I am making a one hand clock as a present fo a friend of mine.
It's not very difficult but it should be nice if the clock automaticly
set itself in the right position.
It needs a script to set the arm in the right position

For those who don't know a one hand clock, there is only one hand
that goes in one hour from let's say 3 to 4, and so on.
It takes 43200 seconds for the arm to make 12 hours.

Who can help me with a script that sets the arm in the right position depending
on the system time.

Thanks,

It's so long ago I can't even remember how I did it but the hour hand in this imp should give you the 12 hour clock...
good luck!

I revisited this to remind myself what I did...

the hour hand is in the top half of a frame called hours (Which is itself inside a fixed frame called 'clockface')
On page show a script runs to establish current time and sets the angle of hours to display the current hour.
On show frame hours is set to rotate once every 43200 secs.
script for setting time is:
-----------------------------------------------
var myDate = new Date()
var currHour = myDate.getHours()
var currMins = myDate.getMinutes()
var currSecs = myDate.getSeconds()
minangle=currMins*6
secangle=currSecs*60
if (currHour > 12)
{currHour = currHour-12
}
currHour = currHour+(currMins/60)
hourangle=currHour*30
hours.Rotate(hourangle,0.0)
minutes.Rotate(minangle,0.0)
seconds.Rotate(secangle,0.0)
------------------------------------
(these variables also control minutes and seconds obviously)

The on show action to rotate the hour frame is rotate 360 degrees continuously for duration 43200 secs (i.e. once every 12 hours)

hope this helps...

Thanks man, let's give it a try
