Creating a countdown to the marathon in Flash

During reading week I looked for tutorials online on how to create a countdown timer in flash. I came across this site http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/video/countdown.php

which was easy to follow. So I followed this tutorial then created a countdown for the London Marathon in flash. Below is the code I added in the Actions layer in Action Script:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

var today:Date = new Date();

var currentYear = today.getFullYear();

var currentTime = today.getTime();

var targetDate:Date = new Date(currentYear,3,19);

var targetTime = targetDate.getTime();

var timeLeft = targetTime - currentTime;

var sec = Math.floor(timeLeft/1000);

var min = Math.floor(sec/60);

var hrs = Math.floor(min/60);

var days = Math.floor(hrs/24);

sec = string(sec % 60);

if (sec.length <>

sec = "0" + sec;

}

min = string(min % 60);

if (min.length <>

min = "0" + min;

}

hrs = string(hrs % 24);

if (hrs.length <>

hrs = "0" + hrs;

}

days = string(days);

var counter:String = days + ":" + hrs + ":" + min + ":" + sec;

time_txt.text = counter;

}

This is what the finished countdown timer I created looks like below. I added the Official London Marathon Logo and text countdown to the marathon apart from that everything else was done by following the tutorial.
