I have a small problem with my script, and its due to the dates in the array. I have tried writing the dates in a different way, and that works well. However I need the dates as they are now, because of an other function later on.[code]...
View 1 Replieshow to compare values of 2 dates using actionscript i executed this code in my program..
var time1:Date = new Date(Number(fromDate.substr(0,4)),Number(fromDate.substring(5,7))-1, Number(fromDate.substring(8,10)));
[Code]....
So I have 2 dates
Current Date
Event Date
Which traces
Current Date: Mon Feb 9 14:45:43 GMT-0500 2009
Event Date: Mon Feb 9 15:32:51 GMT-0500 2009
Now what I am trying to do is compare those dates and output the difference.
The dictionary use strict equals(===) for key comparison, how to change the comparison, so I can use my standard for comparison, for example, I have a class named Student:
class Student{
var id:int;
var name:String;[code]....
I want Dictionary use id to compare if the two keys are equal, not use strict equal(===) to compare if the key is the same.
Whats the best way to receive AMF dates? The queue is an array of vo objects, and some testing vars.

View 1 Repliesfor my latest task at work, oh what joy, i have to create a small banner thing which reads data from a text file... BUT... it only reads from the text file IF there is a text file present which i labeled TODAYS date!
Get todays date IF there is a file present in a certain directory which is called todays date.txt (ie. 02042006) then it reads the info in that text file and prints it into a certain area in the flash file. If there is nothing present it just displays the default stuff!!
I'm working on an application that stores conferences with their start and end date. Up until now, I was developing in Belgium and my server is in France, so everything is in the same timezone, no problem. But today, I'm in San Francisco, my server is in France and I noticed I have a bug.I'm setting dates from a Flex client (ActionScript automatically adapts date display according to client local timezone, which is GMT-8 for me today. My server runs on Hibernate and MySQL in France (GMT+1). So when I look at my database using phpMyAdmin, I see a date set to "2010-06-07 00:00:01" but in my Flex client it displays "2010-06-06 15:00:01".
Ultimately, what I want is that the dates are displayed in the local timezone of the event, which is the date I set it to. So when I'm in Belgium and I set the start date of an event to be "2010-06-07 00:00:01" I want to retrieve it that way.But I'm lost as to what layer adapts what. Is timezone stored in DATETIME MySQL columns (I can't see it in MySQL)? Does Hibernate to anything to it when it transfers it to java.lang.Date that has Timezone information?
I need to set a chart to start at midnight of the current day and end just before midnight of the next day
I'm trying to do something like this:minChartDate = currentDate.fullYear,currentDate.month,currentDate.date,0,0,0,0;
where currentDate:Date; is the day currently selected. I'm getting an implicit coercion error between the Number to Date type, as if currentDate.fullYear is a Date, but according to the documentation it should be a number. Or is my syntax defining this incorrect? Also wondering if there's a simpler way to get the min and max dates than this (the reason I am setting this is so that it starts at midnight rather than at the first data point in the series).
I'm also getting a weird error 'maximum' values of type Date cannot be represented in text.. it said I need a Date type object for the minimum and maximum so I'm really not sure what it's talking about...
I have dates in JSON which are generated from ASP.NET pages using the JSON.NET library. [code]...
How do I parse these with ActionScript from Flex 3 Professional? I'd like to have this in a native data format.
I use this script currently to determine the difference between two dates:
[Code]...
The problem with this is I want to monitor the actual physical day change so if someone accessed the application at 11:59 PM and then came back 5 minutes later this would register as a 1 day difference (a new day), this current script requires atleast 12 hours to have passed between two dates for it to register as a new day.
I have thought about using the date number etc, but because months and years are so different it is quite a complex route, there must be something simpler.
i want to create a calculater that can add scores from a scale of 1 to 10.for example, if the player gets between 0-3, he gets a point
-between 4-7, he gets 2 points
-between 8-12, he gets 3 points
when this is complete, the points are added up, depending on what the player gets, for example he scores between 4-7 and between 8-12, he gets gets 5 pionts. i can get them to add the points, but not when its between a certain value

I understand I will have to do sometime like the code above. But I don't know how to get dateBeforeCurrentDate, so that all the date from yesterday will be disabled.
I have been using a tidy little routine that I found here to calculate the difference in days between two dates in AS3. I am getting some strange results and I am wondering if any of you inter-codal-mega-lords can shed some light?

I understand that one can use local-specific ResourceBundles in combination with DateFormatters to format dates according to locale. However this is a manual process - is there an automatic way to do this or to set a default for the application?
In Java for example, all your dates will automatically appear in dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy format simply by setting the locale. In Flex, a default date output will always be in US format unless manually formatted otherwise. I'm looking for a way to get closer to the Java functionality.
When working with Date() objects in Flex/Actionscript, I'm using to following function to check for null dates. Is this the proper way to check for a null date or is there a better alternative out there?[code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm hitting a wall on this one. My script finds the difference in hours between 2 dates, however..
var data:Array = ["2011-08-30 11:19:19", "01-09-2011 02"];
var aDate:String = data[0].split(" ")[0];
var dateElements:Array = aDate.split("-");
var date1:Date = new Date();
date1.setDate(int(dateElements[2]));
[Code]...
As you can see, the date elements trace out the way they should. Now try changing the first element of the data array to "2011-08-31 11:19:19". Although the date elements are fine, the last trace gives a totally weird value. What's even weirder is that when compiling this script a second time in Flash IDE, it takes a long time to compile, then traces nothing at all, as if the script times out.
I need to sort a Flash DataGrid column (not Flex) by date. I have tried giving the date column a sort function like below:[code]But this still seems to attempt to sort the column alphabetically.
View 2 RepliesThe template has a timeline at the bottom of the page. The dates are dynamic based on the data in the boxes above it. If you have 3 boxes, one dated 2011, one 2010, one 2009 it will fill the timeline from 2009 to 2011. I want to change the timeline from numbers to text. For example, if I were to put Baseball in one box, Football in the next, and Soccer in the other I want the timeline to show:-----|----------|------------| Baseball----Football-----SoccerHere is the AS code below.M me and we can discuss them there.

I am using the Calendar Component in Flash and I wanted to be able to add events to the calendar using XML. Does anyone know how to do this?I would like to have the date with something in it to have a red background, which I think I have done using the setStyle feature, and once the date it listed I want a Hover Caption to pop up and follow your mouse while you over the date with information in it.

I have found bits of code which allows you to specify which days, but not dates. My actionscript is very beginner so I can't work out what to do.
I'm working with an AreaSeries + DateTimeAxis in Flex 4. The dates for the time axis originate from a server in another time zone. I'd like to see the graph (in my local time zone) displayed using the server's time zone.I know that I can set the DateTimeAxis.displayLocalTime property to true or false, to have dates displayed in the local or UTC time zone. But the time zone I want is neither of those.Is there a simple way to make DateTimeAxis work with another time zone? Or even a complicated way?

I'm new to action script, I've only used the script wizard so far. What I want to do if it's even possible is create a 3 drop boxes with dates to search for and either pull up or open in a dynamic text field the result .txt file, kind of like this:

I am creating daily reports for a donation program for donations given daily to go to us soldiers over sea's and I want the public to be able to pull up the date they want to look at and see what was donated on that date threw a .txt file that will be created daily and stored on the website/host _local folder.
You can find the file in the attachment. It's not the site, but it's the datechooser I use as base. I found this code and this is probably the one I need, with a little modifications. The question is: in what place do I have to insert this code and to what object I need to link it? The target is that the user can't select a day in the future.
comp.disabledRanges = [ {rangeStart: new Date(mydate.getYear, mydate.getMonth, mydate.getDay)} ];
I also found this one:
if (selectecDate > Date){
alert("This date can't be in the future");
return false
}
