void{
var time: Date = new Date();

//time variables

var hours:* = time.getHours(); 
var minutes:* = time.getMinutes(); 
var seconds:* = time.getSeconds(); 
var hourStrg:String;  
var minuteStrg:String;
var secondStrg:String;

//date variables
  
var month: Number = time.getMonth() + 1; 
var day: Number = time.getDate(); 
var year: Number = time.getFullYear(); 
var monthStrg:String;  
var dayStrg:String;

   //date text
  
if (month < 10) { 
monthStrg = "0" + month + "/"; 
} else { 
monthStrg = month + "/"
}
if (day < 10) { 
dayStrg = "0" + day + "/"; 
} else { 
dayStrg = day + "/";
}
   //time text
  
if(String(seconds).length < 2){
seconds = "0" + seconds;
}
if(String(minutes).length < 2){
minutes = "0" + minutes;
}
if(hours > 11){
ampm_txt.text = "PM";
} else {
ampm_txt.text = "AM";
}
if(hours > 12){
hours = hours - 12;
}
if (String(hours).length < 2){
hours = "0" + hours;
}
time_txt.text = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
date_txt.text = monthStrg + dayStrg + year;
timerTxt.text = minutes + ":" + seconds
}

any ideas on making this work as real time timer

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 300);
var i:Number = 300;
   // constructor code
timerTxt.text = String("05:00");
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, TimerComplete);
startbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StartNow);
pausebutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, PauseNow);
restartbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, restartNow);
function updateTime(e:TimerEvent){
i--;
var totalSeconds:* = i;
var minutes:* = Math.floor(totalSeconds/60);
var seconds:* = totalSeconds % 60;
if(String(minutes).length < 2)
minutes = "0" + minutes;
if(String(seconds).length < 2)
seconds = "0" + seconds;
timerTxt.text = minutes + ":" + seconds;
  }
function TimerComplete(e:TimerEvent){
messageTxt.text = "PRESENTATION IS NOW OVER"
timerTxt.text = String("00:00");
}
function StartNow(e:MouseEvent){
myTimer.start();
}
function PauseNow(e:MouseEvent){
myTimer.stop();
}
function restartNow(e: MouseEvent): void 
{ 
myTimer.stop(); 
myTimer = new Timer(1000); 
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime); 
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, TimerComplete); 
i =300;
messageTxt.text = "" 
timerTxt.text = String("05:00"); 
}

It can be done. In short, I have an ActionScript3 digital and analog clock running in parallel. I will post code, but at the moment I'm disabled. My computer with the Creative Cloud account to open Animate is unplugged, because I'm installing a Windows update which may take several hours on a second drive on the machine.

Note, my code might be slightly different to yours. I can't see from here. But the clocks play in sync.

Code for two clocks that run continuously.

To do a countdown instead of a clock, you need to set a zero-hour. A given number of seconds or milliseconds after the animation started, or an exact day and time, like April 4 at 16:00:00. If an exact time, you can use an online UTC calculator to return the UTC for April 4th, 16:00:00. Or use the formula for getting the number of milliseconds in ActionScript:

iDate = new Date();

Date.UTC(2019,04-1,04,16,0,0,0)-iDate.getTime();

The number of months is one less, because January is month 0. Milliseconds can be converted into a countdown format. Just subtract a second each tick.

// initiatize
var newsecond;
var newnewsecond;
var firstmoment;
var iDate;
var realmins;
var realsecs;
var newsecs;
var realmsecs;
var newhours;
var newminutes;
var formatdigits;
var seconds;
var newseconds;
var minutes;
var hours;
var checkdiff;

// in seconds
newsecond = 1;
// in milliseconds
newnewsecond = 1000;
// mc start
firstmoment = getTimer();
// Date object
iDate = new Date();
// 12-hour minutes since 12:00:00.000 AM
realmins = iDate.getHours()*60 + iDate.getMinutes();
// 12-hour seconds since 12:00:00.000 AM
realsecs = realmins*60 + iDate.getSeconds();
// 12-hour milliseconds since 12:00:00.000 AM
realmsecs = realsecs*1000 + iDate.getMilliseconds();
// new-seconds since 12:00:00.000 AM
newsecs = realmsecs * 1/1000;
// new-hours since 12:00:00.000 AM
newhours = newsecs / 3600;
// new-minutes since last new-hour
newminutes = newsecs%3600 / 60;
// new-seconds since last new-minute
newseconds = newsecs%3600%60 / 12*12;

// function
formatdigits = function() {
if (seconds>=60) {
  seconds = seconds - 60;
  minutes++;
  if (minutes>=60) {
   minutes =  minutes - 60;
   hours++;
  }
}
if (hours==0) {
  hours = 12;
}
if (hours>12) {
  hours = hours - 12;
}
if (seconds.toString().length==1) {
  seconds = "0" + seconds;
}
if (minutes.toString().length==1) {
  minutes = "0" + minutes;
}
if (hours.toString().length==1) {
  hours = "0" + hours;
}
// digital time
MovieClip(root).at.digital.led.text = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
}

// pre-set digital clock
seconds = Math.round(newseconds);
minutes = Math.floor(newminutes);
hours = Math.floor(newhours);
formatdigits();
// pre-set clock Hands and shadows
secondhand.rotation = seconds * 360/60;
secondhandshadow.rotation = secondhand.rotation;
minutehand.rotation = newminutes * 360/60;
minutehandshadow.rotation = minutehand.rotation;
hourhand.rotation =  newhours * 360/12;
hourhandshadow.rotation = hourhand.rotation;
// enter frame function
root.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ticking);
function ticking(e:Event):void {
// elapsed time
checkdiff = getTimer() - firstmoment;
// update the time every new-second
if (checkdiff - (Math.round(newnewsecond)) > 0) {
  // rotate clock Hands and shadows
  secondhand.rotation = secondhand.rotation + (360/60);
  secondhandshadow.rotation = secondhand.rotation;
  minutehand.rotation = minutehand.rotation + (0.1);
  minutehandshadow.rotation = minutehand.rotation;
  hourhand.rotation = hourhand.rotation + (360/60) / 720;
  hourhandshadow.rotation = hourhand.rotation;
  // increment digital values
  seconds++;
  formatdigits();
  // new-second counter
  newnewsecond = newnewsecond + newsecond*1000;
}
}
