For a MUS server I run, a server side script is managing a bunch of Flash movies which get 'broadcast' to a shockwave chatroom according to a time frame (see www.melbournefilmfestival.com.au, if you are interested). The server shouldn't be restarted at any point, so the milliseconds will overflow. I've been using (the systemDate).seconds on the server without any problems (I don't need millisecond accuracy). I haven't noticed what happens to the #timeStamp property, but I'll keep an eye on the #timeStamp over the next few days and let you know what happens Luke ---------------------------------------------------------------- | Mecca Medialight | http://www.meccamedialight.com.au/ | | Lingo Resources | http://www.lingoworkshop.com/ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
