That's what I was thinking - with this ASP stuff I've

been doing, I figured if anything I could capture the

data in asp and send back to flash, which seems

clunky.  Anyway, text fields should work.  Now, my

dilemma is, the count isn't accurate.  I looked at one

of the countdown/clock samples that was recommended,

and it was much too fast.


Is there anyway to sync up better with the system time

or actual clock speed?  My concern would be too that

on slower machines, will the count be slower and on

faster machines, will it be too fast?


Sum up - what's the best way to get an accurate

timer/count when using Flash4?  Or, is this something

that needs to be done in Director?
