Clocks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ive built a clock in flash with one layerwith the clock face. It has four libary items 3 are just the hands. The forth is a clock mvie clip with the following code:

x = new Date();
y = x.getSeconds();
z = x.getHours();
setProperty (sec, _rotation, y*6);
setProperty (min, _rotation, x.getMinutes()*6);
if (z>12) { z = z-12; }
setProperty (hrs, _rotation, ((z*30)+(x.getMinutes()/2)

This works fine as it a tutorial from this site but i need it to be editable by clicking a + and - hours button and a + and - minutes button. does anyone know how to do this?

thanks a lot

Clocks Need Cleaning
Hey -
I'm making a new site that's time oriented. I've found around 15 or so flash clocks that need someone to go inside them and reset to 12 hours cycles (non-military) and add my logo.
Where might I find someone to do this for a few bucks...say $10?
Thanks

[CS3] Count UP Clocks?
I'm searching for a way to make a count up clock (based in another timezone) that shows a specific day (i.e. Day 1) and when it ends on a specific day an event is triggered which causes the movie to display differently.

I've found stuff for countdown clocks, but nothing for count up ones.

can anyone point me in a direction?

Non-Military Clocks
Hello Everyone,

This is my first post on the entire board, so I would like to start off by saying it is nice meeting you all. I am 18 and new at this flash actionscript stuff. I have done Javascript and DHTML, so hopefully this will help me learn Actionscript a little easier. First problem I had with Actionscript is that no one ever seems to have a tutorial for making a Non-Military Time digial clock. I didn't look too hard, but I couldn't find one, so I decided to be on my own and make one. Well, I made one that worked, which is good.

I wrote a tutorial on it in case anyone wants to read it. It is the first tutorial I have ever written in my life, it doesn't have example pictures yet, but I am working on it. There is an example of what I am talking about at the end of page.

Click Here Non-Military Time Tutorial to check out the tutorial. Hopefully it will come in handy. Remember I am new at this, so if there are any useless chunks of code or bad explanations, I am sorry.

Enjoy,

News Room Clocks?
Hi,

I found a great Flashkit tutorial for creating an actionscript clock, located here:

http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...-215/index.php

My question is this: I have four buttons on my stage. When users rolls their mouse over button 1, I want their local (system) time to be displayed. When the user rolls over button 2, I want to show the local time in Hong Kong, button 3 Moscow, etc

Is there any way to do this?

cheers!

Multiple City Clocks
I'm creating a header, which requires several international times. [Header found here]. The first clock seems to work fine. The problem is with the other clocks. I can't figure out what numbers to use in place of the 30. [hours = hours*30;]

Here is the code for the clock that seems to work fine.

time=new Date(); // time object
minutes = time.getMinutes()
hours = time.getHours()

hours = hours + (minutes/60);

minutes = minutes*6; // calculating minutes
hours = hours*30; // calculating hours

min._rotation=minutes; // giving rotation property
hour._rotation=hours; // giving rotation property

If anyone has any ideas on this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Multiple Clocks With Different Time Zones
Hey all,

How would i go about making 5 different clocks, each with a different time zone? i want to have one for boston, san francisco, arizona, chicago, and tokyo. the only problem i can forsee is that since the clock corresponds to the user's computer, they may get messed up. (chicago is 1 hour earlier than boston, arizona is 2 hours earlier than boston, san francisco is 3 hours earlier than boston, and tokyo is 10 hours slower than boston). thanks in advance for all you help!

Setting Clocks To Server Time
Hey there! I'm a new user to Flash...spent most of my free time pounding the keys writing html script, this is sooo much easier....and have a few problems! I've been looking at the clock example that comes with the software and I want to know if it's possible for the clock to get the time and date off the server that it is being hosted on rather than off the individual users machine! If so.....can someone tell me how!!!??

Cheers in advance

Analog Clocks With Different Time Zones
Hi,

I need to create 6 analog clocks within a single flash document which shows real time for 6 different countries/time zones.. using actionscript. I can create the clocks and make them move but I know only how to get the system/server time by using getDate() and getHours() methods. But how do I make my clocks showing 6 different time zones.

Pls Help......Thanks.

Flash MX: World Analog Clocks 'Banner'
I have developed a 470x60 "banner" that incorporates nine analog clocks that show local times for the following cities:

Tokyo, Beijing,Islamabad,Moscow,London,Sao Paol, New York, Mexico City and Seattle.

The movie not only adjusts for daylight savings time where applicable, but also shows nightfall as it tracks across the planet.

Rather than make the SWF file available, I am making available the following Javascript code which will display the clock on any web page. This will enable me to upgrade the movie over time and change daylight savings time settings each year without having to redistribute the application.

Here's what the movie looks like.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.iqfeed.net/flash/worldclocks.js"></script><script>fire('runclock')</script>

The javascript code is below. Feel free to test this application and use it on your web site.

code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.iqfeed.net/flash/worldclocks.js"></script><script>fire('runclock')</script>

How Can I Create A Button That Changes Time On Animated Clocks.
I am creating a resource for children to help them understand time zones around the world, and analogue and digital displays.

I need to have two clocks, one with an hour hand and minute hand, and one a digital clock. I want to have two buttons, one called 'back' and one called 'forward' that advance/reduce the time. So if I clicked on 'back' 3 times the clock hands/digital display will move to display the time 3 hours behind the original time.

How could I do this? I presume I would need to change the angle of the hands on the analogue clock by 30 degrees each press. Can this be done with a button press?

Even re-reading this message it strikes me as quite a complicated problem, but if anyone can help me I'm sure you are on Flashkit forum!

Thanks in advance!!
