I didn’t have this problem with Flash 5… I think 🙂  
But anyway  
myhours = getHours(); no problem  
but when the hours are 1-9 I want “0” to be in front of the hours.  
like not “9.44.56” but “09.44.56”  
I tried  
if(hours\<10) {  
hours = “0”+hours;  
}  
but It didn’t work ☹  
i tried  
if(lentgh(hours==1)) {  
hours = “0”+hours;  
}  
…still didn’t work… ☹  
Any ideas?

This should work:

```php
myDate = new Date();
Hours = (myDate.getHours())
if (Hours <= 9) {
	myDate1 = ("0"+Hours+":"+(myDate.getMinutes()))
} else {
myDate1 = (Hours+":"+(myDate.getMinutes()))
}
DynamicTextField.text = myDate1

```

Hope this helps!

Yes it worked but another problem occured.(not because of this)  
I didn’t add the year before but now i noticed that the year is missing and I added

```php
myyear = mydate.getYear();

```

(PHP PHP PHP :P)  
i didn’t know that the year is 102!  
The date is today:  
10.11.102  
cool  
wtf? Time travelling? have I gone back in time?? 🙂

The month is 10. but it should be 11(Nov). Why is that so?  
I just made it mymonth+1 but why does it showme 10???

solution:

```php
myDate = new Date();
DynamicTextField.text = ((myDate.getYear()) + 1900)

```

</div>

and about the month thingy:

> returns the month (0 for January, 1 for February, and so on) of the specified Date object, according to local time. Local time is determined by the operating system on which the Flash Player is running.

so just add 1 and it would work!
