var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, clockHandler);
timer.start();

function clockHandler(event:TimerEvent)
{

// set hour
var time = new Date();
var hourHand = time.getHours();
var minuteHand = time.getMinutes();
var secondHand = time.getSeconds();

hourHand_.rotation = 30 * hourHand + minuteHand / 2;
minuteHand_.rotation = 6 * minuteHand;
secondHand_.rotation = 6 * secondHand;
}

my code is 31 times optimized than yrs (if the fps is set to 31) ^_^

2 author >> this.addEventListener(“enterFrame”,clockHandler);
I’d adviced u to use Timer class usage with a 1000 ms timeout.
For example: i have a 31 fps movie, which means yr script will update the timing 31 timer per second = no need 4 that.
