Sorry I'm late to the thread, and that I'm not sure what the actual

question is... fwiw, Macromedia Flash 5 does have a "date" object which

includes many time and date functions... at quick glance it seems similar

to the JavaScript "date" object.


Note, though, that you're still subject to the time settings on that

particular computer... in some scenarios it may be more useful to retrieve

the consensus date and time from a server.
