clock problem

[imladris]

i have placed the following code in frame 1 which then displays the current time in relevant dynamic text box.
Any ideas what i have missed because the time doesn't update itself-it just stays at the time you entered the page at

now=new Date()
//txt1.text=now.getHours()+":"+now.getMinutes()+":"+ now.getSeconds()
h=now.getHours()
if (h<10){
h="0"+h
}
m=now.getMinutes()
if (m<10){
m="0"+m;
}
s=now.getSeconds()
if (s<10){
s="0"+s
}
ms=now.getMilliseconds()
if (ms<10){
ms="0"+ms
}

txt1.text=h+":"+m

Hmm. The compiler let you get away with not using semicolons?

Anyway, you need a loop using onEnterFrame() or some other means of repeatedly executing the code. A low frame rate is okay (I used 12) since you're only looking a minutes or seconds, and reduces cpu processing load. I was going to post a solution zip file, but I can't open the manage attachments window - oops, now its working. Enjoy .

P.S. Alternatively, you can add a second key frame and create a "gotoAndPlay(1);" loop.
