Hi

I’m trying to make a realtime animation, where the scene differs depending on the time of day you’re looking.  
It works quite well, with one exception: as soon as the time is anywhere between 0:00am and 0:59am it shows the “morning”-scene instead of the nightscene (after 1:00am everything’s OK again). Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thanks in advance! Paul.  
Here’s the script:

> mydate = new Date();  
> time = mydate.getHours();  
> if (time == 0) {  
> time = “24”;  
> } else if (time == 1) {  
> time = “01”;  
> } else if (time == 2) {  
> time = “02”;  
> } else if (time == 3) {  
> time = “03”;  
> } else if (time == 4) {  
> time = “03”;  
> } else if (time == 5) {  
> time = “05”;  
> } else if (time == 6) {  
> time = “06”;  
> } else if (time == 7) {  
> time = “07”;  
> } else if (time == 8) {  
> time = “08”;  
> } else if (time == 9) {  
> time = “09”;  
> }  
> time2 = mydate.getMinutes();  
> if (time2 == 0) {  
> time2 = “00”;  
> } else if (time2 == 1) {  
> time2 = “01”;  
> } else if (time2 == 2) {  
> time2 = “02”;  
> } else if (time2 == 3) {  
> time2 = “03”;  
> } else if (time2 == 4) {  
> time2 = “03”;  
> } else if (time2 == 5) {  
> time2 = “05”;  
> } else if (time2 == 6) {  
> time2 = “06”;  
> } else if (time2 == 7) {  
> time2 = “07”;  
> } else if (time2 == 8) {  
> time2 = “08”;  
> } else if (time2 == 9) {  
> time2 = “09”;  
> }  
> time3 = mydate.getSeconds();  
> if (time3 == 0) {  
> time3 = “00”;  
> } else if (time3 == 1) {  
> time3 = “01”;  
> } else if (time3 == 2) {  
> time3 = “02”;  
> } else if (time3 == 3) {  
> time3 = “03”;  
> } else if (time3 == 4) {  
> time3 = “03”;  
> } else if (time3 == 5) {  
> time3 = “05”;

> time3 = “06”;  
> } else if (time3 == 7) {  
> time3 = “07”;  
> } else if (time3 == 8) {  
> time3 = “08”;  
> } else if (time3 == 9) {  
> time3 = “09”;  
> }  
> if (time\>=18 && time\<24) {

> } else if (time\>=0 && time\<6) {  
> gotoAndStop(“night”, 1);  
> }

Also see the attached .fla and try for yourself by changing the time.
