Make a Flash Clock

This tutorial is for phones which support swf images.

Lets get started.

Step 1) Create a new flash document, set the resolution as your phones resolution.

(Etc. 176x220/240x320)

(If you want to set your own picture as the background, press Ctrl + R, if the picture isnt the correct size, use the transform tool to resize it.)

Step 2) Click on Publish:Settings.

Step 3) Click on the Flash tab and change the version to Flash Lite 1.1.

Step 6) Type 99.99.99 in the textfield.

Step 7) Set the Text to Dynamic text.

Step 8) Type TIME in the VAR box.

Step 11) Click on Actions

Step 12) Copy and paste this code into the box:
fscommand2("GetLocaleTime", "TIME");

TIME_SEC = fscommand2("GetTimeSeconds");
// add leading 0 to hours
if (h<10) {h="0"+h;};

// add leading 0 to seconds
if (s<10) {s="0"+s;};

// add leading 0 to minutes
if (min<10) {min="0"+min;}
