Replace Java clock with Flash

Private Joined: Sep 02, 2003 Posts: 39

I'm trying to replace the clock in the header of my theme, ClanMTS. If you look at the top left of my site, you'll see what I mean. I want to use a flash clock so it doesn't interfere with the rest of my site. I found this line in the header.php of my theme if it helps:

Code:

echo "<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF ONLOAD=\"preloadImages();\" leftmargin=\"0\" topmargin=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\"><script language=\"javascript\" src=\"themes/ClanMtS/liveclock.js\"></script>\n";

The second thing I want to do is use the same clock in a block. Here is the code for that in the block:

Code:

</script>

<script language=\"JavaScript\">
function tS(){ x=new Date(); x.setTime(x.getTime()); return x; }
function lZ(x){ return (x>9)?x:'0'+x; }
function dT(){ window.status=''; if(fr==0){ fr=1; document.write('<font size=2 face=Arial><b><span id=\"tP\">'+eval(oT)+'</span></b></font>'); } tP.innerText=eval(oT); setTimeout('dT()',1000); }
var fr=0,oT=\"lZ(tS().getHours())+':'+lZ(tS().getMinutes())+':'+lZ(tS().getSeconds())+' '\";
</script>

TIA

Any help? I just need the code that you are supposed to use when putting Flash in PHP-Nuke. It's version 6.8.

Below is the code from another flash digital clock in a block. Maybe adapt it for inclusion in the header (if thats what you meant)

Code:

die();
}

That code worked, but the clock I'm using has a white background and it doesn't look right. Doesn anyone know of a flash clock with a transparent background or one with the same background as the General block? The clock in the header doesn't seem to mess up anything, so I'm going to keep that one there.

It's in my sig. The block is on the lower right side.

the problem isn't the background, it's going to be the black font color. you need a flash clock with a light font color viewable on a black background
