@Steve

In your code of… new Date(2010, 5, 11);

You are setting the date to be 2010, June 11th

If you use numbers for months remember that months start at “0″ not 1

So January = 0
February = 1
March = 2
April = 3
etc

as you wanted April 19th 2010
you shd have had… new Date(2010, 3, 19);

@Luis Felipe
Hi Luis

I had the same problem until I came across another tutorial which showed how to stop the counter at 0.

if(time_txt.text == “0:00:00:00″){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
The above depends on whether you are using days:hrs:mins:secs

Hope it helps

Every time I make a change to the line
var endDate:Date = new Date(2010, 5, 11);
The result never adds up to the right day. I put April 19th 2010 and it says there is 65 days remaining. Should be more like 13 days.

Thanks for your help.
