First off, I am a newbie, and just started basic using flash and HTML / Javascript coding.

I got this Coundtown timer off the internet, and I was wondering if it is possible to make the countdown give a link (i.e. my websites homepage) when it finishes, if so could you please show / tell me what to do ???

Countdown timer from http://www.oneplusyou.com/bb/countdown

Countdown coding :

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.oneplusyou.com/bb/files/countdown/countdown.swf?co=820600&amp;bgcolor=000000&amp;date_month=08&;date_day=25&date_year=1&amp;un=OPEN DATE&size=big&mo=08&da=25&yr=2008" width="313" height="100"><param name="movie" value="http://www.oneplusyou.com/bb/files/countdown/countdown.swf?co=820600&amp;bgcolor=000000&amp;date_month=08&;date_day=25&date_year=1&amp;un=OPEN DATE&size=big&mo=08&da=25&yr=2008" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /></object><img src="http://www.oneplusyou.com/q/img/bb_badges/countdown.jpg" alt="" style="display: none;" height="1" width="1"

Any help would be much obliged .
P.S. If someone could also tell me how to delete the coding, that enables the writing (i.e. UNTIL OPENING DATE, see here for example, http://exige117.v-hosting.co.uk/Countdown.html ), that would very helpful and much obliged.

As you are trying to implement a ready made component, you may lack the customization required.
Try this link which shows a tutorial for creating a countdown timer in flash. (http://www.brandspankingnew.net/archive/2005/06/flashactionscri.html)
