Help me about AS3 code of 24 hour countdown timer.

[glay004]

Hi,

I'm a beginner at flash.

i  just wanna ask about making 24hours countdown clock.

what i want is to make it only 24hour countdown clock and when it reaches the time it will start again.(every day)

and The start time is 2 o'clok(2 pm) every single day.(for the pacific time)

and I found this code from (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4116774 )

It's similar with what i want but even I tried, I can't change for mind...

and I want using hundredths too.

so here is the code.

Please help me,Thank you.

-----------------------------------------------

var endDate:Date = new Date(new Date().getTime()+24*60*60*1000);

var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);

countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);

countdownTimer.start();

function updateTime(e:TimerEvent):void

{

          var now:Date = new Date();

if(now.getTime()>endDate.getTime()){

     time_txt.text = "00:00:00";

countdownTimer.stop();

return

}

          var timeLeft:Number = endDate.getTime() - now.getTime();

          var hundredth:Number = Math.floor(timeLeft / 10);

          var seconds:Number = Math.floor(hundredth / 1000);

          var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds / 60);

          var hours:Number = Math.floor(minutes / 60);

          seconds %= 60;

          minutes %= 60;

          var fs:String = hundredth.toString();

          var sec:String = seconds.toString();

          var min:String = minutes.toString();

          var hrs:String = hours.toString();

          if (fs.length < 2) {

                    sec = "0" + fs;

          }

          if (sec.length < 2) {

                    sec = "0" + sec;

          }

          if (min.length < 2) {

                    min = "0" + min;

          }

          if (hrs.length < 2) {

                    hrs = "0" + hrs;

          }

          var time:String = hrs + ":" + min + ":" + sec;

          time_txt.text = time;

}

if you want endDate to be today at 2pm, among other ways to do this, you can use:

var endDate:Date = new Date();

endDate.setHours(14);

endDate.setMinutes(0);

endDate.setSeconds(0);

wow. Thank U so much......

and can I ask one more thing?

How can I insert hundredth?

I wanna do like this

start_time = getTimer();

countdown = 7200000;

onEnterFrame = function () {

    elapsed_time = getTimer()-start_time;

    _root.count_down.text = time_to_string(_root.countdown-elapsed_time);

};

function time_to_string(time_to_convert) {

    elapsed_hours = Math.floor(time_to_convert/3600000);

    remaining = time_to_convert-(elapsed_hours*3600000);

    elapsed_minutes = Math.floor(remaining/60000);

    remaining = remaining-(elapsed_minutes*60000);

    elapsed_seconds = Math.floor(remaining/1000);

    remaining = remaining-(elapsed_seconds*1000);

    elapsed_fs = Math.floor(remaining/10);

    if (elapsed_hours<10) {

        hours = "0"+elapsed_hours.toString();

    } else {

        hours = elapsed_hours.toString();

    }

    if (elapsed_minutes<10) {

        minutes = "0"+elapsed_minutes.toString();

    } else {

        minutes = elapsed_minutes.toString();

    }

    if (elapsed_seconds<10) {

        seconds = "0"+elapsed_seconds.toString();

    } else {

        seconds = elapsed_seconds.toString();

    }

    if (elapsed_fs<10) {

        hundredths = "0"+elapsed_fs.toString();

    } else {

        hundredths = elapsed_fs.toString();

    }

    return hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+":"+hundredths;

}

you can use:

function updateTime(e:TimerEvent):void{

        var now:Date = new Date();

        if(now.getTime()>endDate.getTime()){

            time_txt.text = "00:00:00";

            countdownTimer.stop();

            return

        }

        var timeLeft:Number = endDate.getTime() - now.getTime();

        var hrs:int = Math.floor(timeLeft/(1000*60*60));

        var min:int = (Math.floor(timeLeft/(1000*60) - hrs*60));

        var sec:int = Math.floor(timeLeft/1000-hrs*60*60-min*60)%60;

        var hun:int = Math.floor(timeLeft/10-hrs*100*60*60-min*100*60-sec*100);

          var time:String = padF(hrs.toString()) + ":" + padF(min.toString())+ ":" + padF(sec.toString())+":"+padF(hun.toString());

          time_txt.text = time;

}

function padF(s:String):String{

    while(s.length<2){

        s="0"+s;

    }

    return s

}

Thank U , and so sorry I have problem.,..

It Just stop and It was not start again..........What should I do?

because I wanna auto play every single day.

It should be end at 2pm,and then the countdown starts again for next day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

var endDate:Date = new Date();

endDate.setHours(14);

endDate.setMinutes(0);

endDate.setSeconds(0);

endDate.setMilliseconds(0);

var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(10);

countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);

countdownTimer.start();

function updateTime(e:TimerEvent):void

{

          var now:Date = new Date();

          if(now.getTime()>endDate.getTime()){

          time_txt.text = "00:00:00:00";

          countdownTimer.stop();

          return

          }

          var timeLeft:Number = endDate.getTime() - now.getTime();

          var milliseconds:Number = Math.floor(timeLeft /10);

          var seconds:Number = Math.floor(milliseconds / 100);

          var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds / 60);

          var hours:Number = Math.floor(minutes / 60);

          milliseconds %= 100;

          seconds %= 60;

          minutes %= 60;

          var mil:String = milliseconds.toString();

          var sec:String = seconds.toString();

          var min:String = minutes.toString();

          var hrs:String = hours.toString();

          if (mil.length < 2) {

                    mil = "0" + mil;

          }

          if (sec.length < 2) {

                    sec = "0" + sec;

          }

          if (min.length < 2) {

                    min = "0" + min;

          }

          if (hrs.length < 2) {

                    hrs = "0" + hrs;

          }

          var time:String = hrs + ":" + min + ":" + sec + ":" + mil;

          time_txt.text = time;

}

that's from your part of the code:

   if(now.getTime()>endDate.getTime()){

            time_txt.text = "00:00:00";

            countdownTimer.stop();

            return

        }

if you don't want to stop the countdown after 2pm, change endDate to the next day in that if-statement:

   if(now.getTime()>endDate.getTime()){

endDate = new Date(endDate.getTime()+24*60*60*1000);

        }

Try code below - it is much less verbose, takes less calculations and I think meets your other requirements except for pacific time:

stop();
var endDate:Date;
var countdownTimer:Timer;
init();
function init():void
{
          initEndDate();
          countdownTimer = new Timer(50);
          countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);
          countdownTimer.start();
}
function initEndDate():void
{
          endDate = new Date();
          endDate.setDate(endDate.getUTCDate() + 1);
          endDate.setHours(14);
          endDate.setMinutes(0);
          endDate.setSeconds(0);
          endDate.setMilliseconds(0);
}
function updateTime(e:TimerEvent):void
{
          var now:Date = new Date();
          now = new Date(endDate.time - now.time);
          if (now.time <= 0) {
                    initEndDate();
                    return;
          }
          time_txt.text = now.toUTCString().match(/(\d+:)+\d+/g) + ":" + String((now.millisecondsUTC < 10 ? "0" : "") + now.millisecondsUTC).match(/^\d\d/);
}
