Adding dynamic text to a movie

Adding the time to a movie

The Japanese phone players are designed to be used as screen savers (machiuke) if need be and for that reason the time may be displayed in any text object if need be. The up todate time can be added to a movie by defining a text item on any layer which contains just the two characters "t%". There should be no other characters and no new lines. When previewing the time should be correctly displayed as it would be by the player. All players support this option.

The current time will be displayed in 24 hour format every time this text is refreshed, In order to ensure that the refresh takes place the movie should have some event occur on a time line at least once a minute or the movie should loop at least once a minute.

Adding GSM data

In the J-Phone player the characters "%l" when used as the text will be substituted with current location name. It will be blank all other players.
