ActionScript 2.0 :: Add And Subtract Days From Current Date?
Jun 17, 2010
I'm working in CS4 and using ActionScript 2.0.I need to display a date that is five days in the future and a date that is five days in the past based on whatever the current date is on the user's system. The dates must be in the format M/D/YYYY.After much struggling, I figured out how to make the current date display by creating a dynamic text box named showtoday in a movie clip and adding the following ActionScript to the movie clip:[code](Please mentally replace the silly smiley face with a colon followed by a capital D.)Can anyone tell me where to go from here to add or subtract five days from the current date?
I need to be able to subtract 2hrs ,8hrs, 1 day and 1 week from the current Date.Then convert to yyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format.So far I have been unsuccessful.What is the proper method to do this in actionscript?
I'm trying to determine the difference in time between todays date and a future date. I only need to determine how many months and days it is between todays date and this future date. Anyone know of any prebaked scripts anywhere for determining what todays date is and subtracting it from the end date would be? [code]So if today's date is less then the end date I'd like to determine how many months and days are left until the end date is reached and display the number of months and days until that end date.
[code]This passes the date to another function that uses the date to see who in my office is oncall in the database and displays their name. The problem is, everyone that is oncall has to be oncall until 7am the next morning. So this works great IF they were off at Midnight each night. Is it possible to subtract 7 hours from this date?
We have an application in which the user has to enter a date who's value is no more than 30 days after the the current date (the date on which the user uses the application). This is a Flash application, therefore I need a way to add 30 days to the current date, and get the right date. [code]...
I have a calendar written in Flash (ActionScript). The calendar displays events on it. I am seeing an issue today (March 31) with any months that have less than 31 days in them. Here's the code:
myDateate = new Date(); myDate.setUTCFullYear(2011); myDate.setUTCMonth(3); //April myDate.setUTCDate(21); Alert.show(myDate.toDateString()); <-- Shows May 21, 2011
This is also broken for ANY month that has less than 31 days. So if I was to substitute 1 (feb), 5 (june), 8 (sept), or 10 (nov), it will show me the following month rather than the month I specify. If I set my system clock to April 1, the alert shows the correct date I specified which is April 21, 2011. Has anybody else experienced this kind of behavior? This is also broken if i use the non-UTC methods.
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?
Today is 28-05-2010, so I need to list Event 01. On 01-06-2010 I need to list Event 02. I have the basic AS3 code for listing the XML working, but I'm having trouble filtering the result.
private function onComboChange(evt:Event):void { var temp:Date = df_date.selectedDate; temp.date += 5; df_dateDue.selectedDate = new Date(temp); }
In essence, I am trying to add 5 days onto the selected date in df_date, and put that date into df_dateDue. This fires off via an EventListener on a combobox. Both df_date and df_dateDue are dateFields.
OK, so the first time that I run this, it works fine; df_date stays the same and df_dateDue is set to 5 days past df_date. However, the next time that I run it, df_dateDue increments by 10 days from df_date, the next time by 15, and so on.
So, stepping through the code shows that somehow df_date has become linked to the temp var, and that the temp var is not resetting itself each time the function is called.
Example: df_date = 01 Jan, df_dateDue = 01 Jan.
Fire off the event, df_date = 01 Jan, df_dateDue = 06 Jan Fire off the event again. At this point, var temp = 06 Jan (even though df_date still shows 01 Jan), and df_dateDue is then set to 11 Jan Fire off the event again. At this point var temp = 11 Jan (even though df_date = 01 Jan), and df_dateDue is then set to 16 Jan
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 need some scripts for the countdown with a current date like 01.30.2009 to count down to meet the deadline - 04.16.2009. how to do that except I can only build a very simple countdown.
I'm trying to find the difference (in days) between a date and the end of the year.
This code: Code: var NewYear = new Date((new Date()).getFullYear(), 11, 31); var CalcDate = new Date(); DiffInDays = Math.floor((NewYear - CalcDate)/86400000);
Is nearly right, but it seems to be a couple of days out - If I run it as at today (Feb 23rd 2011), It gives me 310 days till the end of the year, whereas (by counting on all my fingers and toes) I get 313 days.
I have to make a counter which has the following:Initial value: 0Target value: 5000Date which the target should be achieved: 31 Feb 05 Date which the counter starts: 1 Dec 04So what i'm trying to do is a counter that will start from 0 on the 1stDec and will end with 5000 on the 31stFeb.However I need to be able to change both the initial and target value and the initial and target date.
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 to build a functionality into a Flash app, which would calculate the number of days that have passed since a defined date.
The idea is that a start date would be defined in the script (in whatever format) and the application would count and return the number of days since that date. According to that number the app would determine the availability of a set of links listed in the style of a calendar. I'm gonna be using a date variable from my servers to determine the current date.
How should I proceed with this? How should the varying number of days in months be handled? What about leap year?
I'm looking over some info on the Date class in the link below, and have just one simple question:
[url]
For all of those functions -- particularly the one to find the number of days between two dates (pasted below) -- does Flash automatically take into account leap days?
Lets say I have 4 items on the stage item1_mc, item2_mc, etc...they're stacked vertically with a small space between them. I wish to cycle through these items with two keys, up and down respectively...how would I go about doing this?
My current idea is to create an array of these items and have each press of the key add or subtract "1" from the current selection...is this the correct method to pursue? Are there better options?
On the DateChooser component, it shows the days for only the current month... but i'd like to show some of the previous month's days and some of the next month's days.Is there a property to set on the DateChooser component to show 42 days. I mean, to show some of the previous month's days + the current month's days + some of the next month's days. I'm not sure what this is called...If you look at a typical month calendar, for example for June 2011 it shows:
S M T W Th F Sa 20 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
[code].....
Is there a property that I've overlooked which shows some of the days from the prev. month and next month in the current month view? Or would I need to extend the DateChooser component and override a method?
My app needs to fetch the current date and I don't want it to come from the computer's clock. I've searched [URL] and other sites for APIs, but have come short so far. Is there a web service somewhere or any other dedicated server where I could fetch today's date from using AS3?
I have a datagrid wherein I only want to show users the data for the current week.I am pulling the data from a sql database and in my dataprovider which is a XMLList I have date attribute (for each row in my xmllist) which is of the format YYYY-MM-DDI want to check if this date attribute falls in the date range of the current week and then show this data.How can I calculate current weeks date range and do this.
