Countdown timer bug...

When I set a time duration, say 13 minutes, and hit start, the timer will countdown from 1 minute. I cancel it and repeat; 1 minute. Only by cancelling, changing the duration from say 13 minutes, to 14 and back to 13 does the timer start from 13 minutes.
This is the factory timer app in the clock section.
Anyone else?

Hi Integr8d, I appreciate you posting this. I finally got fed up enough to see if there was a thread on this issue.
I set a lot a of timers throughout the day, and this happens to me at least once every day. I choose a time increment, press "start" and the countdown screen appears with 1 minute counting down. It does this when I choose minute increments or hour increments. It sometimes takes up to three attempts to get it to display my desired countdown time.
Sometimes when this has happened, I have noticed in the blink of an eye between choosing my time and when the countdown display appears that the time increment read, for example, "8 min" instead of "8 mins." The countdown appears with 1 minute, I cancel and toggle the wheel up or down one increment, then back to 8, and I can see the "s" appear next to the word "min." Now when I set my timer, I listen for the audible "click" sound, and make sure it reads "mins" next to my time, not "min." But even then, it doesn't always work.
If I try to set the Apple timer to 0 hours and 0 minutes, it pops to the default time of 1 minute. It seems to me that the problem is happening because the timer app is not recognizing the input of the timer wheel, and is giving back the default time of 1 minute.
This started happening to my 3GS after iOS5 installation, and has continued despite updates. It is one of several regular bugs I have been experiencing since installing iOS5. Various resets to attempt to fix another bug have not improved this bug. I am reporting this as a bug here http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
and I encourage you to do the same, so that Apple becomes aware of this issue.

IOS 6 bug - countdown timer

I just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and found a strange bug: when setting the system time format to 12-hour time, then open Clock - Timer, if I set the timer's countdown duration longer then 1 hour, after starting, the timer displays the countdown time in a very strange style (see the attached screenshot). But after setting the system time format back to 24-hour time, this timer's dislay problem disappeared. Really weird bug.

I too have this on my iPhone 4S, I am in the UK, and I like to have the 12 hour setting for my time, but when this is the case I get the same strange problem as QQ as shown, ALSO... I believe if I run the Stopwatch and it goes over an hour then the display goes strange in the same way. Apple feel free to contact me, so I can help you resolve this for iOS 6.0.x.
Thanks
Daniel

Countdown timer on E51

Hey!
Is there no countdown timer on S60? I'm used to being able to type in some numbers then press options and choose countdown timer with my S40-mobile, why not on S60?
Regards!

Yes, I've actually gone back to S40 phone - 6610i - from my S60 phone - E51, for lack of these basic features, and other S60 bugs (bad call logs, no birthday alarms etc.)
It's pretty funny that I recenlty switched from a 4year old 6610i to E51 and countdown timer was the first shortage i encountered

Best way to implement a countdown timer for a turn based LCCS game

Hello,
I am trying to build a turn based game and sketching out the high level map, so I can focus my efforts towards the direction I should be digging.
One thing I have not seen much in the sample apps is how a turn based game is best handled.
For example, a countdown timer. Should it be a shared property? Or a Baton which is supposed to manage workflows and has a timeout property?
Or, should I forget those two, and time this on the server, although if it would become popular keeping track of all the times in the rooms would cost an arm and leg. Would love to hear some best practices on this.

good idea.
Which one or all of them?

How can I make a countdown timer using After Effects

I'd like to make a video that has a timer that counts down one second at a time. I need one starting at 5:00 (five minutes). Is there a way to easily do this in After Effects without having to manually change the text every second?
Thanks.

I'm glad that you found a solution, but I thought that you might appreciate a suggestion of another approach.
Colin Braley provides a tutorial and example project on
his website that show how to use an expression on the Source Text property to animate text to overcome some of the limitations of the Numbers effect.
There's a similar example in the
"Example: Animate text as a timecode display" section of After Effects Help.
Here are some Community Help searches that can lead you to some ideas, too:

Countdown Timer Error Msg: "Warning: 1090: Migration issue"

Hey folks,
New to Flash here (using CS3), trying to create a countdown
timer.
Following is the error message I receive when trying to test
the
movie:
"Warning: 1090: Migration issue: The onEnterFrame is not
triggered
automatically by Flash Player at run time in ActionScript
3.0. You
must first register this handler for the event using
addEventListener
( 'enterFrame', callback_handler).
Does anyone know what this means? And please "dumb it down"
for this newbie. :)
Following is the actionscript I'm using:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
var currentTime = today.getTime();
var targetDate:Date = new Date(2007,5,10);
var targetTime = targetDate.getTime();
var timeLeft = targetTime - currentTime;
var sec = Math.floor(timeLeft/1000);
var min = Math.floor(sec/60);
var hrs = Math.floor(min/60);
var days = Math.floor(hrs/24);
sec = String(sec % 60);
if (sec.length < 2) {
sec = "0" + sec;
min = String(min % 60);
if (min.length < 2) {
min = "0" + min;
hrs = String(hrs % 24);
if (hrs.length < 2) {
hrs = "0" + hrs;
days = String(days);
var counter:String = days + ":" + hrs + ":" + min + ":" +
sec;
time_txt.text = counter;
Thanks in advance!!!

It just means that you can't do things the "old" way. You
have to use the
AS3 event model, like so:
this.addEventListener("enterFrame", enterFrameHandler);
function enterFrameHandler(evt:Event) {
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
var currentTime = today.getTime();
var targetDate:Date = new Date(2007,5,10);
var targetTime = targetDate.getTime();
var timeLeft = targetTime - currentTime;
var sec = Math.floor(timeLeft/1000);
var min = Math.floor(sec/60);
var hrs = Math.floor(min/60);
var days = Math.floor(hrs/24);
sec = String(sec % 60);
if (sec.length < 2) {
sec = "0" + sec;
min = String(min % 60);
if (min.length < 2) {
min = "0" + min;
hrs = String(hrs % 24);
if (hrs.length < 2) {
hrs = "0" + hrs;
days = String(days);
var counter:String = days + ":" + hrs + ":" + min + ":" +
sec;
time_txt.text = counter;

Javascript countdown timer not working in Safari

Years ago I copied a Javascript for a countdown timer and it has been working on my website ever since in both Safari and Firefox. I have been working on updating my site and suddenly it stopped working in Safari, but still works in Firefox. Obviously, I'd like it to work in everyone's browser if possible. I've created a page which only has the countdown timer on it. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get it to work in Safari?
The test page where you can see this is: http://hyperflite.com/countdowntest.html
TIA

Hi,
Is there any reason for the numerous body tags in there?
<pre><body onload="doCountdown();">
<body>
<body ... >
</pre>
I don't have Safari here to test with, but I wouldn't have thought they were helping matters

5 minute countdown timer with 3d extrusion for AE CC 5:00

dear AE Family,
Total Newbie here looking to make a 3d countdown timer in after effects CC. I know how to use the effect to make the standard timer. But I want to make the
3d extrusion 5:00 which looks much better. My CC came with cinema 4d lite but cant seem to put them together.
PS I really need it to look like 5:00 4:59, to 0:00 . 3d extrusion.
Thanks in advance, much appreciated.

Have you gone though Getting Started with After Effects?
Have you seen the Basic Workflow series?
Be aware that if you want extruded text with Ray-traced rendering you are going to be in for long render times even with a compatible Cuda card installed and extremely long render times without one.
The easiest way to make a countdown timer that will work with extruded text is to Google Countdown Timer After Effects and then look for expressions. You will find this popular universal timer expression from Dan Ebberts: Dan Ebberts's Expressioneering Design Guide
Get that far and get back to us with your problems.
BTW, there are other ways to mimic 3D extrusions and simple layer effects like Bevel and Emboss or the effect Bevel Alpha that may meet your design idea.

How can I create an animated countdown timer?

Is there a way to create an animated countdown timer in Adobe Fireworks (animated gif)?
Thank you

In the Edit workspace, place the images you want to appear in each frame of the animation on separate layers of the Layers panel. For example, to create an animation of an eye blinking, you would place an image of the open eye on one layer, and an image of the closed eye on another layer.
Choose File > Save for Web.Note: If your image has multiple layers, you can also open the Save For Web dialog box from the Save As dialog box by choosing CompuServe GIF Format and selecting Layers As Frames.
Optimize the image in GIF format.
Select Animate.
Set additional options in the Animation section of the dialog box:
Loop Continuously repeats the animation in a web browser.
Frame Delay Specifies the number of seconds that each frame is displayed in a web browser. Use a decimal value to specify fractions of a second. For example, use .5 to specify half a second.

How do i add a countdown timer in as3 that starts when the program begins?

I also want it to remove everything that is on the stage when it reaches 0 and produce a Game Over screen.

import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
var countdown:Timer = new Timer (1000,TARGET_TIME);
//after 60 Seconds every DisplayObject will be removed from stage
const TARGET_TIME:int = 60;
countdown.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tick);
countdown.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, gameOver);
function tick(e:TimerEvent):void {
    //this will count upwards 1.2.3.4....
    trace(e.currentTarget.currentCount);
function gameOver(e:TimerEvent):void {
    // this function will remove all DisplayObjects from your Stage
    // starting from the top
    //It will not remove shapes or anything the user might have drawn on the stage
    //just things that are accessible to ActionScript (Sprites, MovieClips)
    for (var i:int = this.numChildren-1 ; i >= 0; i--) {
        removeChildAt(i);
//countdown will start only if you call it explicitly
countdown.start();

How to create countdown timer with sound

Any ideas on how to create a minute and seconds countdown timer that would play a sound and then redirect you to another page?

Hi,
There is no out of the box solution to do so in Muse at the moment. If you can get your own code, you can add it to your site using "Insert HTML" feature.

Countdown Timer

Can anyone gve me any advice on how to make a countdown timer
in actionscript 3?
I have tried several ways and have so far been
unsucessful.

Here's something simple:
var endDate:Date = new Date(2012, 11, 21);
var t:Timer = new Timer(500);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, msLeft);
t.start();
function msLeft(e:TimerEvent){
var now:Date = new Date();
var ms = endDate.valueOf() - now.valueOf();
var secs = Math.floor((ms / 1000) % 60);
var mins = Math.floor((ms / 1000 / 60) % 60);
var hours = Math.floor((ms / 1000 / 60 / 60) % 24);
var days = Math.floor((ms / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24) % 365);
var years = Math.floor(ms / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24 / 365);
trace(years, "years", days, "days", hours, "hours", mins,
"minutes", secs,
"seconds");
