Apply this code to the PM clip: onClipEvent (load) {
time = new Date();
ampm = time.getHours();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (ampm<=11) {
setProperty(this, _visible, false);
}
}
This is the same as the above code, except the if condition. We have if ampm is less than or equal to 11 (since less than 11 is am on a 24hr clock, or not pm). Now, if the time is 3:47pm, the am clip will be invisible, or if it is 7:29am, the pm clip is invisible. Note: one clip will be invisible only when the movie is played, not when it is being edited in flash. There are many ways we could have done this, i just picked a way i like doing it. Next we add the actual time. Just under the timeline you will see a grey bar. Press scene 1. We are now on our main (_root) timeline. Drag the interface clip from the library to the stage and center it. Right click on it, press actions from the context menu, and copy in this code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
time = new Date();
twofourhours = time.getHours();
timeminutes = time.getMinutes();
timeseconds = time.getSeconds();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (twofourhours>12) {
timehours = twofourhours - 12;
} else {
timehours = twofourhours;
}
}
CODE EXPLAINED: The next part says when we enter the frame, we create a new if statement. If twofourhours (the current hour in 24hr time), is greater than 12, we convert it to 12hr format using the formula i created (Use your math skills). If it is greater than 12, we take 12 from it. simple maths. The final, else statement is saying if the else statement is false, make timehours equal whatever hour flash has given to the twofourhours variable. Thats it for this tutorial, you now have created a 12hr clock. Congratulations!
