Hi, I have this background that changes with a visitors time of day.

It works fine (the first run), but when I test it (by changing my clock on my desktop) it seems to just go from one frame to the next w/out actually rechecking the AS.

```
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT]current = [COLOR=#0000FF]undefined[/COLOR];

```

[COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR] loadNew COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
container.[COLOR=#0000FF]play[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR] checkTime COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]date[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **new** [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]Date[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
hour = [COLOR=#0000FF]date[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]getHours[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];

[COLOR=#0000FF]if[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]hour \>= [COLOR=#000080]0[/COLOR] && hour \<= [COLOR=#000080]8[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]if[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]current != [COLOR=#FF0000]“day”[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
current = [COLOR=#FF0000]“day”[/COLOR];  
loadNew COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]else[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]if[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]hour \>= [COLOR=#000080]9[/COLOR] && hour \<= [COLOR=#000080]16[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000FF]if[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]current != [COLOR=#FF0000]“evening”[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
