Please tell me im just stupid and not doing something right. I swear, every time I search for this, this is how its done... I know I can read... I promise I can.

trace(hours);

I havent tried that yet.... but assuming that works... why, why would that work rather than what I had before???

1. You have to declare a new Date object. getHours() is a method of the Date class.
2. Then you need to datatype the variable hours. You can use Number, uint or int.

That's it.
