    I have the countdown flash player with a javascript file and an xml to allow you to enter in the date.

    Can someone please help me to figure out how to get the countdown to countdown every 24 hours and then reset automatically?

    Thanks,
    Adam

    That counter appears to work off of a static date - it's not designed for a regular countdown period. If your host/server has PHP installed (most do), you could always dynamically generate the XML file with PHP though.
