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?

I 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.
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",clockHandler); false, 0, true;

View 8 RepliesWe're making a simple input text comparisons vs. some constant floating point numbers (e.g. 4.35). Using Actionscript 2 to Flash 9 export.
Code:
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)))
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)==4.35))
trace((Number(435/100)==4.35))
[code]...
In the order listed above, I get the following trace when I export via Flash CS3 (9.0) on my PPC mac:
number
boolean
true
true
[code]....
The same exact FLA file, unmodified, gives the following trace output on 2 different intel macs (one mac pro, one imac) using Flash CS3 (9.0).
number
boolean
false
false
[code]....
have a clue why this is giving falses for statements such as "(Number(435/100)==4.35))", "(435/100==4.35)" or "(Number(input_txt.text)==4.35000)" but ISN'T giving a false for (Number(input_txt.text)==(435/100)) (NOTE: input_txt.text is an input field which contains the string 4.35) I'm expecting the latter since they're generally intel chipsets too??
Note: once i compile the code on my PPC mac, intel macs that run the SWF (but don't recompile the FLA) do return the correct booleans that match the PPC output.
I'm trying to read date variables from an external text file. I'm using the LoadVars method and it is working fine for regular string variables. I'm running into trouble trying to convert some of those strings into date variables so I can compare the current date to the targetDateX variable from the text file. I'm working on a countdown timer for a list of different times/dates. It will display the time left until the first event, then after that event the time left until the second event. I'm running the code in a for loop and everything is working except being able to convert the string with format (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm) into a date variable- I've attached a sample of where I'm having trouble.

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 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 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'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.

View 1 Repliesim going through ASDG, page by page, and learning everything from scratch. he's explaining datatypes, i.e. strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, etc...i get that. then he goes into explaining how to convert datatypes from numbers to strings using "toString" , and then strings to numbers using "Number()"...and then later, strings to booleans and stuff. My question is this. where someone would want to turn a number into a string or a string into a number? and how would someone even turn a string into a number? i dont understand how that works.

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.
