Alright so I'm going to help all you folks out there who have been dying to know how to make a digital clock in flash...get ready! Here are the easy steps!

1. In your timeline create 3 layers and name them actions, text and background. Similar

to what you see above...

2. Select frame 1 of your backgrounds layer and design the frame for

your digital clock.

3. Select frame 2 of your backgrounds layer and press F5.

4. Now go to frame 1 of your text layer and insert a dynamic text field

in your work area.

5. Select frame 2 of your text layer and press F5.

{To insert a Dynamic text field}

Select text tool from your tool box, Select Dynamic text from Text pop-up menu in the Property inspector. Click on your work area wherever you want the digital clock to appear.

6. Name this Dynamic text field instance as "clock_txt".

7. Go to frame 1 of actions layer. Copy and paste the script below into the action window.

time=new Date(); // time object

var seconds = time.getSeconds()

var minutes = time.getMinutes()

var hours = time.getHours()

if (hours<12)>

ampm = "AM";

}

else{

ampm = "PM";

}

while(hours >12){

hours = hours - 12;

}

if(hours<10)

{

hours = "0" + hours;

}

if(minutes<10)

{

minutes = "0" + minutes;

}

if(seconds<10)

{

seconds = "0" + seconds;

}

clock_txt.text = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds +" "+ ampm;

8. Now go to frame 2 of the actions layer and press F6 to insert a new keyframe.
