ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Flash To Find The Difference (in Days) Between Two Dates That The User Enters?
Sep 3, 2006
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
How do I get Flash to find the difference between today and Christmas?

I have been using a tidy little routine that I found here to calculate the difference in days between two dates in AS3. I am getting some strange results and I am wondering if any of you inter-codal-mega-lords can shed some light?

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 use this script currently to determine the difference between two dates:
[Code]...
The problem with this is I want to monitor the actual physical day change so if someone accessed the application at 11:59 PM and then came back 5 minutes later this would register as a 1 day difference (a new day), this current script requires atleast 12 hours to have passed between two dates for it to register as a new day.
I have thought about using the date number etc, but because months and years are so different it is quite a complex route, there must be something simpler.

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 hitting a wall on this one. My script finds the difference in hours between 2 dates, however..
var data:Array = ["2011-08-30 11:19:19", "01-09-2011 02"];
var aDate:String = data[0].split(" ")[0];
var dateElements:Array = aDate.split("-");
var date1:Date = new Date();
date1.setDate(int(dateElements[2]));
[Code]...
As you can see, the date elements trace out the way they should. Now try changing the first element of the data array to "2011-08-31 11:19:19". Although the date elements are fine, the last trace gives a totally weird value. What's even weirder is that when compiling this script a second time in Flash IDE, it takes a long time to compile, then traces nothing at all, as if the script times out.

Event Date
Which traces
Current Date: Mon Feb 9 14:45:43 GMT-0500 2009
Event Date: Mon Feb 9 15:32:51 GMT-0500 2009
Now what I am trying to do is compare those dates and output the difference.

I have a project in Flash Mx 2004. On the first frame there is a menu with 4 menu items. When the user clicks an item, they are taken to another frame with some text and an exit button that takes them back to the menu. The forward button will not become active until all of the menu items have been viewed. There is no particular order for the items to be viewed, just that they all be viewed before the forward arrow is active and the user can continue. I tried puttin an action on the exit button to disable the related menu item, however, the item just resets back to enabled each time a user re-enters the frame.

I am trying to write the code for making a text input control in flex. As the user enters the value in text input control and then if he removes the typed characters to make the text input blank, then I print error message via StringValidator. But I want the focus to be set on that text input only until the user enters anything. How can I achieve that?

I have an input text box with the instance name of input_txt and a dynamic text field named output_txt. I'm trying to do something with the dynamic field when the user has entered text into the input field. So far, this is what I have:
input_txt.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, update);
function update(event:TextEvent):void {
output_txt.text = "foobar";
}
I don't know if this is valid ActionScript 3.0. I am getting an error that says "the class 'TextEvent' could not be loaded."

I am rather new to actionscript and having some trouble. My goal is to make a app where the user enters a decimal number and the number of decimal places and the output is displayed in a dynamic text box. Here's what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
go_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Display);
function round(num:Number, dp:int):Number {
var decimal:Number = Math.pow(10, dp);
trace(Math.round(decimals * num) / decimal)

I am working on a simple math game for kids. It is nearly complete but the problem I have is that when the user enters their answer in the input textfield, the numbers are entered from left to right. Most people do math problems from right to left. Is there a way to make the numbers appear from right to left? I am thinking that I would have to use an eventlistener on the number keys and also use parse text or arrays somehow to manipulate the numbers.

I currently have a slideshow-style navigation site. There are five buttons on the bottom and when the user clicks each button, it triggers a nested movieclip to play. I would like the button to be highlighted when the corresponding movieclip is playing, but when they click another button and another movieclip plays, I want the button to go back to its original color.
The problem is that the movieclips that are playing are nested two levels down and the buttons have to be on the main timeline. I think I might need an event listener to see if a certain nested movieclip is playing, to know to change the button color. It seems to easy but I can't figure it out,

First of all, props to Informatik at Actionscript.org for the following code. This is a profanity filter that will perform an action when it detects a word from an array. The problem is, it fails when the user enters only a single word:
Code:
var filteredWords:Array = new Array("apple", "grape", "orange", "watermelon");
submitBtn.onPress = function():Void{
if(checkFilteredWords(inputText.text) == true)[code].....
The code uses split(" ") to detect a space which is obviously causing the problem of failing to detect one word offenders. But without this, the filter would detect profanity in a word like "assets".

a) A full moon is there on the screen in which Name and Password field is there.
b)The movement the user types his name and password and after pressing enter the moon should fade for some other animation.
Is action script needed for this?.
Am just a sort of general flash animator I don't know how to do things differently.
The animation further should continue where a steel door should open, two velvet ropes should be pulled aside which will make the bookcase wall swivels around to reveal the next animation
how to achieve point a and b.I will try pondering the rest on opening the steel door and pulling the velvet ropes that swivels the bookcase and goes to reveal another animation....

You can find the file in the attachment. It's not the site, but it's the datechooser I use as base. I found this code and this is probably the one I need, with a little modifications. The question is: in what place do I have to insert this code and to what object I need to link it? The target is that the user can't select a day in the future.
comp.disabledRanges = [ {rangeStart: new Date(mydate.getYear, mydate.getMonth, mydate.getDay)} ];
I also found this one:
if (selectecDate > Date){
alert("This date can't be in the future");
return false
}

So I am a complete novice at actionscript as was evident in my attempts to figure this out on my own. I have the following code to control the "Songs" section of my website and I would like the following features:
1. Not have the music automatically start when the user enters the frame. (I thought this was due to line 3 code but it still played after I deleted that code)
2. Add a "Back" button to go back 1 song.I currently have it set up with the following code on my "Songs" Page:

If I have my date field/chooser set to show today (current day will be highlighted when selecting a date) can I disable the user from choosing dates that fall before the current day?
PHP Code: <mx:DateField id="choosedate" showToday="true"
This is from the adobe live docs. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to change it to suit what I've stated above. Or maybe it's done a completely different way...

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?
