Hi, I need some help trying to build a Time Zone clock using Flash MX/5.0. Is it possible to build a clock so no matter where the site page is being accessed the user is able to see the correct times for other time zones, e.g. London, New York, Dubai, etc. I would welcome any help!! Thanks in advance. Novice User. ---

Sure… there is a mean time in Flash. Do you know how to use the Date object already? ---

“…no matter where the site page is being accessed the user is able to see the correct times for other time zones…” was the ?, not the users comp time! I guess you’d have to find a way to make the user select their time zone, and set a variable according to that, different value for each zone, and based on that, calculate the offset for the zone (s) you want to display. Makes sense? ---

Well, unless you’ve got predefined timezones that you want to show… in which case you just find out the time according to GMT, (there’s a function in the date object for that.) and then subtract or add hours based upon which ones you want to show.
