var listenerObject:Object = new Object();  
var \_root.fullDuration: null;  
listenerObject.metadataReceived = function(eventObject:Object):Void {  
\_root.fullDuration = \_root.prettyTime(flv\_playback.metadata.duration);  
};  
listenerObject.playheadUpdate = function(eventObject:Object):Void {  
var paTime = flv\_playback.playheadTime;  
if(\_root.fullDuration != null){  
//updates the text box with the instance name timeCode\_txt on the root timeline.  
//best to use a monospace typeface like calibri for the textbox font.  
\_root.timeCode\_txt.text = \_root.prettyTime(flv\_playback.playheadTime) + " / " + \_root.fullDuration;  
}  
};

flv\_playback.addEventListener(“metadataReceived”, listenerObject);  
flv\_playback.addEventListener(“playheadUpdate”, listenerObject);

function prettyTime(timeinSeconds):String{  
var seconds:Number = Math.floor(timeinSeconds);  
var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds / 60);  
var hours:Number = Math.floor(minutes / 60);

```
//Storing the remainder of this division problem
seconds %= 60;
minutes %= 60;
hours %= 24;

//Converting numerical values into strings so that
//we string all of these numbers together for the display
var sec:String = seconds.toString();
var min:String = minutes.toString();
var hrs:String = hours.toString();

//Setting up a few restrictions for when the current time reaches a single digit
if (sec.length &lt; 2) {
    sec = "0" + sec;
}

if (min.length &lt; 2) {
    min = "0" + min;
}

if (hrs.length &lt; 2) {
    hrs = "0" + hrs;
}

//Stringing all of the numbers together for the display
var time:String = hrs + ":" + min + ":" + sec;
//Setting the string to the display
return time;

```
