First you will need a DateFormatter
<mx:DateFormatter id="formatDateTime" formatString="EEEE, MMM. D, YYYY at H:NN:SS A"/> |
[Bindable] private var time:String;
private var ticker:Timer;
public function showTime():void
{
var currentTime:Date = new Date();
this.time = formatDateTime.format(currentTime);
this.ticker = new Timer(1,1);
this.ticker.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimerComplete);
this.ticker.start();
}
public function onTimerComplete(event:TimerEvent):void
{
showTime();
}
