Making a countdown to start the game

Hi, I'm making a racing game and I want a simple 3..2..1.. Go countdown that doesn't let users play the game until it hits go.

something like this: http://marketplace.gamesalad.com/#query=timer&product=34526

I can't seem to open the file because of the version of Gamesalad I'm using, I think?

"The document “countdown” could not be opened. This version of GameSalad supports version 0.20 and earlier game projects. This file is version 0.21"

But Gamesalad is telling me: GameSalad 0.11.1.11 is currently the newest version available. Confused

I basically posted 4 actors counting numbers 3-1 and Go and after .55 seconds I destroyed each actor and made the following one come up. And interpolated the numbers so the number grows. Looks nice

it contains the countdown feature you require, using no load times, and only 1 actor with custom font.
