Hello.. here come my 1st question.. i'm thinking of adding in AI in my software in order to look more advance.. For example, the animated farmer will greet the children "good morning" when the children play the game in the morning and greet "good afternoon" when they are playing the software in the noon..

Other than tat.. i hope to appear the farmer in randomly.. means tat when the children play the software, they till have different greeting from the farmer..

How could i do tat?

Feel free to start a new topic for a new question.

You could use the date object to check the time of day.
Something like this maybe:

now = new Date;
var hour = now.getHours();
if &#40;hour<12&#41;&#123;
	trace&#40;"good Morning"&#41;;
&#125;else if&#40;&#40;hour>=12&#41;&&&#40;hour<19&#41;&#41;&#123;
	trace&#40;"Good Day"&#41;;
&#125;else&#123;
	trace&#40;"Get to bed!"&#41;;
&#125;

you may want to use a case setup, but the idea is the same. Just replace the trace with whatever the farmer needs to do.

thanks for the coding, taff.. but hey, taff.. the coding tat u sent me, can be apply in Flash?? other than that..

Code:
now = new Date;
var hour = now.getHours();
if (hour<12){
trace("good Morning");
}else if((hour>=12)&&(hour<19)){
trace("Good Day");
}else{
trace("Get to bed!");
}


the good morning, good day n get to bed! can be change randomly anot? like greet "How do u do!", "Hello, children"... something liddat??

That coding is for flash yes....try making a new flash movie and place that code on the time line.
Currently it traces out the time of day...i.e. in the flash tester it opens the output window and prints the relevant bit. This will be of no use to you in aproper swf, you will need to make a textfield give it an instance name and then use something like:

now = new Date; 
var hour = now.getHours(); 
if &#40;hour<12&#41;&#123; 
timeOfDay="Good Morning";
&#125;else if&#40;&#40;hour>=12&#41;&&&#40;hour<19&#41;&#41;&#123; 
timeOfDay="Hi Kids!";
&#125;else&#123; 
timeOfDay="Shouldn't you be in bed?";
&#125; 

//myText is the instance name of the textField
myText.text=timeOfDay;

Good Luck!
