The Flash Clock... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hanxter · 07-26-2003, 08:07 AM

I was looking at a friends site and saw he had a really awesome flash clock that scrolled horizontally showing year, month, date, day, hour, minute & second. Thinking that would be cool as a wallpaper I activated my Googles and went on a trek thru a bunch of garble-de-gook.

Though I didn't find the clock I was in searching for, I did find THIS!!!

Now my problemo, can someone please tell me how to install that so it's on my desk top? Thanks in advancism!!!

1)Prepare a HTML file with the Flash applet, so that it appears the way you like it in your web browser.
2)Go to Display Properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web > New
3)Choose the file you prepared in step 1)

The page you prepared will appear on your desktop. You can move/resize it, and then lock it in place when you're done.

Try stretching this over the whole desktop... a bit boring, but I am sure you can spice it up somehow:

<html>
<body bgcolor="#006666">
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="279" height="280">
<param name="movie" value="clock.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="clock.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="279" height="280"></embed></object></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

EDIT: Oh yea, this assumes that you are keeping the clock.swf file in the same folder as this html file.

That is cool. Wouldn't like it as my pointer, though.

That flash clock is VERY impressive.
