Flip Countdown Clock
Stylish flip countdown clock ,vector based and resizeable. You can fully customize text color, bg color, bg shadow alpha, target time text, and target timezone in XML file, and Support event onFinish.

Take a look at the example below for the final result.

1. For the first step I created the clock face. I drew 3 circles, and center align them. I used blue and grey colors with gradients for the background clock to look nice. I also made here the lines for the minutes and hours.

2. Create three new movie clips (Insert->New Symbol->Movie Clip) for seconds, minutes and hours clock hands. Inside each of them drew a coresponding shape. After that drag them on the Stage and center align to the clock. Give each Movie Clip an instance name (secondHand_, minuteHand_, hourHand_).

3. Final step paste this code in the Actions tab of the first frame. Once you’ve done that test the movie.

var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, clockHandler);
timer.start();

function clockHandler(event:TimerEvent)
{

	    // set hour
		var time = new Date();
		var hourHand = time.getHours();
		var minuteHand = time.getMinutes();
		var secondHand = time.getSeconds();

		hourHand_.rotation = 30 * hourHand + minuteHand / 2;
		minuteHand_.rotation = 6 * minuteHand;
		secondHand_.rotation = 6 * secondHand;
}
