I trouble with the day of week showing as a 2 digit number it should show in this format 01/01/2019 but its showing 01/1/2019

any suggestions what I did wrong

import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;

var looper:Timer = new Timer(100);
looper.start();
looper.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, loopf);

function loopf(event:TimerEvent):void{
var time:Date = new Date();
var month:Number = time.getMonth()+1;
var day:Number = time.getDate();
var year:Number = time.getFullYear();

if (month < 10){
date_txt.text = "0" + month + "/" + day + "/" + year;
} else{
date_txt.text = month + "/" + day + "/" + year;

if (day < 10){
date_txt.text = month + "/" + "0" + day + "/" + year;
} else{
date_txt.text = month + "/" + day + "/" + year;

}

//date_txt.text = month + "/" + day + "/" + year;
}
}

Correct answer kdmemory

I have to correct myself. This is Actionscript 3, hence strict data typing:

import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var looper: Timer = new Timer(100);
looper.start();
looper.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, loopf);
function loopf(event: TimerEvent): void {
    var time: Date = new Date();
    var month: Number = time.getMonth() + 1;
    var day: Number = time.getDate();
    var year: Number = time.getFullYear();
    var monthStrg:String; 
    var dayStrg:String;
    if (month < 10) {
        monthStrg = "0" + month + "/";
    } else {
        monthStrg = month + "/"
    }
    if (day < 10) {
        dayStrg = "0" + day + "/";
    } else {
        dayStrg = day + "/";
    }
    
    date_txt.text = monthStrg + dayStrg + year;
}

The previous one worked, but this is following the RULEZ.

"... once I put into a game like second life only the person pressing start will actually see the time countdown"

C:\Users\steel\Videos\Auction Timer\New folder (3)\timerClass.as, Line 1 5007: An ActionScript file must have at least one externally visible definition.

am I naming the class or should I just use actions for this

HI daggerzEdge

Try it this way:

import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var looper: Timer = new Timer(100);
looper.start();
looper.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, loopf);
function loopf(event: TimerEvent): void {
    var time: Date = new Date();
    var month: Number = time.getMonth() + 1;
    var day: Number = time.getDate();
    var year: Number = time.getFullYear();
    var monthStrg, dayStrg;
    if (month < 10) {
        monthStrg = "0" + month + "/";
    } else {
        monthStrg = month + "/"
    }
    if (day < 10) {
        dayStrg = "0" + day + "/";
    } else {
        dayStrg = day + "/";
    }
    
    date_txt.text = monthStrg + dayStrg + year;
}
