getDate effecting a MC

this is driving me batty… iv messed with it for about 6 hours now and i duno what im overlooking…

im desperatly trying to find a way to get a movieclip to respond to the current time and date…

lets say for example iv got an instance of secondsBox on the stage. its a movie clip. it has 60 frames… each frame has a different graphic on it… see where im going with this…?

how can i get the secondsBox to advance one frame every second?

i know it must be something simple im not seeing… or maybe theres a different way to approach it…

thanks in advance
