Flash - anyone seen this?

[Oni]

Has anyone seen a tutorial/script so the flash background on your site depending on the time it is eg midnight it would be black whereas in the day it would be sunny?

[iTechnical]

Ugh!
I saw that not so long ago.
It uses the action script to runoff your windows click.
I'll see if I can find it for you.

Isn't that just with php, or combine php with flash ?

like



$date = time(); //set the time script here
$morning = "set certain time";
$noon = "set certain time";
$evening = "set certain time";
$night = "set certain time";

if($date == $morning){
echo("bg_morning.jpg");
}elseif($date == $noon){
echo("bg_noon.jpg");
}elseif($date == $evening){
echo("bg_evening.jpg");
}elseif($date == $night){
echo("bg_night.jpg");
}else{
echo("bg_standard.jpg");
}


or something.. just an idea of how I would -try- and do it.

time is bad as it updates every second, making it impossible.

Hi,

I want to show you this awsome example, how to create time sensitive background for your web page.So, if the time is 10:00 the background=day and if the time is 22:00 the background=night.

That's all.Now test your *swf movie clip with changing the time on your computer.Enjoy!

I think it's a program much like Macromedia Flash 8 proffesional.
But less advanced I think.

onFrame (1) { is definatly not a function ;), hmm although I think it still should work without it

[iTechnical]

I swear it is,
you use it in preloaders?

time() won't work. All time() does is echo the amount of seconds since the UNIX Epoch (1st January 1970). The output is something like '113235235'.

I cant get any of it to work :( I dont think it does, onframe isnt a recognised piece of actionscript.
