Re: FLASH: newbie time Question

[Olga]

Also, for the countdown, look into the GetTimer function... in counts down

in milliseconds from when the movie is launched.  You can manipulate that

value to subtract a minute from your time every minute...



Set Variable "timeDifference" = GetTimer

Set Variable "timeCurrent" = int((GetTimer - timeDifference)/60000)

>>--accounts for difference between countdown launch and

begining  of movie, turns the value into minutes<<

Set Variable "time" = 1100 - timeCurrent

>>subtracts time each minute from given time.



For sorting, look into substring functions within flash...
