ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Date To GMT Instead Of Local Time?
Feb 27, 2011
In a part of one of my ActionScripts, I want to set a date to an exact time, using GMT, so users in any time zone will be able to see the time until or time elapsed since that time in London.
In JavaScript, I would simply add "GMT" to the date that I am inputting, as follows:
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'm currently trying to create an advent calendar I would like the flash movie to somehow recognise the date on the users computer and then gotoAndStop at that particular Frame Label (eg. If it's the 20th December then it jumps to Frame Label 20 in the main timeline.
I have this clock code and would like to know what needs to be added or changed for it to reference the time off the server and not the local computer time (and preferably reference the server just once and not repeatedly). I already have a file on the server "time.php" that is providing the milliseconds. I know it should be fairly simple, but I just can't wrap my head around it.
I added in my application universal time, and I gave start and stop time. The process is going smoothly, but if I change my system (local) time, the entire time will be changed. Is there any solution to solve this problem?
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.
Is there a way with AS3 and flash player 10+ to check the modified date / time of a file? I'd like the swf to see if the local file has changed since it last checked. If it has, load the new data and go from there. An outside source is writing that new xml file and it could be a few seconds to days or weeks before it's updated again.
I am having some problem understanding the codings for the countdown timer tutorial. [URL]. How do I set a specific date of, maybe a date which is 2 years later or so?
I need to list the files under a local folder on web browser(flex app). How do i change the properties of flash player so that it will browser list the files?
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?

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.
I have been asked to create a screensaver that will show a different movie/message all week, then at the end of the week I would need to have it revert back and do the same all over.All 7 movies (one for each day of the week) will be located inside the SWF file, I just need to know if it's possible for the movies to change over with the computers time and date.
I'm making a timeline with a moving car. It has to go from left to right in about 11 hours. I got this code and the car is moving from left to right:
[Code]...
But everytime I refresh my page the car is at the begin again. So I have to attach it to a Timer/date class to it so it stops at a certain point / time and date.
