How to work out remaining time on a video

I'm trying to make a countdown next to a video that will start when the video starts and countdown until the video ends. So far I've got:
Code: Select all
subtract duration of player "My Video" from currenttime of player "My Video"
If this is right then all I need to know is how to get it onto a label text field
Thanks a lot!

Hi Rory,
Here's what I have:
Code: Select all
on playStarted
whatTime
end playStarted
on whatTime
put (the currentTime of me/the timeScale of me) into tCurrent
put (the duration of me/the timeScale of me) into totalSeconds
put round(totalSeconds - tCurrent) into fld 1
send whatTime to me in 1 second
end whatTime
All that in the script of the video player works.

Edit: Important edit
Code: Select all
on playStarted
whatTime
end playStarted
on whatTime
put (the currentTime of me/the timeScale of me) into tCurrent
put (the duration of me/the timeScale of me) into totalSeconds
put round(totalSeconds - tCurrent) into fld 1
if fld 1 <= 0 then exit whatTime
send whatTime to me in 1 second
end whatTime
Have to stop that send

besides from what Simon said, you really should think this logics over!
If you really don't see what's wrong here, substitute "duration" and "currenttime" with real time values
