Re: [Flashcoders] UK time clock

You can check if the locale takes DST into account by compare the offsets of a winter day with a summer day. If they are the same the locale doesn't care about DST. If not, I would need to fix my alarm clock ;) On 22/04/2009, at 10:12 PM, Keith Reinfeld wrote: Pedro, To calculate the time

RE: [Flashcoders] UK time clock

Pedro, To calculate the time elsewhere you have to factor-in the local machine's timezone offset value. I worked out the following for my World Clock last year: // Local Time var lDate:Date = new Date(); // Elsewhere Time: London Standard Time: 0, DST: 1 var utcH:Number = 1; var utcM:Nu

Re: [Flashcoders] UK time clock

Oh... also... to answer the original post. You'll want to do something like this: 1) Figure out what Timezone the current user's computer is set to. myDate.getTimezoneOffset(); 2) The timezoneOffset is... "The minutes you need to add to the computer's local time value to equal UTC. If your comput

Re: [Flashcoders] UK time clock

Well, you can use get getTimezonOffset()-method which is the minutes different from the UTC/GMT time For example, here in The Netherlands the offset should be 120mins. This means that the Date-object will always return your so called zone-related time in Flash. After that you can remove the o

Re: [Flashcoders] UK time clock

Timezones aren't supported in the Flash Player... you only have UTC time... and then it derives your "local time" based on your computers timezone offset. I've talked about this quite a bit on FlexCoders (second half of the conversation): http://www.nabble.com/flex-date-and-timezone-td21695609.htm

Re: [Flashcoders] UK time clock

OH, there is a way to bring out zone related time in Flash? I only knew the way, that takes the time from the local computer. How'd you do it? Any tutorial or script? On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 8:31 PM, Weyert de Boer wrote: > Ain't that the same as the UTC time? As far as I know UTC time is GMT wh

Re: [Flashcoders] UK time clock

Ain't that the same as the UTC time? As far as I know UTC time is GMT which is the UK time. Of course, you need to take the daylight saving into account. Winter: UTC+0 (UTC=GMT) Summer: UTC+1 (GMT+1) On Apr 22, 2009, at 8:16 PM, Pedro Kostelec wrote: Hello Is there a way to create a clock

Hello Is there a way to create a clock that would show UK time, regardless in which time zone you are? Thanks, Pedro Kostelec ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
