Continuing with the useful banner tools theme (see Horizontal Banner Calculator too) this article describes a useful Stop Watch / Count Down timer that fits in a standard 468×60 banner.
To fit all of the required functions into the available space, the banner slides left and right depending on the desired function.
We have had feedback from a few users that the Countdown Timer should make a beep sound each second as it counts down. Consequently we have added some new parameters that allow you to enable the sound and adjust its volume.
The revised component can be downloaded here. Copy the contents to your Components\Data display folder. The component requires SWiSH Max3 (or miniMax3) build 20091130 or later.
The new parameters allow the sound to be enabled or disabled (Beep parameter), the volume to be adjusted (Volume parameter) and the sound file to be altered (Sound File Properties parameter). The default sound is a 0.1 second sine wave, 440hz (A above middle C).
Have you ever wanted a countdown timer for your website, or wondered how long it is until 1st Jan 2012 (local time)? If so, then this component could be for you! This new CountdownTimer component allows you to specify a countdown date (Year, Month, Day, Hour and minute) in either local time or GMT time. The display then shows the remaining days (max days is 999), hours, minutes and seconds. At the end of the countdown period it will display “End” in the seven segment display.
Badgets of Honor.
