<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.setInterval;
private var timer:Timer;
[Bindable] private var currentTime:String;
private function init():void
timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, getdate);
timer.start();
private function getdate(evt:TimerEvent):void
var now:Date = new Date();
currentTime = now.toLocaleDateString().toString() + " | " +
now.toLocaleTimeString().toString();
