How do I open a frame.?

[MicMastaBlasta]

the month begins counting at 0 thats why you need to put 11 instead of 12.

I'm using flash cs4 and when minutes is less than 10 e.g. min < 10. my counter down freezes every min and seconds doesn't work any ideas?

It tells you what the Actionscript lines do yes, but he doesn't explain how he references everything on the stage in the script.

[EricD12]

well he actually tells you what every line does. Its a good tutorial
