ps: forgot to insert a frame after the first keyframe on each layer, this allows the 'seconds' to update every second. At the moment, the swf 'sticks'.

I'll update the fla later, but I guess you can manage to insert a frame by yourself ;-)

thanks alot dave..on the html you posted one of the minute numbers is not showing up..if it is 9:05 the 0 before the five is not showing up, is it suppose to be that way..and by the way thank you very very much man..this will add just the right touch to the site i'm working on..

if ya wan't to have a look at where i'm going with it have a look here..may take a minute to load be patient..

and yes i can manage the keyframe part..what about that missing number?

 

[coldfused]

dave is there a way to make the clock not read military time and read regular time..just a thought!!

 

[coldfused]

dave the above link is dead and i do not know why..but anyway here is another one

http://www.newworlddesignz.f2s.com/tv.swf

would like for you to take a look and give an honest opinion of what i have so far..none of the buttons are active yet..each button(on the vcr and the tv) will eventually call clips that will open up inside the screen..about that clock..every new hour that rolls around on the clock of course has a time in between 00 minutes and 09 minutes before it rolls over to ten minutes..but for some reason in between 00 and 09 the 0 in the tenths spot does not show up...why is that?..and as i posted above was wondering if you can make the clock regular time instead of military..just doesn't look right on the vcr in military time..but if not it will stay..any suggestions would be appreciated...

sheesh......

Virt,

1- 06:LOL9am in U.K.... Maybe you'll get his response in a few hours!
2- Your first link might not be working because tv.swf doesn't seem to be present on

http://www.endangeredgraphics.f2s.com/

... Are you sure you uploaded it there also and not just on

http://www.newworlddesignz.f2s.com/?

3- Out of curiosity, what type (format-> QT-RP-WM?) of clips will you have? Is this TV set really a cut out and
will the clips be embedded behind it?

;-)

 

[coldfused]

no it's on both..and what kinda format will i use..i don't know..what do you suggest..and should it be a cut out and have the clips embeded behind..i was wondering exactly how i should do it..if i have all the clips inside it will take forever to load right..or not?.and if i embed the clips behind the tv will they load faster?.and i think you may have misunderstood what i meant by clips..each button will pull up a different page of the site re: 1 calls the home page,2 calls the next and so on..what did you think of the interface?.

 

[oldnewbie]

Went to check it again... And lost my post!
Here we go again:

If you designed this yourself... Looks pretty good! Although I do hold a grudge against Panasonic!
If you copied it... Well it stills look good, but with less originality!
You do like to demonstrate we're in color! Don't you!

So this will hold htmls and maybe a few other swfs, but no streaming video clips as I understood it! Right?

As for the cut out thing... I still have to experiment divisions and layers myself. Would probably work in IE but not sure about layers in NS!

Why does your clock update and not Dave's when I link to his html?

;-)

 

[oldnewbie]

Ok! Just got it! Add a extra frame!

Just added the red for seconds... And this does add a leading zero when seconds are under ten. Should do the same for minutes & hours. Just apply it to them, obviously changing the variable /:secs by /:hours or /:mins

davdesigndate = new Date();
/:hours = davdesigndate.gethours();
/:mins = davdesigndate.getMinutes();
/:secs = davdesigndate.getSeconds();
if ( /:secs < 10) {
/:secs = &quot;0&quot;+/:secs;
}
/:fulldate = new Date( year, month, date, hour, min, sec, ms );

;-)

 

[oldnewbie]

davdesigndate = new Date();
/:hours = davdesigndate.gethours();
if ( /:hours < 10) {
/:hours = &quot;0&quot;+/:hours;
}
/:mins = davdesigndate.getMinutes();
if ( /:mins < 10) {
/:mins = &quot;0&quot;+/:mins;
}
/:secs = davdesigndate.getSeconds();
if ( /:secs < 10) {
/:secs = &quot;0&quot;+/:secs;
}
/:fulldate = new Date( year, month, date, hour, min, sec, ms );
