[flexcoders] round timer

I'm looking for either a component or source code for a circle timer. something similar to this http://flashden.net/item/adjustable-circle-timer-in-casinostyle/10304. That one won't work for me because it's simply to jagged. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[flexcoders] how do I launch an exe from flex/air?

I have tried fscommand but it didnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
