Does anyone know if it's possilbe to set a clock (not the system one) to a specific time. I've seen the setMinutes etc but these appear to relate to date rather than a clock object...or am I confusing things.

reading the Date script functions, you should be able to create MyDate= new Date(), then use set and get methods to control it. I assume it will then increment like the system date, but I haven't tried it

Cheers for the idea.

I tried but the date is static and has to be incremented manually. Even in a basic loop, with a wait(1), the clock would lose a fraction of a second every minute.

Solved.

Started a ticker on page show. Use a control variable to pause / tick. When CV is set to tick, 1 is added to a variable. Thus the variable counts up at a speed of 1 sec.

Created a base 10 to base 60 convertor. Used a constant expression that passed based 10 to aforementioned function and return a formated base 60 expression. Works great and solved my saving the clock problem.

Hope this helps someone else.
