how to set a server based swf clock that follows host servers time

Question

I host an SWF clock on my server, the problem is I can't set it to follow the host servers time, instead it follows the clock on my pc, is there a way for me to make the clock follow the server time?

this is the link for the clock

Answer 1

SWF is executed on the client so if the clock calls a method that determines the current time it is gonna be the time on the client. That said, it is of course possible to build a clock which follows the server time. For that, a service on the server needs to provide the current time information and send it to the client.

A related idea is adjusting the time found on the client with that on the server only once and then displaying client time + adjustment, see for instance Get the difference between a server side time and client side time and display it
