You could always prompt your user to enter their city if your needing

the city by ip can also get a little misleading since ips can be spoofed or
you could end up getting their ISPs ip or if it's a virtual machine. But
that's my experience. Someone may have a solution I'm not aware of.

Gets the timezone like CST or America/Chicago for example based on local

Or is that not what your wanting?

Hi All,
I'm making a screensaver / air app of a clock and one of the desired

For example my clock is set to GMT and London, but I could set it to
Eastern Daylight Time and the city to New York or Miami.
Does anyone know if it is possible to grab the city selected
associated
with the time of the computer? (I'm on a mac, not sure if the setup
is the

RE: [Flashcoders] Get Timezone City?
Hi David,
The IP address could work if your Air has access to that. I don't know much
about it, but for a web project I worked on a few years ago, the SEO people
used the IP to determine the user's country and redirect according to that
(Ireland or US site). I think they were using some kind of Geo-IP database
service for this.
