Thanks again, Marcelo!
The DST Policies scheme works wonderfully. Brilliant!
I'm sure I read somewhere that you need to delete the Date object once you
are done with it. Otherwise it will persist in memory. Have you noticed any
memory leaks associated with these calcs?

try and get back at it very quickly.

Hi Corban,
Yes, I've been working on mine. I really want to thank Marcelo for the
timezones array. Very helpful! Where did that come from?
I have worked out a mechanism for applying Daylight Savings Time rules. Now
all I need is the data, by location, to pass in.
Note to Jim Berkey: First,
Note to Jim Berkey: First, thank you for the link. Nice touch with the
iconic location graphics. Second, I'm getting a 404 for the worldclock
source file. Just FYI.

Hi Jim,
Thanks again!
Is it just me (Flash 8) or does anybody else get the 'Unexpected File

What version of Flash was your worldclock.fla created in?

I took that data from various sources. I'm using that for my own clock
too, and also have a function that, taking a position (first, second,
third, etc), a month and day can calculate the real date when a DST
occurs (for example, you feed first Friday of may or last Monday of
December and

for more accuracy, youll need to have the time from the server. this should
be simple to do with any server side language. in
Hi,
This thread inspired me to prototype my own world clock. And, yes the Date
object does provide the means to convert local time to remote time IF you
have the remote location's GMT offset value to plug in. I think this is the
data Corban was asking after. http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/ and
Something like this?
private static var timeZones:Array = [
[-1, Azores,Brazil Atlantic Islands,Cape Verde,Greenland
Scoresbysun,Guinea Bissau],
[-2, Antarctica],
[-3, Argentina,Brazil East, French Guiana, Greenland,
Guyana,St Pierre Miquelon,Suriname,Uruguay],
Just wanted to know where I could get the data to code world clocks in
flash. Since flash works off the system clock am I able to get the time zone
or do I need to use a web service that is available to make this happen?
