ActionScript 2.0 :: Find The Difference (in Days) Between A Date And The End Of The Year
Feb 23, 2011
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.

For example, today is Tuesday, Feb 02. Well the equivalent "Tuesday" from last year was on Feb 03. How can I find this out programmatically?

how can I get Flash to find the difference (in days) between two dates that the user enters? For example if I have six input text boxes and I call them:
day1
month1
year1
day2
month2
year2
respectively, how can I get a dynamic text box called, say, "output" to find the difference between two dates that the user enters into the six text boxes, e.g.
day1 - The user enters 03
month1 - The user enters 09
year 1 - The user enters 2006
day2 - The user enters 25
month2 - The user enters 12
year2 - The user enters 2006

I could not find a method in Flex Date object to get the week of year (1 to 52)
What is the best way to find this? Is there any useful library for flex for such date operations like JodaTime in Java.

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.

Why there are differences between AS Date and Java Date? I have a startTime field in an ActionScript class and also have a startTime in the related Java class. The time set in AS is new Date(2009,11,19,10,35,50); and then I find it has the value of 2009-12-19T10:35:50.000-0500 in the Java object.

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 have some code as follows:
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

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?

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?

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?

I have to validate that 1) the end Date is not less than the start Date and 2) the difference between the two UTC Dates is not more than 12 months. To do this, I need a monthDifference function:
public static function monthDifference(start:Date, end:Date):int;
Since partial months can be confusing, this is how month differences are supposed to work:
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and January 31, 2010 is zero (0).
The month difference between January 31, 2010 and February 1, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and February 28, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and March 1, 2010 is two (2).
How can I calculate month difference in ActionScript 3.0?

I came accross another issue regarding the accuracy between the getTimer and date.getTime functions.I use this simple script (AS2)
[Code]...
What happens if you let this simple app running is that the trace will show that the difference between the getTimer and date.getTime results slowly increases.I would assume some inaccuracy, but not one that would slowly increase during the lifetime of the application. The reason I want to compare the two values is that I want to see if someone is tampering with the application speed with a program such as Cheat Engine. And I noticed the date.getTime function isn't affected by that program, but the getTimer function is.
