I have time in UTC format coming from a different application. Now i can convert it into browsers timezone and show the time properly.However the problem is I want to show the Short code for time zone instead of TZD that is used by default.

I need to pass my Date information to a webservice in the following Format:
(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm) 2008-03-12T00:00
But Flash returns me the date object as below format:
Sat Jan 14 11:32:03 GMT+0530 2012
Is there anyway I can modify the date object to hold the datetime as in the format below ,i.e:
(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm) 2008-03-12T00:00
I have a requierement in my project that i need to store 'US/Eastern EST' and day light saving 'US/Eastern EDT' in data base if client machine is in US/Eastern time zone. Because this gives clear identification instead of justing the chars like 'EST'. There is CDT in US region as well as Chaina too so can't relay just on three chars like 'EST'/'EDT'.
View 3 RepliesI am working on an application that is near the end of its development cycle and has mostly passed user testing. We recently realized that having flex convert dates to the client's local timezone is not desired, as all of our dates are in EST and contain no time data. Since BlazeDS sends dates in UTC, this results in the dates being converted to the day before in timezones west of EST.
The best solution is to go in and refactor all dates to adjust for the timezone offset, but that is just not doable at this stage. Since all dates in our application don't care about time, I would really like to be able to intercept all Date objects that come across BlazeDS and adjust for the timezone offset.

this is the code i came up with and is not working. I want this on a frame on main timeline and
nyeve.onEnterFrame = function() {
nyeveDate = new Date();
seconds = nyeveDate.getSeconds();
minutes = nyeveDate.getMinutes();
hours = nyeveDate.getHours();
[Code]...
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 am trying to send the time to flash but set to the currently timezone. When you view the below even though the echo date, looks like its working the $time is the same. When i test in flash I get the extra hour added.
$format = "d/m/Y H:m:s";
$timezone = "Europe/Amsterdam";
date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
echo "<h1>Timezone ".$timezone."</h1>";

I've developed an FLEX application for distributed data administration. When our Asian employees specify a date, it will be saved +1 day.If I check my timezone offset it is +60, their offset is +520.
var dNow:Date = new Date();
trace("Your time zone offset: " + dNow.getTimezoneOffset() + " minutes");
I assume this is the problem? If so, would you suggest that I correct the entered date by 460 minutes before sending it to our server for saving? How to do that?
i have been creating many flash clocks, but with the normal code, i mean, the code to show the time on every computer of each visitor.
What i must know is how to make a normal flash clock show the time of a specific world time zone, i know that they work from -5 , -4 ... 0 ... +1 , +2 ... .
So i have this flash clock, and it has this action script code:
Code:
myTime = new Date(year, month, date, hour, min, sec, ms);
minutes = myTime.getMinutes();
hours = myTime.getHours();
[Code]....
what code must i enter or substitute in the code above to show the time of a specific world time zone?
I'm working with an AreaSeries + DateTimeAxis in Flex 4. The dates for the time axis originate from a server in another time zone. I'd like to see the graph (in my local time zone) displayed using the server's time zone.I know that I can set the DateTimeAxis.displayLocalTime property to true or false, to have dates displayed in the local or UTC time zone. But the time zone I want is neither of those.Is there a simple way to make DateTimeAxis work with another time zone? Or even a complicated way?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to create a countdown timer (dd:hh:mm:ss) to 12am central time on the front end only?
So users in all timezones would get a clock that is counting down using central time rather than their current computer time?
I'm trying to do this without using backend scripts, but I'm not sure if its possible.
i have a flash site that i need to put in a page a list of the food menu, in this site will have 6 menu's of food, and each menu is for one week, in first week will have the first menu untill the last week that is the six will have the sixt menu, than it will return in the beginning and starts again. Basically the menu's will make a loop in the weekends. I was told me that its better to do in javascript since it looks like in actionscript isn't possible, so i think ill export the info of a html page to a swf.My question is how can i control in javascript a event of a object whit my time zone and days.
View 1 RepliesI have a countdown timer that will be used for events that happen locally central time, mountain time, etc. However, if someone on eastern or pacific time (or any variation of the 4 timezones) looks at the countdown timer, I want to make sure that it shows the time relative to their timezone.I thought i could read the user's timezone offset (Date.getTimezoneOffset) and subtract from it the hardcoded timezone offset of the event (passed as a variable from XML depending on the event's "primary" timezone).
Am I getting the math here wrong? The "net" timezone offset from the user - the event timezone offsets SHOULD add into the countdown time.However, Date.getTimezoneOffset, regardless of my Mac or PC timezone setting/time, keeps showing an Eastern timezone offset of 5 hours. What's going on?The time is correct when I hardcode an event timezone offset to anything other than Eastern time. I think the problem is that it's not getting a user timezone offset OTHER than -5 hours for Eastern Time.Code for the timer is here (assume that the target event timezone has been passed in):
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();

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 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();

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.

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.
