ok i asked a Q a few days ago (and recieved a fab reply)

> Hi

```auto
 
mydate = new Date();
current_time = mydate.getHours();
if (current_time<11) {
	  message = "good morning";
}else if (current_time>12) {
	  message = "good evening";
}

```

but now say i have a dynamic text box (instance name message )

where do i put the AS and do i have to add an event handler

sigh it’s been so long since i’ve used flash!

thanks
