Basic Date/Time Display

Hello All,

I am new to Flash/Animate and I have built a Date/Time module for our digital signage system at work. It works well when I preview it and I am able to open it in several different browsers locally, but when I push it to the player, it blinks. Can anyone guide me in the right direction as to what I have done wrong? We have an .SWF file that was given to us by the manufacturer of the system that works great, but we needed to change a few details. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the .FLA used to create the working file, so I built this one from scratch. The players use Internet Explorer to display Flash animations. Please let me know if there is any more info you need from me.

Thanks,

-John
