Thanks. Very cool component. I just bought it.
Is there any way to make 12 hr time cycle?

Thanks.

You can add the following code in the “hours” movie clip, in 2nd frame of the Actions Layer after line 6:
```
if (hours > 12 ) { 
        hours = hours-12; 
} 
if (hours == 0) { 
        hours = 12; 
} 
```
This gives you 12hours display but the “0” will remain in the clock.
Maybe in the future to add an option for 12/24hour published file with also a am/pm symbol.

I hope this helps :)

Cool! Perfect! I like the zero being there. Very tasty!!!

I’m placing the swf on my website and Flash is asking for a password to allow??

Is there another way to load than import to stage/library?

Thanks.

Hello again,
you can go to publish settings and un-check the selection “Protect from import” on the Flash tab.

Another way is to copy/paste all the movie parts and actionscript to have it on your flash file/site. Also you could load it as external movieclip on a part of your site.

It’s up to you…
Cheers!

Thanks once again. I was just going to comment back to you to say forget the last comment, I went to publish settings and found the check box. But It’s good to know about the other ways, too.

Thanks so much. I’ll keep an eye on your components and look for more.
I appreciate your helpful follow-up and support ;-)

Very nice, but having some problems. The swf in the download opens fine, but when I try to place the swf into another .fla document, the clock appears but when it flips to the next number (say from 57 to 58), it very quickly flips back again (58 to 57) and never advances regardless of how long it has been running. I have tried both copying/pasting the movie parts + actionscript into the destination .fla document, and also by loading it as an external movieclip. I get the same problem either way?

Help??

Hello,
Is the document you try to import the file programmed with Actionscript 2 or 3?
This file works on version 2 documents, maybe this cause this problem.
Try to “Save As” the .fla file with the “Protect from import” unchecked from the Publish settings and then try again, in case it doesn’t works, probably this is the cause.

In what version of Flash are you working on?
Let me know so I can help you find a solution with your problem.

I hope this helps,
Vangelis.

Hi

My .fla document is actionscript 2. I unchecked the “protect from import” and it still does not work properly. The .swf and .html file work fine when published from your source .fla. It only seems not to work when I try to load the external swf from my .fla document. I tried loading it in a blank new doucment by creating an empty movie clip and using “loadMovie”, and it does exactly the same…. loads the .swf, but the clock does not advance. I work in CS3 but tried it on CS5 as well and it doesn’t seem to work on that either?!?!?

As I mentioned earlier, same problem when incorporating the library items + timeline + actionscript directly into my .fla document – clock doesn’t advance!?!?

Any suggestions?

Hello again,
try this:
Unlock all layers and check all frames.
Copy Frames and then go to your flash file and Paste frames on the order you want (probably on top of your file).

I’ve just tested this and works fine. Just remember, to have in the same folder the .as file with the right info for your city location.

BTW, for the UK, the country code is “EL” (comes from England) in case you have problems with that. Another customer had this problem and I’ve figured out that weather.com have this name for it’s XML data we use on this file.

I hope this helps, if you need more assistance, send me the file of yours to our company email to fix it for you.

Best regards,
Vangelis.

What is a minimum width for this component?I must use this component with width of 230px and I`m afraid if I shrink this component to 230 px that clock will not show OK in this swf file.

Best regards,
Bosko

P.S.Great component,I like it very much.Just keep with you good work. :)

Hello Bosko,
The width you see is 240px, everything except the weather icon is vector. You can decrease the size of the clock and the text and you can get maybe 200px width.
Don’t afraid of the clock appearance, it is vector, just keep the proportions and you’ll be fine.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for the comment.
Vangelis.

Hello there,
In the .as file you can change the "c" Celsius symbol to "f" Fahrenheit.
Thanks for looking.

Hi I'm from Norway and am wondering if it supports non english letters? Is it also possibe to get the weather info from a local/more accurate source like www.yr.no?

# / posted on Aug 30, 2010
vagdesign

Hi AdrenalineX, It supports UTF8 characters, so almost everything. It's not possible to get the weather info from other than weather.com and Yahoo weather. Thanks for looking!

I've been using this clock in full screen as a bedside clock that my wife can see without her glasses. However, there are two problems: 1: The weather shows the name of a neighboring town instead of the town that I typed in according to the instructions. 2: The date on the clock wont update past midnight so until I close down the clock and start it again I cannot display the correct date. 3: (This one I resolved already) It won't display the weather, says something like error reading weather. I resolved this by making an exception in the global flash setting by allowing the clock to get information from other websites.

As per my 2nd problem on my previous post, I did change it to a 12 hour clock and that may have something to do with it, also it is always running and that may have something to do with it. Either way I don't know how to program in flash so I'd like to know what needs to be changed to fix these problems

# / posted on Nov 17, 2010

Hello ironsmith, About the correct city name, isn't a problem of the clock itself. Probably the Yahoo weather or the weather.com doesn't seem to have your city correctly submitted. Please send me the .as file with the data you have inserted to check it out.

About the date roll, seems to be a bug on the latest flash player, will check it out and see what I can do.

Thanks for contacting me, best regards, Vangelis

Hello vardesign, looks great

i hope u still can help. I have a question.. is it possible to make like it can automaticly detect the persons location for weather?

thnx for ur help;!

Hello dj_ssp,

It is possible but atm there is no time to make another version with this ability, at least anytime soon. Maybe during the summer will be able to make one with auto-detect the client's location and provide the weather data. Anyway, this component was designed to provide data about a site's location weather and not a client's location.

Thanks for asking tho, regards,

Vangelis

Hello vagdesign,

I'm having a problem with this widget. I read some comments about a malfunction with the hour. It flip back 1 minute and stops when the widget is loaded from a container. My movie has 3 parent frames with a loader in each one, this widget is loaded in the second one. But after playing the movie half an hour aproximately it starts with a strange behavior. If i delete the widget, everithing works fine.

Thanks for your help! I'll apreciate it. Mauro

Hello Mauro, I don't see you on my clients list. Sorry, can't help.

Provide purchase info and will be glad to help.

I purchased this (with the commercial license) and modified the .af file as instructed, but (since I'm not very savvy with Flash) I'm not sure how to "compile it" for use. I have Flash Pro CS5 installed - could you provide some instructions on how to compile it after I change the .af file?

Any plans to update this into ActionScript 3? I am integrating it into a school intranet site which I develop in AS3. I purchased this without reading the actionscript version to find out I could not integrate it into my custom modules. :(

Hello Richardo, Maybe in the future will be updated, right now I'm out of time for this.

Thanks for asking and sorry you didn't noticed the AS version.
