Hi Michael,

Many of the days til and time until JavaScript scripts on the web are
incorrect.
The script below works correctly (if the local clock is correct).
If for Flash 3 you can use a simplified version of my clock.
http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/Scripting/Index.htm

If for Flash 4 you can use Load variables or send the variable on the
SWF's URL with a server side script or JavaScript document.write of the
URL.

This and another accurate Time until script will be used in a upcoming
tutorial at the Bible but it wiill be a couple of weeks before i get to
it.

<HTML>
<Title> Flash Bible - Days Left</Title>
<SCRIPT>
var now = new Date();
var msPerDay = (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
var targetDate = new Date("December 25, 1999");
var daysLeft = Math.ceil((targetDate.getTime()-now.getTime()) /
msPerDay);
document.write ("Days Left = " + daysLeft + "<P>");
if (daysLeft > 1)
document.write ("Only " + daysLeft + " days left!");
else if (daysLeft == 1)
document.write ("Only one day left!!");
else if (daysLeft == 0)
document.write ("Today is the day!!!");
else
document.write ("Sorry! Too late!");
</SCRIPT>
</HTML>
