Thanks scottris for trying to help me out here. I have this complicated idea, and I worked it out completely before trying it as I never bumped into this problem so it is actually quite frustrating that there seems to be a problem after all.

Below is the code of the html page,

<html>

<head>
<title>time zone</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
< !-- initial fscommand-->
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
< !-- hide from old browsers

// handle for the special case where we need different code for IE and NS
var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;

// Handle all FSCommand messages from Shockwave Flash movie
function clock2_DoFSCommand(cmd, args) {
// IE and Navigator have slightly different document object models
// IE treats objects as members of "id" while in Navigator,
// embeded objects are members of "window.document.embeds[0]"
var clock = InternetExplorer ? clock2 : document.embeds["clock2"]
var OD = new Date();

function getmin() {
clock.TGotoFrame("_level0/min", OD.getMinutes());
}
function gethrs() {
clock.TGotoFrame("_level0/hrs", OD.getHours());
}
function getdate() {
clock.TGotoFrame("_level0/date", OD.getDate()-1);
}
function getmon() {
clock.TGotoFrame("_level0/month", OD.getMonth());
}
function getwkd() {
clock.TGotoFrame("_level0/weekday", OD.getDay());
}
function getsec() {
clock.TGotoFrame("_level0/sec", OD.getSeconds());
}

// initial clock
if ( cmd=="initclock" ) {
getmin();
gethrs();
getdate();
getmon();
getwkd();
getsec();
}

}
// end hide-->
</script>
<script LANGUAGE="VBScript">
< !--hide from old browsers
// handle swf sent VBScript events to IE with AXcontrol
Sub clock2_FSCommand(ByVal cmd, ByVal args)
call clock2_DoFSCommand(cmd, args)
end sub
// end hide-->
</script>
< !--end initial fscommand-->
