Re: FLASH: Time Display in Flash

[John Croteau]

Hi Chris,


For the most accurate Clock in Flash you need JavaScript and the Clock

can be easily made to work with Flash 3.

My Clock Tutorial is at Anchor.

Be sure to download the zip from my site for Part 2 --->

An example of a Clock using FSCommand is also at

and the new Flash methods Tutorial (Sending commands from JavaScript to

Flash. --->

You can use Load variables to bring in time but there will be an offset

in time based on when the time was grabbed and how long it takes to get

into Flash. Load variables is not immediate and can take some time at

times.

If you just need minutes accuraccy only, then this is not a big problem.
