[AS3] Countdown Clock for Game Over Screen

[vnvlotus]

Hello. I am currently in a Flash game programming class and can't seem to find a clock anywhere that counts down and then does an action. I've been using Lynda tutorials and that hasn't been helpful and I have also Google searched quite a bit, but no luck. I have a Countdown clock and have been try "if" statements, but no luck.

Can someone guide me in the right direction on what I am doing wrong?

// game timer

var count:Number = 60; // amount of time
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,count); // time in ms, count is calling from line above

myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);

myTimer.start();

function countdown(event:TimerEvent):void {
    myText_txt.text = String((count)-myTimer.currentCount); //dynamic txt box shows current count
}

//if and else if statements
if (((count)-myTimer.currentCount) == 58) {
    gotoAndStop(2);
}

Thank you!

Put your if statement inside your function.

Woah! Thanks! I also found the TIMER_COMPLETE object thing. Both work great!
