system clock

[gogon]

How do I use action script to simply change a photo once every hour according to the system clock?

[gazday]

use the get hour command as you would to construct a simple clock.

Create a movieclip with a different image in each frame and a stop command in the first.

Make a variable "hour" and set hour = getHour

Then use if, else if to change the image

if hour=1 _root.photoMC.gotoandStop(1)
else if hour=2 _root.photoMC.gotoandStop(2)
etc.

Apologies for the lazy syntax but I hope you get the idea
