Need help creating Countdown Timer Stop

Report · Apr 02, 2015

Here is the code that I have so far, I need to create a stop for the timer so that it stops when the timer reaches 00:00. As it stands, the timer hits 00:00 then goes straight to 0-1:59. I'm lost on how to get it to stop, any help or feedback is greatly appreciated.

package

{

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.events.TimerEvent;

import flash.text.TextFormat;

import flash.text.TextField;

import flash.utils.Timer;

import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;

public class Main extends Sprite

{

public var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);

public var txtClock:TextField = new TextField();

public var min:int = 0;

public var sec:int = 05;

public var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

public function Main()

{

if (stage) init();

else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

timer.start();

timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeClock);

txtClock.x = 100;

txtClock.y = 20;

addChild(txtClock);

txtClock.defaultTextFormat = txtFormat;

txtFormat.bold = true;

txtFormat.size = 18;

txtFormat.font = "Arial Black";

txtFormat.color = 0xFF0000;

txtFormat.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;

}

private function init(e:Event = null):void

{

removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

}

private function changeClock(e:TimerEvent):void

{

var formatSec:String;

var formatMin:String;

sec -= 1;

if (sec == 0)

{

min -= 1;

sec = 59;

}

if (sec < 10)

{

formatSec = "0" + String(sec);

}

else

{

formatSec = String(sec);

}

if (min < 10)

{

formatMin = "0" + String(min);

}

else

{

formatMin = String(min);

}

txtClock.text = String(formatMin + " : " + formatSec);

txtClock.border = true;

txtClock.width = 200;

txtClock.height = 30;

txtClock.borderColor = 0x0000FF;

txtClock.setTextFormat(txtFormat);

}

After you write to the textfield you can check to see if the text it contains == "00:00" and if so stop the timer
