Yes FSCommand for Flash 3+

In Flash 4 there is a built in timer function which keeps accurate

relative time, perfect for counters.

The timer in my tutorial is free running and not accurate. in Flash 3

you need to tie the timing to the system clock with JavaScript and

FSCommand to make an accurate Clock or timer. This is covered in part 2

of the Clock tutorial.
