exposed area of the bottom movie clip? Let's say that there's a large circle

Posted by jeddhorvath at 12/1/2006 6:00:11 PM
Folks, I need my swf to make some date-based calculations, but I want it to get
the real, honest-to-god date, not the user's system clock via getDate().
Clearly I need a server-side script to return a var string to the swf with the
