Bet NO-ONE can solve this problem - Flash Clocks

[HyperGlobalMeganet]

Im In New Zealand, and all clocks made in Flash 5 are all an hour or 2 hours fast!! I cannot find out how to fix the problem! Here is an example.

I think it is due to daylight savings time but I am not sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have had people try this clock from overseas, like Pakistan and Canada, and the time is fine there, just anyone here in NZ shows a different time.

Thanks

Well, works fine here in Montréal, Canada. What should I do move to NZ?
If it's 2 hours off can't you just substract 2 hours in the script?
Does you system time on the computer show the right time?

[HyperGlobalMeganet]

LOL... you could move here... heheheh

I could deduct 2 hours from the script, but then it would be wrong overseas. e.g. the clock you look at would be wrong

 

[oldnewbie]

Tell me something are these clocks right for you?

GREAT!!

the first link... the clock is fine
the second link... the clock is an hour fast

lol

 

[oldnewbie]

Well maybe not so great! The first one is not a Flash clock!

So are you saying you're not using daylight savings time in NZ?

ldnewbie

 

[HyperGlobalMeganet]

We do use daylight savings time here in NZ. Is there anyway to adapt that java clock to be used on a flash movie?

 

[oldnewbie]

Could be... although I get the same time here from both!
So what might the point be?
Do you have a link to your clock's .fla or one to the orignal .fla?
Or can you e-mail it to me at oldnewbie@hotmail.com

that fla file is from the Macromedia Extentions page... go there, login/signup with a macromedia login. Then search for the Clock... theres 2 of them. Both of them dont work for me... as they display the time an hour fast. I can send it to you as im at work at the moment training Windows XP, gonna be here for another 4 hours.

 

[oldnewbie]

How about these... Are they right down under?

Ive found a link!! the ones that work are made in Macromedia Flash 4!! Wonder why that happens?

 

[oldnewbie]

Well use those!
And maybe upgrade to the Flash 5 player! LOL
BTW, what browser are thou using?

And... do I win my trip to NZ? Helped a FOXY LADY from NZ a few weeks ago... I woudn't mind meeting her!

ldnewbie

 

[HyperGlobalMeganet]

lol

I am using the latest upgraded flash 5 player... what i mean, is that the only ones that work, is the ones made in flash 4 not 5, the ones made in 5 are wrong. I am using IE and netscape... they display the same.

 

[oldnewbie]

Well they're all the same to me here! That is right on the nose!
Is there a NZ triangle? Or maybe it's got something to do with magnetic fields or something! LOL

And my trip?

ldnewbie

 

[HyperGlobalMeganet]

I would offer you a trip... lol... i need to win lotto first.

I think it is due to Daylight savings time.

 

[oldnewbie]

Ok! Cheers!
