ActionScript 2.0 :: MX Calculating Time Left From Input Of Date
Feb 11, 2010
I'm currently doin a project which is to make a countdown timer where a user can input a date for submitting assignments, and timer tells another user how much time is left....What type of help can people give me for AS2 Code to give me the ability to do this.

I want to calculate how much years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds I live from my date of birth and display this in flash (like live tracking). How can I do that?
The game is like Asteroids where four rocks are placed in the corners of the stage at the beginning and then start moving randomly around the stage. The problem is the timer used is started the moment that the flash file starts not the moment the player clicks the start button. So if you are on the start screen for 5 seconds before you click play when the game actually begins the rocks are where they would be after 5 seconds of play, which could be right over the player.
Im using the FLVplayback component for a project im doing. I want to add the time elapsed and time left on the controls (just like how the player on the tutorials on this site works). I dont really want to create my own controls, as im happy with the flv playback component.
How to convert UTC time into date time format in flex. I am using sdk 3.5. for example I have current date time in UTC format as 1309522586000 (milliseconds) and I want to convert it to friday jul 1 2011. How can I do this??
I am developing a game for mobile in AIR (as3). I have created some bots for this game that initially just wander around. But when a bonus enters the stage, they have to move to the bonus.The detection of a new bonus and moving of the bots works fine, but there is something wrong with the manipulation when a new bonus enters the stage.Basically, this is how it works (or I try to make it work):My bot moves along with his rotation as a parameter. (works fine)
private function moveToNextLocation():void { var angle:Number = _rotation * 0.0174532925; // 1 degree = 0.0174532925 radians var speedX:Number = Math.sin(angle) * _speed;
I'm working on creating a new look for my portfolio and had a concept.I would like have one movie clip tween in real time 365 frame increments, while another moves in real time minute or second increments.Along with this, I would like to be able to override the passage of time by scrolling an associated scrollbar.The two tweens would be independent of one another.
I've got a text input box (txt_BirthDay) that I want to enter a date into in the format dd/mm/yyyy.
I want to split the contents of that input box into 3 separate variables for day, week and month.
This works:
Code: var BirthDay:String = new String(txt_BirthDay.text); var Day:Number = Number(BirthDay.substr(0,2)); var Month:Number = Number(BirthDay.substr(3,2)); var Year:Number = Number(BirthDay.substr(6,4)); But is it the best way of doing it?
Also, How can I 'mask' the input box so it only accespts inputs in the dd/mm/yyyy format?
I need to restrict my users to input only dates with a custom format. I want to have something like this example in JQuery=BMaTiGKykl8&feature=player_embedded
I have a TextInput for a user to enter their Date of Birth. Right now they just enter a string of numbers and I parse it for the correct values but this can be very inefficient. What I am looking to do is have the TextInput automatically formatted to look --/--/---- so the user can click in it and fill in the '-' fields while leaving the '/' for formatting purposes. Does anyone know of a good way to do this?
I have looked around a lot for the answer to this, here and out on the web, I just can't believe it can't be done.I have certificates that the user fills in their name once they successfully pass the on-line course, this works and prints fine. The decided they wanted the current date and time to show up on the certificate for their records. The date and time displays correctly, but when you go to print the certificate you get the default numerals, not the date and time, once the print dialogue box goes away after printing, you can see it change back to correct day and time.
I need to create a countdown timer to a date and time. I created a timer with the following code from a tutorial online. Problem is, I can't seem to figure out how to make it countdown to a time like 8am on that date. below is teh code I am working with. can anyone help me out?
this.onEnterFrame = function() { var today:Date = new Date(); var currentYear = today.getFullYear(); var currentTime = today.getTime(); var targetDate:Date = new Date(currentYear,05,13); var targetTime = targetDate.getTime(); var timeLeft = targetTime - currentTime; var sec = Math.floor(timeLeft/1000); var min = Math.floor(sec/60); var hrs =
I can get the current date in actionscript using the Date() function, my question is, does it give the same timezone for everyone? When I use it, it gives me the current hour and everything for the Eastern Time Zone (Newyork), but I live in Georgia, so I am eastern timezone, will someone who lives somewhere else, like california, run the code (below) and tell me if the time flash displays is the current time they have on their computer, or if the hours are off... with that said, if it is the same, and flash doesn't give everyone on earth the same time, is there any code I can use to retrieve the current time in 1 time zone no matter where on earth I am when I use the code? [code]
How would I modify this source if I wanted to have a one day then expire?I would like the source to use the time and/or date the swf was launched and count down to one work for one day.
I'm sorry to ask such a stupid question but the documentation is not clear to me. And I really don't want to screw it up. I am creating a flash piece that needs to change its content based on the date eastern time. so that the content on monday 00:00:00 will be different than the content sunday 11:59:59. I have everything set up for local time ie:
Code:var currentDate:Date = new Date();
But do to legal issues involved I need to set this up so that even if the user is in Alaska the content will change based on Eastern Standard Time.I'm sure I can use timeZoneOffset, but I'm just not sure how to implement it.
I have a map and want to be able to show the date and time on a few individual parts of the map. The date and time will display when the users roll-over the area of the map. There are about 10 different areas. Can someone tell me if that's possible.
I have done the implementation of displaying time. but it is not updating the time dynamically. Only the values which are taken from system are displayed on display.
I have the following simple code:
public var date; addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterFrameHandl er); private function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void {
[Code].....
Text box is defined as dynamic text. get the time updating dynamically.
There must be a kind person out there on the WWW who could spare me 5 mins and rescue me before I top myself! I have a movie clip on my stage with 8 buttons in it that all sequentially fade in via an alpha tween 0 to 100%. All the buttons simply link off to different URL's on click. What I want to do is when a button is clicked I want to store pressed along with the date and time it was pressed into a .csv file.
