Display Current Time - The Eternal Question

[artane]

Hi guys,

I've got this code that displays the time but, I want the time to display dynamically, updated by the user's sytem clock so it always displays the "current time".

myNow=new Date();
myDay=myNow.getDay();
myMonth=myNow.getMonth();
myDate=myNow.getDate();
myHours=myNow.getHours();
myMinutes=myNow.getMinutes();
mySeconds=myNow.getSeconds();
myYear=myNow.getFullYear();
theHour=myHours
noon=""
if (myHours>=13){
theHour=myHours-12;
}
else {theHour==myHours;
}
if (myMinutes<10){
myMinutes="0"+myMinutes;
}

if (myHours<12){
noon="am";
}
else {
noon="pm"
}

theDay=new Array("Sunday","Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");
theMonth=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");


theDate=theDay[myDay]+"\n"+myDate+" "+theMonth[myMonth]+", "+myYear+"\n"
+theHour+":"+myMinutes+" "+noon;



Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank-You very much!

It does. Read this: http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary153.html

when you use the Date object, it will always use the user's local time if you use getDate, getHour, etc.

It will use the current time from the user's computer.
