if you're asking to do this dynamically, that's not possible in Swish. it must be done in flash and then load that movie into swish.

just create a new sprite in your main timeline and place a "load movie -> date_time_box.swf -> into sprite (level -1)" at frame 0.

the datebox.swf has to be in the same folder together with your main swf.

Hello MBA

place "load movie into sprite (level -1)" commands into each one

or use load movie but u should create the swish movie & flash movie(Time & Date) As A same Size

without sprite
Load Movie (YourMovie.swf) At level 1

can i have a copy of the fla, just so i can change the colours etc. I know its a bit cheeky :D

Hi,persaltier

sorry, for inconvinience

but can u but in the movie the Day between the Date&Time

thanx ;)


__M_B_A__

DJNeilOughton,

Sorry this is off topic to your post but I've been trying to find the font/dingbat that has the same tilted arror that you use for your footer. Would you happen to know what font/dingbat that is?

Indeed i would, its used quite a lot isnt it!

OK, its a PC font - Wingdings 3.

The key press is - è

if you dont have the font (its standard) then i can email it you. If you have trouble finding the character then pull up the character map from your system tools.

Job Done ! :D

DJNeilOughton,

Thank you... no wonder I couldn't find it. It was one of those obvious solutions, those are the ones I always seem to overlook. Looking all over for a special arrow type dingbat font.

Thanks again!

I know what you mean though, i spent that long trying to find it in the first place that i acually got bored and did it by hand, it was only then a couple of days later going through the character map that i found it!

No problem btw :D

Persaltier,

I see what you mean. I needed to see it in action/practice. Sooo much clearer now.

LisaA,

There is a pretty sweet font I yanked from Font Freak for free called 2theleftdingbats, which has several different arrows within its set. One is very similar... "q"... has rounded edges though.

sorrry ,persaltier

cuz I make u upset

but Im like this very bad

i wanna the BG color like that color and the Text Wight

and

i wanna to but it in swish clip but it didn't work when i but it in spirt and make load movie level -1

like some one told me that

:S :$ help me plz :S

Rippled,

Thanks for the tip on the 2theleft dingbat... I'll give that one a shot too.

looks like you've opened a HUGE can of worms here David ;)

I have been reading through this thread with intrest.

I have seen the date & clock, which was made with flash mx.
But it is one hour behind B.S.T. It is not keeping up with the clock on the monitor!!!!!!

So how are you going to overcome this problem?????

Surf boy

this is interesting :)

seems to ignore the summertime setting...

wow, i've got enough worms to go fishing :) i used the Date() object for the clock/date, but I used the functions that are local to the computer running the SWF...meaning the date should be specific to your computer. However, it might not take into account daylight savings time.

The following is taken from the MX help files...if I would have used the Date,getUTCDate() method, then everybody would be complaining that the clock didn't tell them their local time. If you'd like the FLA, I'll post it...but I can't provide any sort of tech support for it once it's out of my hands.

Date (object)

The Date object lets you retrieve date and time values relative to universal time (Greenwich Mean Time, now called universal time or UTC) or relative to the operating system on which the Flash Player is running. The methods of the Date object are not static, but apply only to the individual instance of the Date object specified when the method is called. The Date.UTC method is an exception; it is a static method.

The Date object handles daylight saving time differently depending on the operating system and the Flash Player version. Flash Player 6 handles daylight saving time on the following operating systems in these ways:

Windows—the Date object automatically adjusts its output for daylight saving time. The Date object detects whether daylight saving time is employed in the current locale, and if so, it detects what the standard-to-daylight-saving-time transition date and times are. However, the transition dates currently in effect are applied to dates in the past and the future, so the daylight saving time bias may be calculated incorrectly for dates in the past when the locale had different transition dates.

Mac OS 8 and 9—the Date object uses the current daylight-saving-time bias, regardless of the date or time being calculated. For example, in the U.S. Pacific time zone during August, when daylight saving time (DST) is in effect, a Date object containing the date Jan 1 2001 still reports DST time even though DST isn't in effect during January. This problem cannot be remedied on Mac OS 8 or 9 because a time zone information database is not available.

Mac OS X—the Date object automatically adjusts its output for daylight saving time. The timezone information database in Mac OS X is used to determine whether any date or time in the present or past should have a daylight-saving-time bias applied.


Flash Player 5 handles daylight saving time on the following operating systems as follows:

Mac OS 8 and 9—the behavior is the same as described for Flash Player 6.

Windows—the U.S. rules for daylight saving time are always applied, which leads to incorrect transitions in Europe and other areas that employ daylight saving time but have different transition times than the U.S. Flash correctly detects whether DST is employed in the current locale.


To call the methods of the Date object, you must first create an instance of the Date object using the constructor for the Date object.

The Date object requires Flash Player 5.

MBA - not a problem..I was the one who offered in the first place :) I'm confused though:
"i wanna the BG color like that color and the Text Wight"
what is "like that color"? and the "text wight"..do you mean the color white? then you'd have a white on white swf...i'm confused :)

as far as using it in another movie, it's meant to be loaded into level -1 of another sprite.

ok I'll give u this color

the BG:

Red=29
Green=145
Blue=239
the text :
Red=255
Green=255
Blue=255
and all of them Center
