ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Date Object To Check Day Of Month?
Aug 5, 2004
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 need to display something on my program just for one month. For example from the 1/25 to 2/25 I need to display something but at midnight on the 2/25 the the element has to disappear. I need to create a function to do that but I have no idea how to check the date. a lot
I have 2 DateFields named startDate and endDate I want to set startDate's Selected date to Current months start date and endDate's Selected date to Current months End date.
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.
Any way to get the full time in one parameter? I need to get the date, month and year, I tried the get.date, get.month, and get.fullyear but doesn't work for me, cuz im creating a calendar with different text in every day of the year but I need to hide the text from today and on, and show the text from today to past. I am posting the fla. and I am trying with the button place on may 25th.
I have this huge thing of actionscript (See below) which I wrote my self and unsurprisingly it has some problems, it is meant to get the day, date and month values and switch them to get the text equivilent of that integer. Well not exactly it gets the day right at least but then it gave me the 3th (Try to pronounce that) of " " month. I am stuck? Here is the AS
setInterval(dateSet,250000000000000000000000000000 0); function dateSet(){ var day = new Date().getDay();[code].....
I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash. I then need to display that date to a piece of dynamic text within the flash file. Is there a function within action script that will check and retrieve the file date of an external file.
I'm trying to see if a specific date has passed but it's not working. Here's my PHP Code: var currDate:Date = new Date(); checkIfDateHasPassed = function(y, m, d){ var myDate:Date = new Date(y, m, d); if(myDate > currDate){ trace("still to come"); } else { trace("has passed"); }}// since month starts in Zero, July will be 6 instead 7 // I'm trying to use yesterday, but its not working...checkIfDateHasPassed(2011, 6, 10);
Can anyone offer any insight into how to check if a file is newer and then down load MC/swfs from external connection (i.e. website) for use with projectors, or in that case swf? I know it's possible with Swf Studio or the like, just wondering if it's poss with flash alone.
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've got a php backend which delivers a time (e.g. '07:00:00'). This time is recognized as a string but I need it as a Date. So what I need is: Convert a string '07:00:00' to a Flex Date object. Is there a way to do this (without using regular expressions)?
i'm using the date object to pull up different movies at different times of day. but can't figure out the syntax for the if/else statement to allow for time frames. this is what i want in english.
play movie A between 8am-1pm then play movie B between 1pm-5pm. then
play movie C between 5pm-8pm then
play movie D between 8pm-midnight etc
I actually want 5 different time frames for 5 different movies.here's my actionscript attempt.
on (release) { now = new Date(); now.getHours()[code]...
this only works for two different time frames. greater than/less than.
i created a DATE object.Code:var myTime:Date = new Date(2008,9,19,12,0,0);now I would like to add 7 days to myTime.do I need to convert myTime to milliseconds?
i would like to place some backgroundelements on my chart which uses a datetimeaxis. I would like to shade a date range in the background of the chart based on start and ending dates in my dataprovider. How can I take the star and end dates and get their exact point on the chart? This way if I can get the points for the start and end dates,
I could be overlooking something, but Flash / AS3 seems to be missing basic date formatting functionality. How do I get a formatted string from a Date ? There's a few options like .toLocaleDateString() and .toUTCString(), but that a bit limiting, to say the least. So, how do I format a Date object in AS3?
My FMS client is calling a function (simplified) which gets the offset time in milliseconds of an flv file.According to the docs for creationTime, it should return a Date object containing the time the file was created.I cannot access any properties of the date object in the server script.
Client.prototype.listFiles = function( folderName ) { var testFile = new File('/streams/folder/fileName.flv'); trace("creationTime: " + testFile.creationTime);
I am passing some parameters as POST to a Servlet from my Flex WebApplication. I am able to pass and retrieve strings properly. I used new Date().getTime() in my flex code and tried passing the timestamp variable hoping to parse it at the servlet and convertit into a java.util.Date object. But i am getting a NumberFormatException when i try to parse the variable from the string that i got from request.getParameter.
can the date object be used to determine the calendar dates of the days preceding and following today?i.e.- if i use the date object to return that today is Wednesday, October 10, can i use it to determine that yesterday was October 11 and Tomorrow is October 12?I need to be able to do this for a custom application that displays info per MTWTF..i need to be able to have it automatically display real calendar dates (so it knows if it's the 31st or 28th or whatever and the next day is the 1st).
I'm trying (and struggling) to get my head around AS3 and am building a flash webpage. I have 2 layers in the timeline, each containing a movie clip matching the page size with instance names backgroundDay and backgroundNight. What I'm wanting is for the background to change for the day and night, so that from 18:00 to 06:00 the alpha of backgroundDay becomes 0 to show backgroundNight behind.
