If 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'm trying to figure out the code for an AS3 Calendar, does anyone here know how to get the day of the week the month starts on? I've seen examples on php but not in as3!
View 10 RepliesTo 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 as this working in AS2 and need to update to AS3...shows that AS3 doesn't like sloppy coding. Here's what I need: I pull data from an XML and that works when I put the data into a dynamic text box. However, I can't seem to get the date of birth into a variable. I have some code that calcs age in years but uses a string literal that I thought I could just replace with a variable from my XML...ain't a workin'. Here's the code I have:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.events.*;

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'm using this great XML Calendar for a friend's band's website. It works really well, but I can't seem to change it so Sunday is the first day of the week.Below is the main code of the calendar, so if any kind soul could give it a looksee,

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.
View 1 RepliesI making a flash contact form for reservations. I dragged the DateField component onto the stage, gave it an instance name of rDate_txt and it works great in picking a date and sending to my php emailer. Its formatted like 10 Apr 2008.Now, Im trying to calculate the day of the week based on the date. I can calculate todays date with...
Code:
myDate = new Date();
daytext = myDate.getDay();
switch (daytext)
{

get the date chosen from the DateField component?Once I get the day of the week, I need to make a different ComboBox visible if its a Friday or Saturday. So I would think I need to set up an onchange listener?
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
View 3 RepliesHow 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

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.
