Hi All,
Thanks, as most savvy programmers have figured this is a training
exercise, an I'm learning quite a bit.
Respectfully,

Hi Chris
At the end of your code you have this now = new Date(); outside any
method
so flash doesn't know what to make with.
Those 2 lines
now = new Date();
trace ("The Time is " + formatTime(now));
seem to be here to test your formatTime method, but it has to be in
flash, not in the class, if you keep this format.
Or you can also integrate it to your constructor:
public function Hello(target:MovieClip) {
container_mc = target.createEmptyMovieClip("blah", 1);
placeGreeting();
var now:Date = new Date();
trace ("The Time is " + this.formatTime(now));
}
