But can the user actually enter a time to countdown from?

With Flash 4 and the new Get Timer function making a countdown animation

is easy.


With Flash 3 you can use movie clips to make a timer. If you use

JavaScript and FSCommand you can make it highly accurate.

You can adapter my timer (part 1) an or clock(part 20 to make a timer.
