ActionScript 2.0 :: Page Listing Shows That Sorts Them According To Date And Also When The Show Date Has?
Oct 30, 2009
I'm trying build a simple band site using flash and as2. All I want to have is a page listing shows that sorts them according to date and also when the show date has passed drops that entry from view.I can do this easily enough with a database and php but want to learn how to do it in actionscript. Here is what I currently have, shows load from the xml file into a simple textbox:
Code:
scrollBar.target = shows_txt;
showsXML = new XML();
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.
I'm fairly new to ActionScript and was wondering if anyone had an idea how this effect was done:[URL]..Click on a show date and the link zooms up and fills the screen giving show info. Then when you click the back button it shrinks back to where it was on the calendar.
I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash. I then need to display that date to a piece of dynamic text within the flash file. Is there a function within action script that will check and retrieve the file date of an external file.
my date of string like (2009-12-03 21:05:00) date with time . so i used to store var newdate:Date=new Date(Date.parse(startdate)); but shows some errors.and also i tried to split string(date) used date function likevar datenumber:Number= (new Date(Date.parse(startdate))).getDate();
Does anyone know how to get actionscript to render a null date value '000:00:00T00:00:00'? I am calling a web service that expects date fields in the SOAP xml. I need some of these dates to serialize as null and I can't see how to produce null. The closest value I can get is '1899-11-30T00:00:00Z'. Below is the code I am using:
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.
I'm trying to get a random date in a date range and this is what i have so far but it doesnt seem to be working ? Where I'm I Going wrong ?Gets the date difference
private function differenceBetweenDates(date1:Date, date2:Date):Number{ var MS_PER_DAY:uint = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;[code]..........
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.
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.
[URL] how to make a date countdown. I now want to take it a bit further. On my site I have three gears that just continuously turn; now what I want to do is that over a period of time, these symbols change. Like say every 2 hours the symbols change to a different colour or something, and at pacific dates more gears will appear.
I have a situation where I have a date in this format.
Code: var currentDate : String = "09/22/09"
and I want to be able to change this dynamically to the next date.like you had currentDate +1. The reason for this is the user selects this date but I want another field to display the next date after this.I thought about using the date object to take care of this for me but I'm not sure that will work.If I pass the date object this format it returns.
newDate = Wed Sep 22 00:00:00 GMT-0500 1909
I could start stripping out the currentDate and adding in lots of if statements for the month year and date and figuring out leap years but I thought the date object could solve all this.
I am experiencing a very strange behavoiour of Flex Date object. My web service is written in .Net 3.5 and all object which I am retriving or updating have Creation Date (Date Type) in .Net code.
But when I am calling .Net web service and displaying data in Flex, Flex displaying a different Date than what stored in web service. When I update my object using Flex UI, every time update time is very different than actual update time set by .Net code.
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.
Does anyone here know much about the date object in ActionScript? I need to find out if a date is greater than or less than a particular date, and I'm not having any luck.
I'm trying to inform people of how long ago the website was updated on the welcome screenWhen I make a revision to the swf I plug in the date in the "Update" field and then it should subtract it from the day the website is viewed.
Code: Now = new Date(); Update = new Date(2006, 7, 1);
I would like to create a website 'banner' application in flash that uses action script to show or hide different movie clips based on a start and end date.
Originally I would have to manually upload new banners to a website one at a time. But if I had one file that could contain multiple banners I could have them turn on and off based on what day it was. Is there a way to do this with action script?
I got a Problem with my DateChooser. When clicking the control directly it highlights the date as it should. When selecting the date programmatically it won't show.
var date:Date = notification.getBody() as Date; _view.dcMiniCalendar.selectedDate = date;
trace tells me, that date and _view.dcMiniCalendar.selectedDate carry the correct values. I already tried to use _view.dcMiniCalendar.invalidateDisplayList() (and some other invalidate functions as well) but neither with nor without them I get that date to be shown selected in the control.
I have a datefield labeled my_datefieldI have a dynamic text field labeled my_textWhat code can I use for the selected date of my_datefield to display in my_text?So say in the datefield I click on October 11th
