ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Countdown - How To Get Last Day Of Month Through PHP
Jan 30, 2008
I found a great flash countdown script through a tutorial, here is the action script-
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var todayate = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
var currentTime = today.getTime();
var targetDateate = new Date(currentYear,11,25);
[Code] .....
This works fine. However, I am attempting to change the targetDate by retrieving the last day of the month and counting down to that. Right now it counts to christmas. I know how to get the last day of the month through PHP, so I was thinking I could send the variables to the flash document and somehow replace 11,25 with $n (which is the month variable in my php) ,$lastday .
Here is the PHP Code:
$m = date('m');
$n = date('n');$month = date('F');
$y = date('Y');
$find = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 0, $y);
$lastday = strftime("%d", $find);
print "&n=$n&lastday=$lastday";
I have tried loading the php file and then placing a variable in.
Im trying to design a countdown timer, with the ability to set the countdown time through buttons.I would like to have the dynamic text field to display the countdown numbers in HH:MM:SS format.I would also love to have a 30 minute button, and a 15 minute button which generates the time in the text field.Then a start and stop button to begin or end the countdown sequence.
I am using this code to get the months off of the users computer and it then highlights what ever day it is, also it is dynamic. However what if I would like to call up a just july or just november. I know how to make arrows that get the next month in the sequence but my question is could I change the script to just get a month of my choosing?
I have a countdown to a specific date. Mine is 31st of december 2009. But I want a number related to the countdown. So it starts with lets say 8000.Now I have the number related to the amount of days. 62 is 8000, 61 is 7500, 60 is 7000... etc. When you enter the page it checks the countdown date and relates a starting number, every 3 sec. the number goes decreases. I want to add an action to every countdown. I know there must be a better way of coding this...
The best would be that the number decreases realtime, so everytime you go to the page number changes... Does anybody know a good way of doing this or provide a related tutorial link ? I really tried to find an example, but every countdown tutorial is related to time only....
Code: onEnterFrame = function() { var today:Date = new Date(); var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
i have a big assignment to schedule in the end of the month/ i've made a game which made of pictures and videos (flv), and when i've inserted the third flv movie i tried to test my project. and when i have exported it, it reaches the end and just doing nothing: no errors, no file, just nothing. my project is on 1920X1080 resolution, i have 23 videos of 10 seconds each, that i need to insert, and the quality is 1500 bits.the first two inserted movies succeeded, but from the third and above, nothing happend.
I was wondering if there is a way to do a countdown in flash?I think something like hours til thing get.myHours(or something)and so on.but I don't know all the correct stuff to use and everything.
i have complex XML structure i want get all descendents uisng some xml paren.child.@attribute representation For example
[Code]...
Suppose i want get all xml nodes with month.task.@target how can i implement this, I mean i only give input as "month.task.@target" and the return should be XMLList containing all node that have same structure
I'm trying to figure out the code for an AS3 Calendar, does anyone here know how to get the day of the week the month starts on? I've seen examples on php but not in as3!
In my site I need to have the date available for viewers. I know how to display the date of the user and I would like to create an onion skin animation for each separate chatacter(yes, I know how to create an onion skin animation but not how to do it separate for each character). My problem is this: I want to display the name of the month, not the number. Now I want each character animated separately in the date animation. for example:
S would appear with an onion skin animation, then about a quarter second later all the other characters with the same animation, E, P, T, E, M, B, E, R, [space], 2, 4, [space], 2, 0, 0, 2. How can I code actionscript so that I can do this with the user's date? Sorry for my lack of description, its late and I can't think well.
My timer counts down from 60 to zero. I want my movie to go to the next frame at zero count. How would I make a condition to go from frame 1-2? I need to find the right operator and values, but I get lost in the strings.
What I am trying If (something is <> == true false); gotoAndPlay(2); stop(); // var timer:Timer = new Timer(100, 300); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown); [Code] ....
I'm making several experiments like this to understand conditionals. I need to build objects that function similar to preloaders.
I used a tutorial on this site to make a flash countdown. It is very close, but all the numbers are changing the same and I don't know actionscript enough to know what is going on. Mike woops, here is the flash file: apple.education.uwec.edu/webusers/dodgema/myCountdown.fla
Setting the month directly to February via setMonth(1) actually sets the month to March.
Here's the code in question: function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}var d:Date = new Date(); d.setMonth(1); trace(d.getMonth());
That will trace "2" in the output. Setting the month to 0.9 will output "0", and setting the month to 1.1 will still output "2". It seems all other months are fine, except this one.
Is there any Flex control to select months (any)? Right now I'm using a DateField and allow the user to select any date in a month to select that month.
is there a custom component that extends DateChooser that only has the month and year but not the date grid to select a specific day. All i need is the month and year not any specific day. if the month is changed i could use the change event to select the 1st day of that month
I am builder a graph that is going to cover an entire month. The user may change the Month/Year but there is no point in choosing a date for the month as it is going to show the entire month anyways. So is there a way to maybe make the DateChooser date always the first and only allow the user to pick the month and year?
I want a to user a DateChooser to allow a user to select a date in a given month and year. I want to set the month and year programmatically and only allow the user to select the date/day. I can do this for the year easily by setting the minYear and maxYear to whatever year I want, but I am not seeing a strait forward way of disallowing the user to select a different month?
I'm using the MX DateField control in Flex and want to display the date as 01 Jul 2011 or 01 July 2011. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried setting the formatString to "DD MMM YYYY" but it didn't work.
I was hoping you could help me with how to get the 22nd day of the previous month based on the current month you are in. Then, I would like to create a DataChooser and set it's start date to this date.
I have five images on five different frames in my example. I always want to display the first two images (frames 1 and 2), but only show 3, 4 or 5 depending on the current month.
If it is January, I want to display frame 3 and then loop back around to frames 1 and 2. If February, frame 4 and loop back to frames 1 and 2, etc.
Right now I'm just testing it with a "4" for the month hard-coded in and it just plays the whole slideshow.
So, I have the following actionScript for frame 3:
I am getting a problem when I try to get the days of a month here is my function:
ActionScript Code: function days(year, month) { var thisMonth = new Date(year, month); var nextMonth = new Date(year, month+1); var Ndays = ((((nextMonth-thisMonth)/1000)/60)/60)/24; return Ndays; }
In september and november I get 31 days. I didn't try yet the Math.round but I want to know if there is a better way to do this?
I am trying to find a way to use the date object to check the day of the month. If is the 23rd then play if not, do nothing. I looked at the date countdown tutorial, but I don't need to display the information just check the date. even if I hid the countdown info, once I hit the 23rd I am out of luck till the first of the next month, the "alarm" stays. Think of what I need as a date alarm, if it is the 23rd the alrm goes off, if it is not, then it is business as usual (this is tied into an analog clock that is supposed to have a monthly reminder for the 23rd). Getting the clock to work was cake, but I just can't get this "alarm" to work for me.
i have a menu http[url]....that i want to have the month and day stay highlighted depending what page you are on. you will have to check it out to see what i am talking about
the menu sits on an asp page so the whole site is not all in flash but when someone clicks and month and day i want it to stay colored in even after they are taken to that page. i know their has to be a way to do this without making a menu for each month.
To have displayed recurring events display for a week before they occur example: the church has a "holy communion service" on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month at 10:10am then a "holy communion service" on the 2nd & 4th Sunday at 8:30am
on a month with a 5th Sunday "holy communion service" is at both 8:30am & 10:10am
I was wondering if you guys can help me creating a daily countdown ticker? Like 100 days, 99 days, etc. without me having to go in and change the dates everyday.
