ActionScript 2.0 :: Loadmovie On Paticular Dag(s)/week(s)?
Sep 25, 2007
I have a Flash header on my site, and I'd like to be able to (preferably via XML) load an external SWF on top of it, and for a paticular amount of days.In other words, I have my main Flash header (eg. HEADER.SWF), and I'd like to load an external SWF (eg. EXTRA.SWF) on top, that has a very basic animated circle with some text on it. And one time I might like it to be there for 2 days, and other times I'd like it to stay there for a whole week.

I've been trying to figure out a code for the last week or so and I have had no luck . I'm trying to make an event.listerner in actionscript 3.0 that detects for a "S" key and then opens a new url with a separate swf. file upon the pressing of the "S".

How can I get the current calendar week with AS3 ? I've not found any information by using the official adobe online-reference[URL] or using google's web search.

Say for instance you have a weekly competition and the next draw for the competition is on the 29 January 2010, how would I create a weekly updater so that once the 29th January arrives the following friday "date" is displayed.

I'm working on a lil' animated weekly meal plan that'll be played in my school's cafeteria. It gets the meal info from an external text file that the staff update every weekend for the coming week.Preface: I know my way around Flash relatively well, but don't have any formal training or much experience with Action Script.
What I would like to do is to automatically highlight the meals for the current day via Action Script. It drives me crazy that I know this is possible, most likely not overly complex, and that I've got all the basic elements assembled already.The problem is that I don't know the Syntax that would allow me to put it all together and get it working.I can create an array for the days of the week and trace the result, like so:
ActionScript Code:
var days:Array = ["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"];
var my_date:Date = new Date();
trace(days[my_date.day]);
Now I'd like to take the result, number representing the day of the week, and see if that is the current day. If so, I'd like this result to cause the alpha of my background MC to change (I'm doing this via TweenMax):
ActionScript Code:
if day == 0 //Day is Sunday
TweenMax.to(bg0, 2, {alpha:0.9}); // change the alpha of "bg0" to 0.9
else
[code]....
And lastly, since the computer running the swf is being turned off every night and back on every morning I don't really need this run at a certain interval (i.e. every 24 hours), correct?

I making a flash contact form for reservations. I dragged the DateField component onto the stage, gave it an instance name of rDate_txt and it works great in picking a date and sending to my php emailer. Its formatted like 10 Apr 2008.Now, Im trying to calculate the day of the week based on the date. I can calculate todays date with...
Code:
myDate = new Date();
daytext = myDate.getDay();
switch (daytext)
{
[code]....
get the date chosen from the DateField component?Once I get the day of the week, I need to make a different ComboBox visible if its a Friday or Saturday. So I would think I need to set up an onchange listener?

I was looking for a way to shuffle a deck of cards last week and I was provided with some code to do so. I decided a straight shuffle would work better with my project than randomizing coordinates (as I was doing). I'm trying to implement the code, and I think I'm pretty close, but I'm running into a few snags. I'm using Shuffle.as as my document class, and another external class called Card.as to control the flipping and drag action of my cards. At the moment, I'm getting this message when I try to run the swf: 1084: Syntax error: expecting leftbrace before Deck. I think this is indicative of an error somewhere else in my code, but I'm not sure where. Do you see anything upon first glance?

I could not find a method in Flex Date object to get the week of year (1 to 52)
What is the best way to find this? Is there any useful library for flex for such date operations like JodaTime in Java.

I'm sure there's a simple method or function out there to do this (at least I'm hoping there is). I want to return the name of a day of the week for a specific date using ActionScript.
For example, if I provide "2/2/2011" as a parameter, it should return "Wednesday". What's the best way to make this happen?
While both of them will work, I'm curious to know if anyone can think of a reason why one would be preferred over the other.

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

If I'm given a month and a year, how can I calculate what day of the week that month started on?
My end goal is to write a method that takes a month and a year and returns an array of dates for each Sunday in that month (ex: 7,14,21,28).

I'm using a CartesianChart with a DateTimeAxis to display weekly data in a Flex application.When I set dataUnits="weeks" and labelUnits="weeks" on the DateTimeAxis, it automatically places each major tick on a Sunday. However, I would like to provide users with the option of beginning the week on a Sunday or a Monday. How can I ask the DateTimeAxis to instead place the major ticks on a Monday (or some other day of week)?For example, if the user is looking at total sum of something over the week, and requests that weeks start on a Sunday, the Series data would look like:
x: Date(July 11, 2010) y: 25
x: Date(July 18, 2010) y: 30
x: Date(July 25, 2010) y: 32

I am really stuck with a loadmovie action that I cannot find the solution to. I have a website that I had to split up as the loading time was too long. I have used a loadMovie function and it loads the external movie but the problem is that the external movie requiring a little bit of time to load I want a preloader to come first.
I have attached screenshots of this (wssmain liks to the arch_mc1) . The problem is that the movie loads but the preloader doesn't play. Anybody has any ideas why?
The first screenshot shows the wssmain whereas the second (preloader2) shows the arch_mc1. If the fla files are required I will make them available for download.

I load my external image into emptymc which is inside mc_container:loadMovie("myimage.jpg", mc_container.emptymc); //placed on main timeline.This works fine. However when I go to a different frame within mc_container(specifically a frame without an instance of "emptymc") emptymc gets unloaded. As soon as I go back to a frame containing "emptymc" it no longer has the jpg.Is there a way I can keep the jpg loaded in emptymc without having to load it again?

I've been trying to load a simple .swf (home.swf) and have it play automatically on my existing fla project (as2). These are the steps I have taken.. 1) create MC, named "holder" 2) within first frame of MC, entered in.. loadMovie("home.swf","holder"); Nothing is showing, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If you can help, I can send you the files I'm working with.

I am working on my first flash website and have been working on loadMovie & unloadMovie. The commands have been working for me and it will load & unload the external .swf in a contentHolderMC. The problem that I am encountering is the loaded .swf width is correct but the height is being reduced, I would guess to about 75%. Is there a way to maintain the external .swf's size? Even if I need to put the code into the external .swf.
I have tried creating a mask inside the contentHolderMC to match the size of the external .swf. When I have looked around for clues to the resizing, I am finding tutorials on how to resize the external .swf into a smaller Movie Clip. That's not what I am trying to do.

Code:

I have mc with isntance name: clip1 The movie second.swf loads into the position of clip1 but it's originally very big and I want it to make it smaller so it will fit to my site, if possible i would also like it not to be resizeable (so when someone will have smaller browser window it wouldnt move)

I'm making a game where every level is a separate swf. The problem is, when each level starts, it doesn't load entirely before displaying on the screen, and gives me unpredictable results. I also don't want load waits between each level.Is there some way to do all my loadMovie's at the start, loading them into some place where they wont actually be on the stage, and then calling them out one by one as you play each level of the game?

I'm having a problem loading a external.swf from another folder outside of my main.swf. This external.swf is being loaded into a empty.swf movie clip. It works when the external.swf and the main.swf are in the same folder, but when i place the external.swf into a images/folder and change the action toloadMovie ("images/external.swf", "main"); it no longer works. Did i target it wrong?

I'm not much of a flash programmer, and am a bit lost. What I want to do is the following. I'll have a SWF with two layers, which is being called from a PHP page on my site. The top layer is just an invisible button, and I'd like it to link to a URL that I provide from the PHP page. The bottom layer I would like to load a separate SWF file, whose path I can also provide from the PHP page. I have the URL and the SWF path working just fine in PHP, but I don't know how to pass those values to flash, or how to get loadMovie to work like I want it. Can anyone provide some guidance?
