sure, you can put in an html file and then set that as your desktop.

Here is a link to the flash movie in a zip file. just download it and unzip. When you click on the file you should be able to view it anytime.

since i recently reformat my copm, i needed to reinstal flash, now it says that i can not open this file, it is an .swf, which is totally new to me
sorry, i appreciate your effort

They would still need the .swt file that contains the actual body of the flash program. The .swf is just like the viewer

I may be wrong on that. Been awhile since I played with flash

Re: Countdown timer untill ship date??!?
 

its still not working, once i open the file, it says windows can not open the file, because it does not know where it was made?? then it brings up this page http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0...ir.asp?Ext=swf I downloaded flash, and its still not working... any other suggestions for someone who has no clue what they are doing?

Love the flash timer! I think the next step will have to be 3D! I guess that's just one more projecet (along with Dashboard3D) that Tri5 Software and 555 will have to tackle ASAP!! :D I think I'll start working on it now!

how do I put the html on my desktop

Re: Countdown timer untill ship date??!?
 

I just found something I did wrong with the timer. I used the same one for a countdown to kickoff and I forgot to change the message at the end! I replaced the file in my post above with a fixed copy. Sorry about that guys.

Re: Countdown timer untill ship date??!?
 

I updated the countdown time for the new ship date. Enjoy.

here's some basic java that we use on our site


<SCRIPT>
//change your event date event here.
var eventdate = new Date("Feb 26, 2004 12:00:00 PST");

function toSt(n)
{s=""
if(n<10) s+="0"
return s+n.toString();
}

function countdown()
{cl=document.clock;
d=new Date();
count=Math.floor((eventdate.getTime()-d.getTime())/1000);
if(count<=0)
{cl.days.value ="----";
cl.hours.value="--";
cl.mins.value="--";
cl.secs.value="--";
return;
}
cl.secs.value=toSt(count%60);
count=Math.floor(count/60);
cl.mins.value=toSt(count%60);
count=Math.floor(count/60);
cl.hours.value=toSt(count%24);
count=Math.floor(count/24);
cl.days.value=count;

setTimeout("countdown()",500);
}
// end script -->
</SCRIPT>

i wrote a countdown timer in vb6 a while back, you can set it to count down to any day and time... i can send it to you if you want... email me... whodoyacallit@hotmail.com it sits happily centered at the top edge of your screen, dates farther than a month away arent perfect, but i'm close... you can even have it tell you what you're counting down to (in case you forget) HA!
