To have displayed recurring events display for a week before they occur example: the church has a "holy communion service" on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month at 10:10am then a "holy communion service" on the 2nd & 4th Sunday at 8:30am
on a month with a 5th Sunday "holy communion service" is at both 8:30am & 10:10am
I would like to see different colors in my DateChooser / CalendarLayout for weekdays and weekend days. I would also like to achieve this using a custom stylename (for example: "weekColor" and "weekendColor".

View 10 RepliesIf I'm given a month and a year, how can I calculate what day of the week that month started on?
My end goal is to write a method that takes a month and a year and returns an array of dates for each Sunday in that month (ex: 7,14,21,28).
I've been trying to figure out a code for the last week or so and I have had no luck . I'm trying to make an event.listerner in actionscript 3.0 that detects for a "S" key and then opens a new url with a separate swf. file upon the pressing of the "S".

View 1 RepliesSay for instance you have a weekly competition and the next draw for the competition is on the 29 January 2010, how would I create a weekly updater so that once the 29th January arrives the following friday "date" is displayed.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a lil' animated weekly meal plan that'll be played in my school's cafeteria. It gets the meal info from an external text file that the staff update every weekend for the coming week.Preface: I know my way around Flash relatively well, but don't have any formal training or much experience with Action Script.
What I would like to do is to automatically highlight the meals for the current day via Action Script. It drives me crazy that I know this is possible, most likely not overly complex, and that I've got all the basic elements assembled already.The problem is that I don't know the Syntax that would allow me to put it all together and get it working.I can create an array for the days of the week and trace the result, like so:
ActionScript Code:
var days:Array = ["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"];
var my_date:Date = new Date();
trace(days[my_date.day]);
Now I'd like to take the result, number representing the day of the week, and see if that is the current day. If so, I'd like this result to cause the alpha of my background MC to change (I'm doing this via TweenMax):
ActionScript Code:
if day == 0 //Day is Sunday
TweenMax.to(bg0, 2, {alpha:0.9}); // change the alpha of "bg0" to 0.9
else

And lastly, since the computer running the swf is being turned off every night and back on every morning I don't really need this run at a certain interval (i.e. every 24 hours), correct?

I have a Flash header on my site, and I'd like to be able to (preferably via XML) load an external SWF on top of it, and for a paticular amount of days.In other words, I have my main Flash header (eg. HEADER.SWF), and I'd like to load an external SWF (eg. EXTRA.SWF) on top, that has a very basic animated circle with some text on it. And one time I might like it to be there for 2 days, and other times I'd like it to stay there for a whole week.

I was looking for a way to shuffle a deck of cards last week and I was provided with some code to do so. I decided a straight shuffle would work better with my project than randomizing coordinates (as I was doing). I'm trying to implement the code, and I think I'm pretty close, but I'm running into a few snags. I'm using Shuffle.as as my document class, and another external class called Card.as to control the flipping and drag action of my cards. At the moment, I'm getting this message when I try to run the swf: 1084: Syntax error: expecting leftbrace before Deck. I think this is indicative of an error somewhere else in my code, but I'm not sure where. Do you see anything upon first glance?

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?
View 2 RepliesI 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'm sure there's a simple method or function out there to do this (at least I'm hoping there is). I want to return the name of a day of the week for a specific date using ActionScript.
For example, if I provide "2/2/2011" as a parameter, it should return "Wednesday". What's the best way to make this happen?
While both of them will work, I'm curious to know if anyone can think of a reason why one would be preferred over the other.
I have made a counter but i want it to reset 3 times a week at specific days of th week. I want it to reset first every Tuesday at 9:45,Every Thersday at 18:00 and every Saturday at 12:00

I'm using a CartesianChart with a DateTimeAxis to display weekly data in a Flex application.When I set dataUnits="weeks" and labelUnits="weeks" on the DateTimeAxis, it automatically places each major tick on a Sunday. However, I would like to provide users with the option of beginning the week on a Sunday or a Monday. How can I ask the DateTimeAxis to instead place the major ticks on a Monday (or some other day of week)?For example, if the user is looking at total sum of something over the week, and requests that weeks start on a Sunday, the Series data would look like:
x: Date(July 11, 2010) y: 25
x: Date(July 18, 2010) y: 30
x: Date(July 25, 2010) y: 32

I found a great flash countdown script through a tutorial, here is the action script-
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var todayate = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
var currentTime = today.getTime();
var targetDateate = new Date(currentYear,11,25);
[Code] .....
This works fine. However, I am attempting to change the targetDate by retrieving the last day of the month and counting down to that. Right now it counts to christmas. I know how to get the last day of the month through PHP, so I was thinking I could send the variables to the flash document and somehow replace 11,25 with $n (which is the month variable in my php) ,$lastday .
Here is the PHP Code:
$m = date('m');
$n = date('n');$month = date('F');
$y = date('Y');
$find = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 0, $y);
$lastday = strftime("%d", $find);
print "&n=$n&lastday=$lastday";
I have tried loading the php file and then placing a variable in.
In my site I need to have the date available for viewers. I know how to display the date of the user and I would like to create an onion skin animation for each separate chatacter(yes, I know how to create an onion skin animation but not how to do it separate for each character). My problem is this: I want to display the name of the month, not the number. Now I want each character animated separately in the date animation. for example:
S would appear with an onion skin animation, then about a quarter second later all the other characters with the same animation, E, P, T, E, M, B, E, R, [space], 2, 4, [space], 2, 0, 0, 2. How can I code actionscript so that I can do this with the user's date? Sorry for my lack of description, its late and I can't think well.
I am using this code to get the months off of the users computer and it then highlights what ever day it is, also it is dynamic. However what if I would like to call up a just july or just november. I know how to make arrows that get the next month in the sequence but my question is could I change the script to just get a month of my choosing?
Code:
aMonths = new Array();
aMonths[0] = "January";
aMonths[1] = "February";
aMonths[2] = "March";
aMonths[3] = "April";
[Code] .....
Setting the month directly to February via setMonth(1) actually sets the month to March.
Here's the code in question:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}var d:Date = new Date();
d.setMonth(1);
trace(d.getMonth());
That will trace "2" in the output. Setting the month to 0.9 will output "0", and setting the month to 1.1 will still output "2". It seems all other months are fine, except this one.

View 2 RepliesI am builder a graph that is going to cover an entire month. The user may change the Month/Year but there is no point in choosing a date for the month as it is going to show the entire month anyways. So is there a way to maybe make the DateChooser date always the first and only allow the user to pick the month and year?
