Hi.

I currently making a my school shedule in flash, so i can make it into a desktop  
application.

One of the things i still need right now is a way to update the clock every second. So if  
the shedule need to update itself, then it’ll do. For starters my digital clock don’t  
update itself, and when a lesson is started it has a red box around it, and this is also  
not updating itself. Any way to get it to update every second?

The second thing is probably more difficult… I want to have a circle right next to the  
lessons, and it has to work like a pie chart, so it shows how long until the class is  
over. It should be like a progress bar showing how much is loaded, but it has to show  
minutes instead of procent (or actually procent of the 45 mins). one lesson is 45  
minutes, and the day needs to be like this:

08:00 - 08:45  
5 min break  
08:50 - 09:35  
10 min break  
09:45 - 10:30  
5 min break  
10:35 - 11:20  
30 min break  
11:50 - 12:35  
5 min break  
12:40 - 13:25  
10 min break  
13:35 - 14:20  
5 min break  
14:25 - 15:10  
End of day

I will be able to make the rest, if i just knew how to make one of them.

Again, for this to work, there needs to be some kind of time updater, so it know when to  
start the and stop the lesson timer, and how long time the timer should be to finish.

If this is too diffecult to do with a cirkel, i would also be happy to know how it works  
with a normal vertical progress bar.

Any help would be nice 🙂 and if you need the .as or the .fla file just tell me.

Thanks, Andy (and sorry for my bad english, im from Denmark)
