ActionScript 3.0 :: Find The Date In A Program?

Feb 14, 2010

I need to find the date in a program I'm writing, but I need to know it's accurate. Does anyone know how reliable the Date method is in AS3 at returning the actual correct date? For example, Date.dateUTC should return the date of the month according to Greenwich Mean Time, but as I assume Flash looks up the information from the users operating system. Is it safe to assume this will be correct? In windows for example, you can set the date in the calendar to anything you want - would this affect the value returned by Flash?

Flash :: Professional - Animation Working In Program Preview - Not In Browser With Up To Date Player

Mar 27, 2012

After hitting next on this animation you can see there appears to be blank areas on the animation. If you mouse over them you will see buttons appear which is their "over state." When I publish the animation and preview it in Adobe Flash CS5.5 all the buttons are visible and work correctly. It is only in the brower (chrome, firefox, safari) with up to date Flash Player that is is not working. This is happening in a number of animations I created originally in CS4 last year, and am updating them as CS5.5 using AS3.

Actionscript :: Create An XML Of Several Images (positive And Negative) But Can't Find A Program That'll Do That For Mac OS X

Jun 2, 2010

I have an object that I want to be able to recognize in AS3.There's a port of OpenCV for AS3 already, that works with Haars cascades, so now I need to create a cascade of my object.

From what I've read, I'll have to create an XML of several images (positive and negative), but I can't find a program that'll do that for Mac OS X.

Is there anything I can use that'll generate that XML on Mac OS X?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Find The Last Modified Date Of The File?

Jan 31, 2009

Im working on a project where files are being loaded using the URLloader in flash as3. I need to be able to find the last modified date of the file that is being loaded, unfortunately the files may not always be on the same server as the flash app, so it may not always be possible for me to add a line to the file that has the last modified date, that could be read easily in flash. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to retreive this information, I know in air you can use URLLoader.httpResponseStatus which allows you to get the http headers and find it that way but it doesnt appear to work in flash.Id like to try to do this with out having to call on javascript or php to find it, since it would then require 2 connections per file i believe to be able to do everything I need 1 to get contents in flash, and one for either javascript or php to find the last modified date, but if I have to that seems to be the only option I can come up with.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Find The Difference (in Days) Between A Date And The End Of The Year

Feb 23, 2011

I'm trying to find the difference (in days) between a date and the end of the year.

This code:
Code:
var NewYear = new Date((new Date()).getFullYear(), 11, 31);
var CalcDate = new Date();
DiffInDays = Math.floor((NewYear - CalcDate)/86400000);

Is nearly right, but it seems to be a couple of days out - If I run it as at today (Feb 23rd 2011), It gives me 310 days till the end of the year, whereas (by counting on all my fingers and toes) I get 313 days.

Display Value In Date Field Irrespective Of Date Format?

Sep 21, 2011

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change The Date Dynamically To The Next Date?

Sep 22, 2009

I have a situation where I have a date in this format.

Code:
var currentDate : String = "09/22/09"

and I want to be able to change this dynamically to the next date.like you had currentDate +1. The reason for this is the user selects this date but I want another field to display the next date after this.I thought about using the date object to take care of this for me but I'm not sure that will work.If I pass the date object this format it returns.

newDate = Wed Sep 22 00:00:00 GMT-0500 1909

I could start stripping out the currentDate and adding in lots of if statements for the month year and date and figuring out leap years but I thought the date object could solve all this.
