I want to make a clock but not just the time straight from my computer. I want to make my sort of own time zone clock. Is there any tutorial on making that here or an explanation?

I am working on an application to display GMT time and CST time in a swf. I am able to make the clock display time in GMT. When I check for time in CST it seems to be 1/2 hour behind. I am bit confused and code is junk now (So not up in the forum).
View 2 RepliesI have to make this analog clock for a university assignment and despite some really good efforts last night and tonight I just can't work out how to get it fully working. There is both a digital and analog clock; the digital clock works fine, but the analog clock just starts from a random time whenever I play the test movie. I am supposed to use the date object, not the timer object. And I am also supposed to add a sound every minute - I have added the sound to the minutes layer and selected but I don't know where to go from there. I seem to be able to find lots of example code for the timer object but not the date.

View 8 RepliesI would like to make a binary countdown clock now. I followed senocular's tutorial on making a countdown timer, but it didn't work. How to make a countdown timer, and if possible make it use individual units of time, not just milliseconds, for the calculations. The problem with his tutorial that keeps me from changing the code to fit my needs is that it converts the numbers into a string and changes the numbers accordingly. I need to change the alpha of an mc depending on if the number goes into the binary form of the time left until the event.
When I made my clock, I knew that the time could never go under 1:00:00, and never over 23:59:59. All I did was made each "light" check what the value was, and if it needed to be "on" or "off", and then changed it accordingly. The code in each "light" is about 115 lines. Imagine making a check for each value if the event date is a year away! I can't attach a *.fla for my clock, because it is too big, but it's located here.
I need to add in extra hours to the time, and the day will change automatically too. How should I change the code below?[code]

View 1 RepliesI am willing to do something like this in flash. Just 2-3 clocks showing times of different countries will also do.
I figured out that it has to be done by GMT, Time Zone but don't know how. I don't know php or jawa or any other language. Just basic flash scripting.
I have a working USA Time Zone Map. It works, but there are some bugs that I cant seem to get rid of.1st off, the time is based on the PC's clock. ( It's a work related thing, and no need to go from there)I have a clock displaying OUR current time (AST). I have EST, CST, MST, and PST times displayed also.I offsetted the clocks in each zone by simply adding the following code for each clock movie;[code]If I do -4, or -5, and so on, I get a '-' in front of the hours before the hour number, and if I add the AM, PM code in , like in the AST movie, THE movies dont show the proper AM, PM times when it is either AM, or PM.The FLA attached works fine as is, but I want to be able to have the AM/PM after the time on the clocks that are not local to the user 's PC clock.url...

View 1 RepliesI've been using your tutorial for a date countdown timer with great sucess, although now I realise because it took the date from the computer that is viewing it and because the event is counting to an event in India, it would be wrong because up until now, ive just put the date and time so obivously it would be wrong because it would be that time/date of that timezone. Is there anyway I can alter the actionscript for a specific timezone?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a clock that goes to a frame with a set amount of bars across the screen at 8 am. Then every 15 minutes it goes to another frame where one bar is gone and a certain action happens. It's just a joke clock to countdown the workday. But after it switches over the clock stops telling time. I have a dynamic text named Clock_text I tried putting this actionscript in the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
time=new Date(); // time object
var seconds = time.getSeconds()[code]....
and so on for the corresponding frames going to the 5 o clock celebration page. After it switches over to frame 3 the clock stops working.
I know how to read the time from a user's pc's clock, however, I'm wondering if you can break the individual digits down so they get inputted into individual text boxes, (i.e., 2 text boxes for the hours, 2 text boxes for the minutes, and 2 for the seconds... I need to convert the time somehow to strings?
View 1 Repliesi have been creating many flash clocks, but with the normal code, i mean, the code to show the time on every computer of each visitor.
What i must know is how to make a normal flash clock show the time of a specific world time zone, i know that they work from -5 , -4 ... 0 ... +1 , +2 ... .
So i have this flash clock, and it has this action script code:
Code:
myTime = new Date(year, month, date, hour, min, sec, ms);
minutes = myTime.getMinutes();
hours = myTime.getHours();
[Code]....
what code must i enter or substitute in the code above to show the time of a specific world time zone?

I'm seeing lots of cool clocks made in flash, but they load the time based on your machine's date and time. I want to construct a clock which takes the time from an official time server so it will always be up to date.
View 2 RepliesI want to calculate the number of ms elapsed between 2 time points for measuring reaction time. The system clock change (e.g. from auto sync) messed up the calculation.The function flash.utils.getTimer is supposed to return the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the Flash runtime virtual machine for ActionScript 3.0 (AVM2) started. This number of milliseconds is not affected by system clock change on Windows, but this is not true on Mac. The Date class is affected by system clock change on Windows or Mac.Is there any other timing function that returns time which is not affected by system clock change on Mac?

I'm trying to get a flash clock (with the clock hands ticking over) to work with server side time, not client side time
I understand I need "loadvars" within the actionscript for it to get time from the server but I really don't know where to start with the scripting.
I also understand I need a php script to interact with the flash file. Would the gettime.php script suffice?
I'm having a lot of trouble getting my AS3 code to work. I have made a digital clock that grabs the system's time and I want to be able to control the speed of the time by using a slider and a button to reset the time back to the system's clock. Any idea how I go about doing this? I figure I need to grab the system's time and then stop it and create my own clock by increasing the seconds by 1.

I was thinking the other week - wouldn't it be great to have a flash clock that not only tells a classy analogue time but also, like a church clock, gives out bell noises when the hour is reached, an also chimes the number of hours the time corresponds too. So at 1pm/am it will chime once, and at midnight you get 12 chimes and so on, I'm sure you get my meaning. I'm not great when it comes to working with sound, infact I've never added much more than a custom click noise on a button. How to go about this? I've attached a nice church bell noise for y'all just incase.
