ActionScript 3.0 :: Convert A String Date That Came From MySQL?
May 19, 2010
I retrieved the time from MySQL DateTime column and it's formatted just like this. "2010-04-30 04:12:07"How do I convert a MySQL DateTime so that I can display two seperate fields, I'd like to get "April, 30th, 2010" and "4:12 AM" separately.
Programming in Flex 4.5I'm getting a date as a String.I don't know what date or hour I'm getting.I want to convert the string to date and take only the hours & minutes.
is possible to convert a string to a date in actionscript 3. The program is simple, I need a user to enter a date using a text input field, then convert this to a date type in order to perform a calculation, the result of which is output to the user.
I have so far only been able to input and output a string. I can also output a date that is hardcoded, but have no way of using a date the user enters...
Here is my code:
//Add event listenter to button, when clicked call getInput method btnGo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,getInput); //Create an empty string variable
I want to convert a string to a date and I don't know how to do it. In my project, I load a XML file to get some date and compare them to the actual time, if the date is in the future I will add a movieclip to the stage with the info on that date, else it will do nothing.
Here is the code: //--- load the date info --- import flash.net.*; var xmldate:XML; var datelist:XMLList; var loaderdate:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loaderdate.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, whendone); [Code].....
And I have this error after running: 1120: Access of undefined property thedate.
Do I am able from some numbers like 132145 to make them look like that "13:21:45 Today" or "13:21:45 Tomorrow" !? I see that in AS2 this is able to do but don't know how to do it in AS3
I'm kinda new to Flex and I'm using Flash Builder 4.5. I'm so frustrated.. Trying to solve this since yesterday morning and seems like there is just not enough resources to learn more about Flex! so here is the problem: I have a db field with a "date" DataType and i just can't order by it the xField! i tried so many things and nothing works.. when i try to order it by the id its working but its not supporting dates or something.
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.
my date of string like (2009-12-03 21:05:00) date with time . so i used to store var newdate:Date=new Date(Date.parse(startdate)); but shows some errors.and also i tried to split string(date) used date function likevar datenumber:Number= (new Date(Date.parse(startdate))).getDate();
ok I have amfphp returning a query that is a Date data type in side of mysql. It is in this format "2007-27-5" which is a string. When making a date object in flash you need some thing like this
Code: var testDate:Date = new Date(2007, 4, 27); I would like to know if there is a short cut around this problem. As it would look now I need to take that string and have a regular expression pull the sub-strings ("2007", "5", "27") out and some how convert the sub-strings in to a numbers (2007, 5, 27), then set vars with the number latter sending it to that date constructor.
Anyone has experience to display the last log date from the mysql database to the flash?
i did it with the username - that was displaying but not the last_log_date anyone can profide suggestion or an easier method/solution? sample script would be coolz.
[Code]...
i read the data in actionscript with username_name and then display the data into the textfield. this worked for the username only but not for the last log date..
I've always just kind of randomly chosen DateTime or TimeStamp. What are the pros/cons of each and what do you use and why? (I realize some have more detail, I'm usually looking for year/month/day/hour/minute/second resolution and I'm currently working with PHP, AS3, and Objective-C.
I have a php page that sends xml compiled from data in a mysql table to my swf. The swf is actually an auction and I need to load in the' end time' of that item and do a date comparision for a countdown.
So what I'm asking for, in a nutshell, is for the best way to load in a date from a database in such a way that it can be used for date comparisons?
The mysql field is a datetime field. I can modify the format in php to whatever you feel in the best format (I need year, month,day,hour,min, seconds) - but I don't know what to do with the date once I have it in flash.
example xml: <Item end_time="2005-04-01 00:00:00" />
can I convert it into a valid date with out string manipulation? since the following doesn't work (obviously)
my_date = new Date(oXML.firstChild.attributes.end_time)
What I need is to be able to take the current time & substract it from the time in the xml to give me the remaining time.
I am using the function below to convert a Flash AS3 Date type to a MySQL- compatible 'datetime' string. It is working fine, BUT I am worried that AS3 may not extract the 'same date format' from different client computers thereby rendering my function useless.Is there a better way of passing date to MySQL? One that gaurantees consistancy.
public function getMySQLdate(flashDate:Date):String var year:String;var month:String;var day:String;var hours:String; var minutes:String;var seconds:String;
I have a timestamp in the form "1239315541" and I need to convert it to a readable date.How can I do that ? Is there a function that I can use ?(I am using Flash 8 and ActionScript 2.0.)
In one of my Flash-applications the users can save sales they do, and one important thing is the date for the sale and the user have to have the possibility to select the date he want's to. Therefore I got three drop-down-meny to registrate the date of the sale: one for day, one for month and one for year. Is there any way I can convert these three into a Unix Timestamp? (I save the data via PHP intro MySql-database).
i need to convert a given number to a date via function...
what i mean is lets say i give a number 8 to a function and it returns the correct date from 8 days from today(a. la. 29/12/20012). as that seems simple enough i also need it to work when the number is 2000 with correct month etc..
In flex (flash builder 4) I have a Date() property that I am passing to Zend AMF (php) and I want to store that (as well as other data) in mongoDB. Mongodb is complaining about the date because it comes across as a Zend_Date object, which appears to be an object containing several properties and Mongodb is saying that it can not accept blank properties. So, I take that to mean it needs to be converted to something else before I can store it? If so, how do I do that?
At the moment I have taken the approach of converting the Zend_Date object in to a date string to store it (in php): $object->readyDT=date("m/d/Y H:i", strtotime($object->readyDT)); //convert to string
That works fine, and I have a string in mongodb of that date. Now, when I load the date from MongoDB, I need to convert it back to a Zend_Date so it properly converts back in to a Date() object in flex (I have to check that it's not blank or it throws errors in php): if (isset($object->readyDT) && $object->readyDT!=="") $object->readyDT = new Zend_Date($object->readyDT, 'MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm');
This all works, but it seems like there should be a much easier way to take a Date() from flex and get it stored in MongoDB via Zend AMF/PHP. ?
I have a String in the format "20-Aug-2008". I want this to be converted to eithe20/08/2008 or 08/20/2008? How can I do this?I just want to remove all those hyphens from the String and convert it to a date value.The dateFormatter function accepts only date values in the format mm/dd/yyyy. used regex and removed all those hyphens,from the String. Now in an array I have the values, 20,Aug and 2008. How to proceed after that to convert to 20/08/2008?
Edit [Bindable]public var myDate:Date; public function init():void
