Easy and intuitive CountDown Timer (minutes and seconds) to plan any activity for a maximum of 99 minutes. Programmed in Actionscript 3. Enjoy the sounds! If you are interested, I can also post the code, which could be used for beginners. Countdown timer: howto? Good day, I have download the coutdown.swf file found in the Adobe Connect extensions. Now the silly question: how do you use it? Hi i'm pretty new to flash but i'm trying to make a countdown timer. The timer should start at 30 minutes and 0 seconds and countdown to 0 when it reaches 0 id like it to then start counting back up. I'd be very thankful for any help you can give me. Re: Countdown Timer and Randomizer for Adobe Connect 11 Not sure if this will help, but I would download the ZIP again from the apps page (apps.adobeconnect.com). Try uploading them to your content library, then choosing to share a Document from your room and navigating to the content library to see if that makes any difference. If anyone is looking for a countdown timer, I've just posted a new one to the Adobe Exchange. The flash timer runs in your Connect meeting to let participants know when the meeting is about to begin or resume. The host of the meeting can customize the text displayed to the user and easily set the time by using a slider or by simply typing it in.

start() method to start a timer. Add an event listener for the timer
event to set up code to be run on the timer interval. You can create Timer objects to run once or repeat at specified intervals to execute code on a schedule. Depending on the SWF file's framerate or the runtime environment (available memory and other factors), the runtime may dispatch events at slightly offset intervals. For example, if a SWF file is set to play at 10 frames per second (fps), which is 100 millisecond intervals, but your timer is set to fire an event at 80 milliseconds, the event will be dispatched close to the 100 millisecond interval. Memory-intensive scripts may also offset the events.

currentCount | property |
currentCount:int [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
The total number of times the timer has fired since it started at zero. If the timer has been reset, only the fires since the reset are counted.
Implementation
public function get currentCount():intdelay | property |
delay:Number| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
The delay, in milliseconds, between timer events. If you set the delay interval while the timer is running, the timer will restart at the same repeatCount iteration.
Note: A delay lower than 20 milliseconds is not recommended. Timer frequency is limited to 60 frames per second, meaning a delay lower than 16.6 milliseconds causes runtime problems.
Implementation
public function get delay():Number public function set delay(value:Number):voidThrows
Error — Throws an exception if the delay specified is negative or not a finite number. |
repeatCount | property |
repeatCount:int| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
The total number of times the timer is set to run. If the repeat count is set to 0, the timer continues indefinitely, up to a maximum of 24.86 days, or until the stop() method is invoked or the program stops. If the repeat count is nonzero, the timer runs the specified number of times. If repeatCount is set to a total that is the same or less then currentCount the timer stops and will not fire again.
Implementation
public function get repeatCount():int public function set repeatCount(value:int):voidrunning | property |
running:Boolean [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
The timer's current state; true if the timer is running, otherwise false.
Implementation
public function get running():BooleanTimer | () | Constructor |
public function Timer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0)| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Constructs a new Timer object with the specified delay and repeatCount states.
The timer does not start automatically; you must call the start() method to start it.
delay:Number — The delay between timer events, in milliseconds. A delay lower than 20 milliseconds is not recommended. Timer frequency is limited to 60 frames per second, meaning a delay lower than 16.6 milliseconds causes runtime problems. |
repeatCount:int (default = 0) — Specifies the number of repetitions. If zero, the timer repeats indefinitely, up to a maximum of 24.86 days (int.MAX_VALUE + 1). If nonzero, the timer runs the specified number of times and then stops. |
Throws
Error — if the delay specified is negative or not a finite number |
Example ( How to use this example )
In the following example, the user is given 90 seconds to enter a response in an input text field. Also, every 30 seconds, a status message lets the user know how many seconds are left.
A Timer object is created that starts in 30 seconds (delay is set to 30000 milliseconds) and repeats three times, for a total of 90 seconds. (The timer stops after the third time.)
Two event listeners are added for the myTimer timer. The first is triggered by the TimerEvent.TIMER event, which occurs every time the timer is started. The timerHandler() method changes the text for the statusTextField text field to reflect the seconds remaining.
Note: The Timer class keeps track of the number of times it has to start (repeats) by increasing the number in the currentCount property.)
After the timer is called for the last time, the TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE event is dispatched and the completeHandler() method is called. The completeHandler() method changes the type of the inputTextField text field from INPUT to DYNAMIC, which means the user can no longer enter or change text.
reset | () | method |
public function reset():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Stops the timer, if it is running, and sets the currentCount property back to 0, like the reset button of a stopwatch. Then, when start() is called, the timer instance runs for the specified number of repetitions, as set by the repeatCount value.

stop | () | method |
public function stop():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Stops the timer. When start() is called after stop(), the timer instance runs for the remaining number of repetitions, as set by the repeatCount property.

Countdown timer: howto ?
Countdown Timer In Adobe Connect
Good day,
I have download the coutdown.swf file found in the Adobe Connect extensions.
Now the silly question: how do you use it ?
Is it possible for a hosted account (not a 'home install' of Connect) ?
Thanks in advance for help

Re: Countdown timer: howto ?
Is that the Loungepod timer? (I forget the file name because I have two of them I downloaded a long time ago)
What I did is, once uploaded I moved it to the Shared Content folder. Then in a meeting, you click Pods>Share>Add New share. The click Share my document and select the Shared Content and then the file. In the Loungepod timer there is a settings button.
