ActionScript 3.0 :: Display Swf Based On Time Of Day And Season?
Dec 21, 2009
How to create some action script that will display either an image or a SWF based on the time of day ie. Day and Night and the seasons ie. Winter, Summer, Spring, Fall.
I know it has something to do with creating a file that is .as and making sure you have the correct class Id. Looked at a few tutorials on creating calenders and image galleries but can not figure out how to combine the two to just show the image or SWF.

I'm trying to setup a header / banner to play around with some as3 function and learn more. Really basic the Project checks the Time and Month and thus it changes the time of day and the season. Currently I'm having trouble with my Refresh Class because I need it to keep checking every "15 minutes or so" is it is still (for example) night or the time has just changed to morning in which case the morningSky will get created.
I got the script to refresh but it doesn't seem to change the Time and Season when the computer time and date is changed. I think it has something to do with the return function in the TimeCheck class (I also have SeasonCheck which is build up the same).

I'd like to create a banner for my website using a slidshow but I'd like for the photo's that are displayed to be daylight images during the daytime and nightime images during the evening hours from the viewers perspective. These images will, of course, be outdoor pictures, but I cannot seem to figure out how to select the picture elements to display based on the users time shown on their computer.

I would like to display a message in flash "we are open" or "we are closed" based upon time. Naturally I can do this for the users local time on their system, but is it possible to work out if their time is different to UK time (GMT) and display those messages accordingly. Afterall I don't want a user to see a message "we are open" at 1pm their time - they could be in Japan and it'd be about 4am UK time.Is this possible to work out the time difference on any system?

I want to have a variable which changes from time to time based on certain parameters.
For Example:
var poop:Number;
onEnterFrame = function(){if(donkey==1){poop = 2;}
if(donkey==2){poop = 5;}
}
But it doesn't work. I can't seem to change the value of "poop" with code. It only accepts a value that I place, ex. var poop = 2, but that doesn't let me change it.

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to display a specific image based on the current date? for example, say I have something for sale 7 seven days, and I want to create an animation of images with numbers, countdown from 7 to 1, and have it stop on the number of days left.
The only place i've seen something like this is here
on the right side, just above the dark grey bar, a little calendar flash loads in and animates.

Im trying to show a flash animation in my QT application, I'm doing it by a QWebView. This is my code:
webpage = new QWebPage(this->window);
webpage->settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);
webpage->settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::JavascriptEnabled, true);
[Code].....
So, Im able to show regular pages, but the pages that got a Flash animation doesnt appears. I receive a blank page and a symbol from adobe, like "Get flashplayer".
I already have it, those pages load ok in Firefox and Chrome. I have put the NPSWF32.dll e my project folder and in others standar paths, but it Didnt work. So I do not really know what to do now. Hope you guys can helpme, I couldnt find the plugin file in Firefox or Chrome folders, so I downloaded another NPSWF32 to put in the project folder, maybe is that?

I need to make an edit to a flash projector that was built some time ago that changes what is playing based on the time of day. It is used to advertise breakfast or lunch/dinner for a restaurant. Previously we had set it up so that the time change happened at 5 in the morning and 10 in the morning. The code is below. The restaurant wants to change the time switch to be on the half hour now.[code]

Is there a way to load a MC based on an internal clock (or if that's too complicated, a digital clock based on the Digital Clock tutorial)? I also read up on the Loading Random MC tutorial, which is helpful but rather than it being random is there a way to set it so that the MC loads, for instance, everyday at noon? And it would keep this MC generated for 24 hrs until the next one that loads 24 hrs later.

I am playing around with the timedate.getHours(); function and I was wondering how I might go about setting up a condition whereby between 3am and 3pm, movieclip1 loads and between 3pm and 3am, movieclip2 loads?
I'm sure it's not that difficult but I'm not sure how to structure the if/else statement or read the hour from the timedate function.

I'm trying to load a different .gif file based upon the time of day. I figured what I wrote would work, but alas, I was wrong. Here's what I got:
Code:
files=["sunrise.gif", "morning.gif", "midday.gif",
"afternoon.gif", "twilight.gif", "night.gif"]
var currentHour:Number = myDate.getHours();
[Code]....
I know I can take out that first array, and I do believe I can take out the minutes and seconds, but I left the code as is, in case I screwed it all up. Oh and the pictures have no paths because I imported them into the actual .fla.

Is it possible for recent versions of flash to directly (or thru Php) access (& update) data from a mysql database and display results based on the data?
So if my database were like this (math scores):User 13Jerry | 20Kane | 7 the flash output would be a bar graph like this (those hyphens would be bars in flash)
Is this possible these days? Google analytics does something like similar to this.
I last used flash somewhere in 2003/4. Never after that :-) I've completely lost touch.

I have a question regarding preloaders.I am wondering if someone could help me figure out how to display an animation based on how much data has downloaded.For example.I have a preloader, it gets to 10% or xxx bytes loaded, I want a movie clip to play (or whatever, sparks to fly, etc.), then at 20% or zzz bytes, another movie clip plays (or again, something else happens).So basically I want the movie to react to how much of it has been downloaded.A real world example of this that I can find quick is.url...(ya ya, everyone uses this as their example).The loader seems to animate based on how much of the movie has actually loaded.play an animation, movie clip, etc based on how many bytes/percent, has loaded.

I've been looking into trying to develop a flash application that has images that will change based off of the time on the clock. For example, if I had an image of a landscape with the sun in the sky, at 11:59am the image of the sun at the highest point in the sky would display. If it was 9pm, an image would display showing a night time setting of that landscape. I've seen plenty of PHP scripts for this idea but nothing in regards to flash (AS2 or 3 )

I need to load alternate flash content based on the end users bandwidth/ load time of pre-loader. for example:
User 1 enters home page. pre-loader SWF loads in 4 seconds or less, so the high bandwidth SWF is loaded.
User 2 enters home page. Pre-loader SWF loads in more than 4 seconds, so low bandwidth SWF is loaded.

var myDate = new Date();
var hour = myDate.getHours();

Basically what I'm trying to do is make a sundial-style clock animation. I'm using AS2 in Flash CS4. I'm still quite new to Flash so my AS know-how is slightly limited...
I want to get the time from the user's computer (I'm using getHours) and make a line (movie clip) rotate to a certain angle based on the hour. Eg. 1pm = 13 degrees, 2pm = 26 degrees and so on. This is the script I have so far and all it seems to do is rotate the movie clip to 90 degrees.

so here's what I'd like to do. I'd like to create an action that, when it's a specific day, a dynamic textbox displays a specific text. In other words, if today is th 24th of December then I'd like the dynamic textbox to say "merry christmas" or something like that...HOWEVER I need to set this actionscript up so that it reads 8 different days and the dynamic textbox holds 8 different values. How do I do this? I'm having a LOT of trouble with this..and I'm on a deadline

I'm creating a large project with many different FLAs using symbols pulled from a shared library FLA at author time. It works great, however, the workflow could be simplified (possibly) if the shared library were saved in XFL format.I saved a copy of the shared library FLA as XFL. Then, I tried to import a symbol to another FLA from the XFL as author-time symbol references. Flash recognized the XFL document as an accepted source, but did not offer a menu giving a selection of symbols.
