Re: FLASH: countdown timer (hour/min/sec)

[Peggi & Ben Rodgers]

Try:


Set Variable: "timer" = Int (GetTimer/1000)

Set Variable: "new" = timer-../:buttonVariable

Set Variable: "down" = 10-new        //here is where you set your initial value

Set Variable: "../:textbox" = down & " any message you want here"

If (down<0)

       Set Variable: "../:textbox" = "Press the button to restart."

End If


Your button should have:


On (Press)

       Set Variable: "buttonVariable" = /countdown:timer

End On
