Countdown

This tutorial will teach you how to make a countdown clock to the time you specify. It's all in the actionscript code. It will only take two frames at that. First, create a new movie. Inside this movie, create one text field and set it to dynamic text. Since we are, in this tutorial, going to countdown to 12am (midnight) then we will use a variable of timetil12. Here is what it should look like:

Now that you have a text field, create one more layer. Label this layer as Actions. Make sure the whole movie is only two frames. The action layer should be two keyframes. Open the actions window and click on the first keyframe of the Actions layer.
