I looked high and low for a tutorial on this and got squat! I need to make this up soon. I have it half working at the moment, i still need to make a database for the events and such. But right now I need to get the calendar scrolling threw the months when the buttons I have are clicked on. this is my code:
[Code]...
I have a calendar-class and I want to see if there is a post in my database for any of the dates. I was thinking a nested loop, the first one loops through the dates of the month and the nested one compares variables with the date.
Ex.
loadVariablesNum("[URL]", 0)
for (q = 1; q <= Days; q++){
//load 'day-symbol'
for(x = 1; x == 10; x++){
if(q == someArray[x]){
//someArray[] from loadVariablesNum
//mark day...
}}
I have to set up an list of events in sort of a calendar format. I'm trying to figure out how I should bring in the data.The data will be stored in a mySQL database. Should I just bring it straight into flash with PHP, or should I use PHP to convert it to XML and then bring it to flash?

View 5 RepliesI've developed a Version 2 Events Calendar component that will accept multiple, non-continuous days (which the DateChooser component does not do).
in particular I'd like to thank the following people, without whom this project would never have been completed. i'm indebted to you all
activity.xml is where you put the dates in. open up the file and you'll see how i did it. i marked the dates i wanted highlighted and then put in the url where you get taken when you click on that date.

activity.xml needs to be on the same level and in the same folder as the .fla you're putting this in. activity.xml is where you put the dates in. open up the file and you'll see how i did it. i marked the dates i wanted highlighted and then put in the url where you get taken when you click on that date.
ExtendedDateChooser class is great solution for simple event calendar used in my flex project. You can find it if google for "Adding-Calendar-Event-Entries-to-the-Flex-DateChooser-Component" with a link of updated solution in comments of the post. I posted files below. Problem in that calendar is text events are missing when month is changed. Is there updateCompleted event in Actionscript just like in dateChooser flex component? Like in:
[Code]...
I have built a class based on a calendar script found here on this forum. I have modified the script to work in a class and expanded on the calendar by checking each day of the month against a database to see if there are events on that day. (if there is an event, the day movie clip goes to another frame to highlight said day)Everything works great.. at first glance. The first time the calendar loads, all the days are properly in place and the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGES runs correctly, highlighting the dates with events.
The problem occurs when the user changes the month. Everything again works the way it should except for the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE. This event only runs for each day the first time the calendar is loaded.
Code:
package classes {
//import necessary classes
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code].....
The AS2 DateChooser has just the functionality I need to build the events calendar that I have to build .. however .. while I know what to do in theory, I'm stumbling on (a) whether it will work and (b) syntax.
I want to display an instance of the DateChooser (myDate) and access the selectedDate property when the user selects a date. Then I need to pass it to the main events page preferably on the same page with something like this:
SELECT EventTitle. EventDescription, EventLink FROM Events
WHERE EventDate = MMColParam
MMColParam 1 myDate.selectedDate
The page itself is ASP. I am thinking I would probably define a variable and perhaps use LoadVars to load the selected date from Flash .. not something I have done before.
Perhsps something like
dim eventDate
eventDate = myDate.selectedDate
I'm sure that's not the syntax .. but I think that is the theory. I should be able to access the selectedDate property of the Date Chooser instance and feed the date into the query to select the events on that date and list them.
i am puttin together a calendar in flash, as it is ending up on a windows server in ASP, so the lovely PHP calendars wont work. I have been using the code from:[url]to get the months and days working, and have todays date highlighted. Now i need to work out a way that i can set this up to call a flash movie onto a higher level which contains the events of the day you click on. Such as: Because the dates are determined and inserted via AS, im not sure how to set this up, or if it is even possible...

View 3 RepliesI would like to know if there is a way to create a calendar page on my site that will display the free Google Calendar? I have embedded code in a Myspace site before and it worked well, but have no experience with the IFrame code that Google Calendar uses. fyi- I just bought Flash a month ago and have been editing a template that I purchased to be my new website.
View 1 RepliesI am building a project with a Scrolling Horizontal MC. You can see an example at www.teamxposure.com/hemi ... At present when the scrolling images load they don't move in either direction. When the mouse is placed on the project the scroller moves in the correct direction or pauses if mouse is centered ... this all works great.
What I need is ... when the MC loads I would like the images to start to scroll slowly from the right to the left. When the mouse is placed on the images the original navigation would then take place.
I am just learning AS and had help by a friend, unfortunatley he is out of town and I really need to finish this project. So while I understand "some" AS ... please "assume" I know "little" (ty).I don't know that attachment limits (size) ... if it can be loaded I will.
The script I have for the MC is as follows:
Code:
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.showMenu = false;
[code]....
I have played with the dx var, but it does not seem to work. If I put the number 10 it will start the scroll, but stops rather quickly. If I put the number 100, it will scroll a little longer but also stops.I "think" if I was to put an onClipEvent handler on the scrolling conveyor image it might work, but nothing I have tried seems to.when the movie is played there is one spot in the conveyor that has a jump to it. What would cause this? I would understand if the MC was tweened, but it is scripted on a conveyor so it doesn't make sense to me.

How do you turn a date of bith into months. im doing this:
var dobDate: Date = child.CHILD_DOB; //10th Feb 2008var daysSince:uint = Math.floor((nowDate.time - dobDate.time) / DateTime.DAY); var monthsSince:uint = Math.floor( daysSince / AppConst.DAYS_IN_MONTH);
trace(daysSince) //603 - correct
trace(monthsSince) //20 - incorrect (it should be 19)
note:
AppConst.DAYS_IN_MONTH = 30
DateTime.DAY = 86400000

I am sorting xmllist profilexml. In the list dates and months are sorted using SortField. It is sorting up to September month. After that Oct, Nov, and Dec are coming and displaying on the top in the datagrid.
finalList = new XMLListCollection(profileXml);
var sortL:Sort = new Sort();
sortL.fields = [new SortField("startDate", true)];
[Code]....
<startDate>2/15/2011</startDate> as per my understanding it is sorting until 0-9 numeric fields only. Is there anything I need to add in this code for numeric sorting?
I have a calendar written in Flash (ActionScript). The calendar displays events on it. I am seeing an issue today (March 31) with any months that have less than 31 days in them. Here's the code:
myDateate = new Date();
myDate.setUTCFullYear(2011);
myDate.setUTCMonth(3); //April
myDate.setUTCDate(21);
Alert.show(myDate.toDateString()); <-- Shows May 21, 2011
This is also broken for ANY month that has less than 31 days. So if I was to substitute 1 (feb), 5 (june), 8 (sept), or 10 (nov), it will show me the following month rather than the month I specify. If I set my system clock to April 1, the alert shows the correct date I specified which is April 21, 2011. Has anybody else experienced this kind of behavior? This is also broken if i use the non-UTC methods.
I am working with a Flex DateTimeAxis. I have a scenario where the DateTimeAxis sometimes creates duplicate months on the Axis. The month label unit is generated based on a min/max value that is supplied to the DateTimeAxis, it is NOT generated by the series data as far as I can tell. In other words, the duplication does not exist within the data supplied to the chart, but is part of automatic label generation process that DateTimeAxis will execute when supplying a min/max value for the axis.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have to validate that 1) the end Date is not less than the start Date and 2) the difference between the two UTC Dates is not more than 12 months. To do this, I need a monthDifference function:
public static function monthDifference(start:Date, end:Date):int;
Since partial months can be confusing, this is how month differences are supposed to work:
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and January 31, 2010 is zero (0).
The month difference between January 31, 2010 and February 1, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and February 28, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and March 1, 2010 is two (2).
How can I calculate month difference in ActionScript 3.0?
I'm using greensock to create the tweens, but I need to be able to have the months continue their animation if I ROLL_OUT of 2008 Additionally, I need to set the timeline.reverse(); on all the months, but that doesn't seem to be working, and I think it's because I have it set to pause. is anyone familiar with tweening libraries? Can this be fixed? I tried doing timeline.duration but that just sends the animation to the end and I want it to animate to the end-not just go there.
View 1 Repliesi've got a couple of different key functions that i want to put on two buttons:
one button triggers a loadMC function, which i also want to trigger w. the space key.
the other button hides/shows another MC, which i want to trigger w. 'tab'
the problem now is that only one works at a time--is there a way to get them to work simultaneously?
How long would it take for a raw beginner to learn Action Script 3 coding so as to have a basic understanding and an ability to code Flash.Also to be able to take existing code and adapt it to suit ones own flash project ?Are there any training videos on such or good books to read ?What is the best way of learning AS3 ?Is it in fact best to forget AS3 and get tuition in programming or some other discipline then take a look at AS3 and what timescale would be suitable to achieve this so as to meet the goal stated above
View 6 RepliesI have made a map which I have made scrollable across the stage using the keyboard arrow keys.
e.g:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(39)) {
_x=_x-4;
[Code]....
These on screen buttons allow the user to move the map every time they click however it would be more user friendly if these buttons continued to move the map on a hold down state until released or via rolling on/off.
I have several layers of scrolling BGs via action script. In between these layers are a set of simple buttons made via "button" symbols. Within the stage, the buttons are recognized, however, when I test the movie, the buttons are not recognized/activated by the cursor. My guess is that the scrolling BGs that are on top of everything else (NOT added via "addChild" in a blank movie clip below all other layers) are somehow "blocking" my cursor from reading the simple buttons "below" them.
For the visual aspect of the project, the scrolling BGs are needed both "below" and "above" the buttons, so I need a work-around for simple button use in this multi-level scrolling BG environment. (just to clarify, by "above" and "below" I dont mean vertically above and below, but rather "layered" above and below, so as to "cover" eachother).
Anyhow, I have a few buttons (six of them) to scroll from left to right non-stop via looping. Those buttons are in the up state. What I want to achieve is that when someone hovers over one of the buttons, the entire scrolling temporarily stops and perhaps the hovered button becomes larger as well. I'm sure you've seen something similar on ebay listings before shown as slideshows.
my Over buttons are managed via movie clips, but not the Up state buttons.
