Here is what I would use to get the current time on the users computer.



myDate = new Date();


Then use this to test it out in the Output Window.

trace(myDate);

Make a text field and for the Instance Name ; put "myDate".

Basically you would create a poll on a serverside file (using LoadVars or
whatever) that passes the time as a variable to Flash. Lots of tutorials out
there on getting external data into Flash.
