That is correct there is a timer function in Flash 4 but no time

function.


The method for a highly accurate clock is therefore the same as in Flash

3.

Tutorial


I am woking on a method to supply browsers that don't support FSCommand

and have Flash 4 to have a fairly accurate clock. But any user with an

FSCommand capable browser would still get updated continuously with

FSCommand whether they have Flash 3 or 4.
