Do you mean to make “Flash Clocks” for some countries sir? or do you mean you would like to know the present time in Kalamazoo using a Flash clock?

Err… I’m still not too sure what you mean?

If you mean to design a clock in Flash there is a very nice example of how to create an analogue clock in the “Fla” folder of “Samples” in the FlashMX directory. For a digital one you can use the “Date Object” I can post you some code if need be.

You don’t have to worry about making a different version of the clock for different countries, as the code picks up on the local time settings of the users system.

Hope this helps?

Your answer will all revolve around the “Date Object” in Flash.

You will need a common reference point, which I believe Flash gives you with getUTC methods of the object.

From this common reference point (which is really GMT) you can factor in the time differences around the world such as newYorkHours=(getUTCHours-5 hours)

It is quite an involved undertaking you are taking on & to program it out for you in full would take a lot of time.

Check out the Date Object help pages in Flash which should give you some good indicators
