Date and Time Problems (bug?)

I inserted the Date And Time object, set the type of clock to digital, set the face to ##:##:## (the last selection available) and set the mode to countdown. In the events panel at the start of the frame event I use countdown-set countdown to set the minutes to 5 and then use countdown-start countdown to start the countdown.

When testing in MMF2 (via Function 7) it works perfectly. The built .swf file does not set the time and does not start the countdown. It displays time as "00:00:00" and does not change.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
