Flash Tutorial: Adding time/date stamp in Flash

Learn how to display the system date and time using dynamic text fields in Flash with this short Flash tutorial.

Editor’s review:

Very short Flash tutorial that shows how to have the systems date and time display in Flash. Not the easiest Flash tutorial to follow, and it’s definitely lacking on explanation, but if you are looking to have the date and time display in your Flash projects, this is a great way to do it.

Note: if you are using copy/paste, all the quotes use smartquotes (can be aggravating for beginners), so you will need to swap in regular quotes. Also, there is a typo where it reads month[datedispay.getMonth()]. It is missing an “l” in display, should read: month[datedisplay.getMonth()].
