    Thanks for pointing that out David. I couldn't get the ball colors right, but if any one want's a more faithful reproduction of Nelson's clock, I'd be glad to spend some more time on it.

    FWIW: The clock was designed by well-known industrial designer George Nelson. See http://www.dwr.com/product/categories/tools+for+living/clocks/nelson-ball-clock.do for a bit more info if you're curious.

    Thanks for the help, I think I've got it working now.

    Virtual Chumby loads your movie inside it's own, and overides the background colour. Do as quizengine suggests and created a coloured layer.

    McConnell - I've found that whatever you set the background to in Flash, Virtual Chumby makes it black. To have your preferred background colour, just create a white rectangle (320x240) and place it on the stage, on the lowest level (underneath everything else).

    The virtual chumby is showing this on a black background, not sure why.. It's much sharper on white.
