Is there a simple way to create a variable that contains the date & time such as: October 23, 2002 4:45 pm ---

MX or 5.0? I don’t think that there is a simple way… but we could certainly provide the code, which in itself would be simple to just paste into your project. Which version of Flash are you using? ---

Hey david… I know it works for time, not sure about date but… It works in both if you create the textbox and load the variables in through AS. It works on the clock I did. ---

Sorry, Flash MX I know with PHP script it appears naturally as a Unix based time. But I would much rather run it through Flash Thanks! BTW David how is the Swift 3D coming along? Have you got v3 yet? ---

Well, I thought about it when I saw this: [http://www.stopzebot.com/](http://www.stopzebot.com/) then go to “Le Labo” (first button) and then ZE AUTOPSY (top left). Something like that, more or less. What do you think? ---

Wow thanks Allen! The thing is: my exams are coming next week, and then I’ll take a loooooooong vacation, so I’ll do the sketches and I send you everything when I’m done (not before a month or so). Sounds good? pom 🙂 ---
