Does anyone know where I might find just a very simple flash digital clock? One that just displays the current time.. and I suppose has a thing set up where it updates an fscommand everytime the time changes? (not sure if what I said made any sense, but I don't know much about flash)

I Just want to impliment a date and time on my project (using a text object) and i'm assuming the only real efficent way of doing it is with flash. I tried a while loop but it just made my computer use 90-100% resources for the application.

Any help would be great /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif Thanks.

Nevermind! I came up with a brilliant idea /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

Made a blank flash in swish, with a blank FS command at ~1 second... and have the movie loop. and just did On FSCommand get time and refresh the text object.

I posted a real good flash timer around here somewhere, I think the title was "a general purpose flash timer for your projects" or something like that maybe you can find it with a search...

Oh, here it is http://www.indigorose.com/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=UBB2&Number=22855&Sear ch=true&Forum=UBB2&Words=flash%20timer&Match=Entir e%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main =22855

FWIW Adam the link AGRO posted has a variety of digital clocks which are already in .swf form and ready to use. Flash kit is awesome. Perhaps the best, ever. The forum there is unreal too.
