How do I trigger an event in Adobe Animate based on the current time?

I am not exactly sure what your trying to do, but try this tutorial. It's a timer and shows you how to trigger an event.

Timer Class in AS3

Hi.

If I understood correctly what you want, your code could be something like this:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function hourToFrame(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    var date:Date = new Date();
    var hour:uint = date.hours; // 'date.hours' is an integer from 0 to 23
   
    // here we limit the value to the 12-hour clock format
    if (hour > 11)
        hour = hour - 12;
   
    numbers.gotoAndStop(hour); // 'numbers' is the 12 frames Movie Clip instance
}
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hourToFrame);

Hi

I moved your query from Adobe Creative Cloud to Adobe Animate where you will get a better response.
