ActionScript 2.0 :: Display Mysql Date In Flash?
Mar 31, 2005
I have a php page that sends xml compiled from data in a mysql table to my swf. The swf is actually an auction and I need to load in the' end time' of that item and do a date comparision for a countdown.
So what I'm asking for, in a nutshell, is for the best way to load in a date from a database in such a way that it can be used for date comparisons?
The mysql field is a datetime field. I can modify the format in php to whatever you feel in the best format (I need year, month,day,hour,min, seconds) - but I don't know what to do with the date once I have it in flash.
example xml: <Item end_time="2005-04-01 00:00:00" />
can I convert it into a valid date with out string manipulation? since the following doesn't work (obviously)
my_date = new Date(oXML.firstChild.attributes.end_time)
What I need is to be able to take the current time & substract it from the time in the xml to give me the remaining time.

I am using the function below to convert a Flash AS3 Date type to a MySQL- compatible 'datetime' string. It is working fine, BUT I am worried that AS3 may not extract the 'same date format' from different client computers thereby rendering my function useless.Is there a better way of passing date to MySQL? One that gaurantees consistancy.
public function getMySQLdate(flashDate:Date):String var year:String;var month:String;var day:String;var hours:String;
var minutes:String;var seconds:String;

I have an mx:DateField in my Flex UI that has a formatString="dd.mm.yyyy" attached to it. However, the initial value for that field may not be in the format specified/defined for the DateField (due to legacy reasons). So, currently, if I just set that value (text) on the DateField, the field is shown empty. I think because it fails to accept the value in a format different than what's configured.

ok I have amfphp returning a query that is a Date data type in side of mysql. It is in this format "2007-27-5" which is a string. When making a date object in flash you need some thing like this
Code: var testDate:Date = new Date(2007, 4, 27); I would like to know if there is a short cut around this problem. As it would look now I need to take that string and have a regular expression pull the sub-strings ("2007", "5", "27") out and some how convert the sub-strings in to a numbers (2007, 5, 27), then set vars with the number latter sending it to that date constructor.

I've always just kind of randomly chosen DateTime or TimeStamp. What are the pros/cons of each and what do you use and why? (I realize some have more detail, I'm usually looking for year/month/day/hour/minute/second resolution and I'm currently working with PHP, AS3, and Objective-C.

I need to display a full recordset (say a table or a select from a table, returning many rows, not a single one) in a Flash doc, but I'm clueless. BTW, I read in other messages about amfphp which seems to be a good choice, but I can't use it on the Web Server (got no choice here).

i am using Flash CS4 (AS3) + AMFPHP + MySQL to do own flash frontend for Wordpress CMS. Everything is going fine but i`ve got one problem. Problem with properly display of result of query in AS3 by using ArrayCollection.
When i check my service in "amfphp/browser/" in web browser i`ve got this (with all needed data):
...
(mx.collections::ArrayCollection)#0
filterFunction = (null)
length = 2
[Code].....
I know that "result" is an ArrayCollection type but i don`t know how to get rows and columns from this. I know that my data is there but i have no idea how to get it.
how to get to Arrays and simple data variables which are in ArrayCollection.
P.S. I tried also change query type in service.PHP for mysql_fetch_query but in that case i`ve got only one row (not all data).

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to display a specific image based on the current date? for example, say I have something for sale 7 seven days, and I want to create an animation of images with numbers, countdown from 7 to 1, and have it stop on the number of days left.
The only place i've seen something like this is here
on the right side, just above the dark grey bar, a little calendar flash loads in and animates.

By default, when you visit a website that is made entirely in Flash and there is a Tme and Date movie clip feature... you know... it gets the current time and date of your computer so you're actually seeing your own time, right? What I've always wanted to do is when you visit a website that is made entirely in Falsh, and you have a Time and Date movie clip that tells the creators current time and the current date instead of just getting the values of your computer time and displaying your own. I'm in the Philippines so I want the visitors of my site to view what time and date is it in the Philippines.
