Hi  
I am building a time/date line and I have a slider that displays information when you slide over certain points on the line. I woud like the slider to start at the correct month when the movie starts. So I expect this would involve flash calling the date from the users pc and starting the slider at a pre determined position on the stage for that month. Could anyone help me get started on this?

Thanks

Andy
