ActionScript 3.0 :: Convert A String To A Date?
Jan 19, 2010
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
[code]....

how do we convert string which we get by reading a XML into date type instance value???
so there is a XML which has modifiedDate as an atribute on one node of the XML and how i do put that value into a variable of date instance??
the timeformat in the XML is: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss => 12/31/2010 23:57:46
i choose this time format because i want to use the .parse() method which still cause some error but this is for another topic..

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.

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.

Just wondering if there is a function to convert a date in as3 into other languages? (the day/month)
Or will it simply be a case of me writing a function to search the string and replace?

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).

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?

Is there some way in flex to parse strings to date. I want it to support custom formats similar to 'dateformatter'. Using 'dateformatter' class we can parse date object in various string formats as specified by 'formatString property'. I want it other way round, from string to date. The parse method 'Date.parse(my_string)' does string parsing but for a very limited set of formats. Can't we have something similar to following, where user can specify his/her own formats.
someformatter.formatString = 'HH::MM::SS' ;
mydate = someformatter.formatTodate('23::56:34');
Will 'parseDateString' method of dateformatter be useul here?

I have a date field in flex and have the format set to YYYY-MM-DD. As long as the user clicks the calendar pop-up it set's it that way. However, I need to allow the field to be human enter-able so they can type in a date.The problem is, most users want to type the format MM/DD/YYYY. I have a tool tip that shows the format, but how can I check the format and change it to the YYYY-MM-DD format, or do something else appropriate (alert?)?

I take a date (as a string data type) from the user. Now, I want to know if there is a a function in actionscript that will convert it to a date format. Right now, I am just parsing the string and concatenating the pieces back together. i.e.:
changeDateString = date.getFullYear().toString() + '/' + (date.getMonth()+1).toString() + '/' + date.getDate();
But for months like May, it will return "5" and not "05". I have similar problems for days like "9" or "7." Is there something in the library that will do this for me? (For the moment, I can go ahead and manually concatenate the "0" in front, but this seems like a hassle to do.)

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).
