I am trying to desing a flash timer that counts down to a specific date. However, when I set the time it counts down to, it looks like the flash movie is referencing the time on the users system and doing the math from there.
However, since it is a count down to when registrations closes and we are a (some what) global organization the time could be wrong if viewed anywhere outside of the CST time zone.
Is there a way to work around this?
The example of the timer is here:
http://www.jcahpo.org/ and is in the upper right hand corner.

Yeh, I would definately have the flash movie read the output of a simple php file that creates a fixed date/time, then just count down from that in the movie..
