I want to create on online advent calendar. I somehow need the actionscript in my swf to recognise what the date is and then go to a certain frame within my movie.I'm hoping you can somehow get actionscript to recognise the local date on the users computer and if it's a particular date, to gotoAndStop at a certain point within the timeline.
View 4 RepliesI am very new to Flash. I am currently putting together a flash based advent calendar but coming stuck on a code which keeps throwing back a syntax error. The code I have input is
on(release){this.play();}
Which runs a movie clip when you click on a box.
See the tutorial here to see where I'm coming from: [URL]

View 3 RepliesIs there a better way than in Flash? It would be a test of 50 multiple-choice and true-false questions, which would follow 300-400 PowerPoint slides. The slides could be jpg's loaded via xml or even put right into the fla/swf. The slides could also be on another part of the site and just the test would be in Flash.

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to create an online brochure that users design with products/images they've selected. users will be able to drag a thumbnail to a pre-designed area, then swap them around to their liking. currently i'm in the beginning stages and just learning the power of actionscript.
i've attached two sample .fla files i've been working with. the first sample i have two thumbnails drag to a target and enlarge to a defined size. the second sample i used a tutorial from flashkit --- drag drop swap. it works but the as is not up-to-date. i'm trying to incorporate the two ideas together but get bizarre effects. most of the examples i find are close but no cigar.

View 1 RepliesI have been fighting with this for nearly a month, (My wife is tired of hearing about it) and have been avoiding putting the question onto this forum because it feels like it's just within my reach. But obviously it isn't.
I have the code set up to dynamically build this calendar. It works for the month we're in but attempting to go to the previous or next month does not work. Sometimes next month works actually.
Ok I just checked it and it really only worked for October and now it is incorrect for November. The problem is determining the first and last days (i.e. Sunday, Monday, etc...) of the month.[code]...
[URL] but as the link is provided but no contacts available, I cannot check out this issue..basically, I went through the codes and able to understand but coming to this point, on the top right corner of the rect, the day number do not appear as it appears on the site..when I do trace, the text is there, but swf is not showing it.

View 3 RepliesI have this xml calendar component I downloaded form flash components. It works great but I would like to change two things and can't figure out how/where.
1. It displays the first event/menu item from the xml file into the current date.
2. If you click on a date that doesn't have an associated event it doesn't clear the text box.
Whatever was last in there stays in there.The component is on frame 4 of the calendar fla on the left hand side. The xml load AS is on the first frame.
Does anybody know how to set up Flash MX UI component calendar.

View 1 RepliesI frequent a few other forms on various web related stuff, but just started to really get into flash. I have a calendar I've been working on, I get it to auto create the days and months based off the system date. Now what I'd like to do is have my AS Highlight the current day so it stands out...
I've been looking over the code, trying to figure out how to get it, but I keep getting stuck. I know Flash has a built in "Date" and I've been trying if statements to get it to == my AS Datestamp, but I have to be doing it wrong.
Ive pieced this together from a few different calendars after seeing the code, the AS is split into 4 KeyFrames. The code below is what gets the day, and places the start cord. of the MC:

I am trying to make an interactive calendar. I would like the day to be highlighted when it opens. The highlight is a movie clip with a number for the instance name.
[Code]...
It's not working and I'm not sure why. I could easily be going about it ALL wrong. I suspect that it being an onClipEvent is an error. Can't I just getDate and setProperty?
I have attached the file. Once I understand how this works I can duplicate it for loading the correct month and year.

View 9 RepliesI've got a flash calendar and if you click on a specific date it shows the event in a text box for that date. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to insert a linkable text into that event area. The flash file is associated with XML files for each month and also with an XML.AS file. The calendar (FlashGordon) can be downloaded here: [URL]Here is the code for the XML.AS file:
// XML LOADING FOR CALENDAR DATES AND IMAGE DISPLAYED
var xml:XML;
var displayImage:String;
var scope:MovieClip = this;

If I insert a link inside the event line, for ex.: <event date="19" event="<a href="http://www.google.com/">Test</a>"/> the calendar won't show any events and obviously it's not working.how can I insert a linkable text in the event area of the calendar?
Is it possible to display my google calendar in a flash file? I tried loading it into a dynamic text box but that did not work. I feel like an idiot as it seems this should be easy to do.
View 1 RepliesI have a Calendar class (extends Sprite) that when called constructs a calendar. It does so by adding several Day (extends Sprite) objects to itself. I tested this class with a driver class, CalendarTest - the Document Class, that adds a Calendar object to
its stage. It worked great. Then I added a "Next" button to build a new Calendar for the next month. It didn't work so great.
After clicking Next button, the first calendar remained on stage. removeChild did not remove the first Calendar object. So, I wrote destroy methods within the Calendar and Day classes that remove their various components and clear graphics.
The Next button now works great, for the next calendar object. But the next, next calendar object, same problem as the first problem before implementing destroy methods.
I even put trace statements before removeChild calls and set the child to null after removeChild calls. It traces such and such Day is removed, set to null, and finally Calendar is removed, set to null. And yet, the second Calendar with all its Day objects remains on stage!So, how do I remove the Calendar from stage and memory?
