This is the code to put on the first keyframe:

myDate = new Date();
seconds = myDate.getSeconds();
minutes = myDate.getMinutes();
hours = myDate.getHours();
seconds2 = 59-seconds;
minutes2 = 59-minutes;
hours2 = 23-hours;
if (length(minutes2) == 1) {
minutes2 = "0" + minutes2;
}
if (length(seconds2) == 1) {
seconds2 = "0" + seconds2;
}
timetil12 = (hours2+":"+minutes2+":"+seconds2+" left until 12AM");

The only code needed in the second keyframe is to make sure that the movie will loop:

gotoAndPlay (1);

Now you're done. The clock will countdown the time to 12am. The code in the first keyframe is simply midnight, minus one second. You can countdown to any time in the same manner, just subtract one second from the military time, and implement that time into the script.
