ActionScript 3.0 :: Date.getTime() - Unexpected Results - Bug Or Blunder?
Jul 1, 2010
Am using Date.getTime to sort playlists by modified date. First am converting a saved "display date" (string) to a new date object like so:
[Code]...
The bottom two playlists are the most recently modified, yet the getTime() value suggests that the date is BEFORE 1970, despite Date.toDateString() correctly evaluating the year as 2010. If the date apparently knows the fullYear value is 2010, how the hell is it concluding that's before 1970?!?! Is this a bug or have I monumentally blundered somewhere obvious....?

f I trace new Date().toUTCString() I get something like: Fri Aug 12 07:14:06 2011 UTC.perfect. If I trace new Date().getTime() I get some long negative number which is decreasing as I continue to trace it. This is totally unexpected.

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.

I'm working on a project where I have many layers containing many graphics distributed to frames (like a character dress-up).
Frame1: Shoe
Frame2: T-shirt
What I'm trying to do is to colorize those objects using colorTransform.Now the following happens: When I apply a colorTransform on the objects contained in Frame1 (using getChildAt(...) and setting colorTransform), the object gets colored correctly like expected.BUT when I move to the next frame with gotoAndStop(2); the colorized objects are still there, overlapping the contents of the next frame.The only way to get rid of that is to move the playHead back and forth again.

I was woundering if anyone has ever run into the problem when they are useing the getTime(); command but wanted it to stay in a specific time zone no matter what zone the user is browsing in. So basically I want it to display central time, but if a user browsing my site is in Pacific time, I want the time to display in central, even if he/she tries to change the the clock on his/her computer. So I think the only other way to do this would get the time from another source? I tried getUTCTime(); but that time still changes if the user changes the clock on his/her computer. I was thinking if I could do something like getTime(); and inside the () , mabey I could put my IP address?

Do you know any way to compare a date to a range of date using the Date class in as2.
For example i want to know a given day (11-12-2009) is among the start and end date of a given range (11-01-2009 to 11-20-2009).

I have a XML file with a few concert dates. In my flash/AS3 file, I would like to show only the up coming event, relative to current date. Like this:
Event 01: 30-05-2010
Event 02: 02-06-2010
Event 03: 05-06-2010
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 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.

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'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 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.

[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.

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.
