showing my noobness

[Belaflek]

My plan is simple. To make a timer that counts down from the present moment in time to May the 15th (New Rush album release). I made 2 dyn text boxes called one 'today' and the other 'remaining'

today = Date.getDate ();

so for right now all Ill ask is this...why does the date not show up in the text box...I know its something incredibly simple but Im only just starting. Ive searched for countdown....timer...clock...gone to flashkit.com..looked in the movie section...gone thru 2 books but its escaping me...sorry for the stupid question but im somewhat frustrated

Try something liek this -


now = new Date();
today = now.getDate () + " - " + now.getMonth () + " - " + now.getFullYear ();
