I'm trying te load tour-dates from an XML-file into Flash using XMLConnector and a DataSet. So far...no problems. Now I want to filter out all dates prior to the current date.
View 1 RepliesI have a XML file with a few concert dates. In my flash/AS3 file, I would like to show only the up coming event, relative to current date. Like this:
Event 01: 30-05-2010
Event 02: 02-06-2010
Event 03: 05-06-2010
Today is 28-05-2010, so I need to list Event 01. On 01-06-2010 I need to list Event 02. I have the basic AS3 code for listing the XML working, but I'm having trouble filtering the result.

View 14 RepliesI'm working in CS4 and using ActionScript 2.0.I need to display a date that is five days in the future and a date that is five days in the past based on whatever the current date is on the user's system. The dates must be in the format M/D/YYYY.After much struggling, I figured out how to make the current date display by creating a dynamic text box named showtoday in a movie clip and adding the following ActionScript to the movie clip:[code](Please mentally replace the silly smiley face with a colon followed by a capital D.)Can anyone tell me where to go from here to add or subtract five days from the current date?

I'm currently working in Flash mx 2004 and am creating a version of 'what happened in history today'. So my final layout will have the following iobjects.
Heading: 'current date'
Title: 'On this day in History'
Text box: Which displays the right description from a text file. history.txt
Image box: which displays a pic related to the current date.
I know basic Flash but have been playing around for ages am having real trouble getting things to work correctly. The main priority is to get the text loaded based on the current date. I have an images folderwhere the pictures are stored with files names related to date i.e. 14feb.jpg and my history.txt file is set out with a line for each date. i.e., 14feb=Valentines Day etc.
I need to be able to subtract 2hrs ,8hrs, 1 day and 1 week from the current Date.Then convert to yyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format.So far I have been unsuccessful.What is the proper method to do this in actionscript?
View 3 Replieshow to control the display of pictures by date?
I want to display images based on the date. Then it changes to the next one. For example for March it would be picture: img01.jpg and for April I would like the flash movie to automatically load the next picture: img02.jpg.
If I have my date field/chooser set to show today (current day will be highlighted when selecting a date) can I disable the user from choosing dates that fall before the current day?
PHP Code: <mx:DateField id="choosedate" showToday="true"
This is from the adobe live docs. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to change it to suit what I've stated above. Or maybe it's done a completely different way...

Do you know any way to compare a date to a range of date using the Date class in as2.
For example i want to know a given day (11-12-2009) is among the start and end date of a given range (11-01-2009 to 11-20-2009).
My setting: I receive an xml as a String, and I need to bind this xml to dataset.I know how to do it if the xml is stored on some url as i use the xmlConnector which in turn binds to DataSetHowever, I do not know how to feed the xml string to xmlConnector or in turn how to directly bind XML object to DataSet.
View 1 RepliesSeeing as the Access database solution I spent 2 days developing won't work without a web server with IIS installed. I am developing a data storage solution binging my text input component directly to a dataset and hopefully storing the entire dataset using a local SharedObject.
I have 2 text input components both bound to the dataset. For one these components I only ever want to store one record (i.e. the last good known voucher number). So right before I add a new value (using the code below) I want to delete the old value in that column/row combination.[code]...
I looked at the following example in the AS3 Reference: [URL] It is unclear to me looking at the package example how to apply this in standard ActionScript 3 without packages to a Movie Clip resident in my Library that gets called at RunTime. how I would push the DropShadow filter onto my Movie Clip at RunTime?

View 1 RepliesTo achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?

View 1 RepliesI'm exploring various ways to get data into a DataGrid component from a remote service. I've managed to use DataGlue to map my results to different fields the DataGrid, however what I'd like to do is use the component inspector to and bindings. The Problem i have is that I want to display only certain fields. so in the remoting connector i have this set up conn::results.items.[n].id => grid::dataProvider.[n].identifier Now I would assume that my grid would show the id in the results returned but it doesn't. I've seen a lot of posts on this so I know there are a lot of others puzzled by this.
View 1 RepliesI need to make a point in a Flash video where the video stops and pressing a button will move to another frame.

View 1 RepliesI have an old swf, perhaps created prior to player 7.When I load this swf into a newly created swf it no longer works as expected. I suspect that it is because it was created with _root used to scope variables.I applied _lockroot to the container MC that loads the old swf but this does no good. I suspect this is because the old swf was created prior to player 7 and _lockroot does not work with these.Now to the question. Is there anything I can do to get a swf created prior to player 7 to work with _lockroot?
View 3 Repliesusing the following code i am trying to get a movieclip to reposition itself prior to loading an image. Then once the new image is loaded - the other movieclip will reposition itself. Currently, the functions are cancelling each other out - b/c the one function is within an onEnterFrame - take a look:
Code:
holderHitMC.onRelease = function() {
holderMask.newY = -854;
if (holderMask._y == -854) {
[Code]...
As you can see - i have a button with an onRelease command telling the movieclip to reposition - then onEnterFrame once the file is fully loaded the movieclip should return. The problem with this is that it does not allow the movieclip to move for the onRelease b/c the onEnterFrame is saying to go to the other position. If i add the delete this.onEnterFrame the movieclip - on future loads will reposition for the onRelease fuction but will not return.
