Flash ActionScript 2.0
Sometimes its hard to get an answer because you are unaware of the proper question, so please anyone willing to help with this idea, bare with me if I sound un-professional about this.
I am looking to have a scene where there is 24 frames, one each representing the hour of the day. The images in the scene will be 3d (flattened to 2d .jpgs imported into flash) scenes that are lit based on the sun’s position for that hour. Example: Noon, the sun would be directly over head in the image/scene.
The idea is that when a user visits the site, there is a check to their computer’s clock (getTime). If the visitor’s clock is 3pm, then it would produce an image with the proper lighting for that time in the scene.
I understand getTime to a degree (clocks) but I’m having issues with both the Script and/or the syntax of the script in order to get this to call images (MCs).
I’m also having issues finding out if the getTime is based on the server’s time or the user’s computer time.
For a visual example of what I mean by time of day, you can get a sample by visiting this old user controlled version I made way back when. http://www.adamwooden.com/clients/johnbb/seasons/ - this isn’t run based on time of day but instead based on user control.
Any ideas?
