Making a clock

From Flash Wiki

Making a clock in Flash is easy. It depend on what type of clock you want to make.

[edit] Tell the user's Time

Using this you can display the time of the users computers.

First of all make a dynamic text field and give it an instance name of time_txt

Now in the frame AS Panel Enter This

   this.onEnterFrame = function() {
       today = 29/3/2009()
       hour = 06()
       minutes = 30()
       seconds = 00()
       var timeset:String = hour + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds
       time_txt.text = timeset
   }

[edit] Flash Timer

This type of timer calculates how long you have been using that Flash app. To make your own, create a dynamic text box and give it an instance name of clock.

Now open Up the AS panel and put this in.

   this.onEnterFrame = function() {
       timing = getTimer() //This will get the time but it is in milliseconds
       inseconds = timing / 1000 //This will divide it by 100
       clock.text = inseconds + "seconds" //This will show the seconds in clock
   }
