Example :
var month:Number;
var year:Number;
...... month and year changed by code .....
var aDate: Date = new Date(year, month);
How to get the number of days in "month"?

View 2 RepliesI am getting a problem when I try to get the days of a month here is my function:
ActionScript Code:
function days(year, month) {
var thisMonth = new Date(year, month);
var nextMonth = new Date(year, month+1);
var Ndays = ((((nextMonth-thisMonth)/1000)/60)/60)/24;
return Ndays;
}
In september and november I get 31 days. I didn't try yet the Math.round but I want to know if
there is a better way to do this?
On the DateChooser component, it shows the days for only the current month... but i'd like to show some of the previous month's days and some of the next month's days.Is there a property to set on the DateChooser component to show 42 days. I mean, to show some of the previous month's days + the current month's days + some of the next month's days. I'm not sure what this is called...If you look at a typical month calendar, for example for June 2011 it shows:
S M T W Th F Sa
20 30 31 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9 10 11
[code].....
Is there a property that I've overlooked which shows some of the days from the prev. month and next month in the current month view? Or would I need to extend the DateChooser component and override a method?
I'm trying to build a functionality into a Flash app, which would calculate the number of days that have passed since a defined date.
The idea is that a start date would be defined in the script (in whatever format) and the application would count and return the number of days since that date. According to that number the app would determine the availability of a set of links listed in the style of a calendar. I'm gonna be using a date variable from my servers to determine the current date.
How should I proceed with this? How should the varying number of days in months be handled? What about leap year?
I`m trying to build a navigation that displays all the days of a month in a single row. The days should be loaded calling its specific month array. How can I set actions to the itens in the array so I could load an external swf?

View 1 RepliesWe have an application in which the user has to enter a date who's value is no more than 30 days after the the current date (the date on which the user uses the application). This is a Flash application, therefore I need a way to add 30 days to the current date, and get the right date. [code]...

I was hoping you could help me with how to get the 22nd day of the previous month based on the current month you are in. Then, I would like to create a DataChooser and set it's start date to this date.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a way to use the date object to check the day of the month. If is the 23rd then play if not, do nothing. I looked at the date countdown tutorial, but I don't need to display the information just check the date. even if I hid the countdown info, once I hit the 23rd I am out of luck till the first of the next month, the "alarm" stays. Think of what I need as a date alarm, if it is the 23rd the alrm goes off, if it is not, then it is business as usual (this is tied into an analog clock that is supposed to have a monthly reminder for the 23rd). Getting the clock to work was cake, but I just can't get this "alarm" to work for me.
View 6 Repliesi created a DATE object.
Code:

View 1 RepliesI have a calendar written in Flash (ActionScript). The calendar displays events on it. I am seeing an issue today (March 31) with any months that have less than 31 days in them. Here's the code:
myDateate = new Date();
myDate.setUTCFullYear(2011);
myDate.setUTCMonth(3); //April
myDate.setUTCDate(21);
Alert.show(myDate.toDateString()); <-- Shows May 21, 2011
This is also broken for ANY month that has less than 31 days. So if I was to substitute 1 (feb), 5 (june), 8 (sept), or 10 (nov), it will show me the following month rather than the month I specify. If I set my system clock to April 1, the alert shows the correct date I specified which is April 21, 2011. Has anybody else experienced this kind of behavior? This is also broken if i use the non-UTC methods.
I am trying to out put a date that is 7 days ahead of the current date, I think I start of like thistodayDate = new Date()And then somehow it goes

I need to display something on my program just for one month. For example from the 1/25 to 2/25 I need to display something but at midnight on the 2/25 the the element has to disappear. I need to create a function to do that but I have no idea how to check the date. a lot
View 3 RepliesI'm working in CS4 and using ActionScript 2.0.I need to display a date that is five days in the future and a date that is five days in the past based on whatever the current date is on the user's system. The dates must be in the format M/D/YYYY.After much struggling, I figured out how to make the current date display by creating a dynamic text box named showtoday in a movie clip and adding the following ActionScript to the movie clip:[code](Please mentally replace the silly smiley face with a colon followed by a capital D.)Can anyone tell me where to go from here to add or subtract five days from the current date?
View 7 RepliesI have some code as follows:
private function onComboChange(evt:Event):void {
var temp:Date = df_date.selectedDate;
temp.date += 5;
df_dateDue.selectedDate = new Date(temp);
}
In essence, I am trying to add 5 days onto the selected date in df_date, and put that date into df_dateDue. This fires off via an EventListener on a combobox. Both df_date and df_dateDue are dateFields.
OK, so the first time that I run this, it works fine; df_date stays the same and df_dateDue is set to 5 days past df_date. However, the next time that I run it, df_dateDue increments by 10 days from df_date, the next time by 15, and so on.
So, stepping through the code shows that somehow df_date has become linked to the temp var, and that the temp var is not resetting itself each time the function is called.
Example: df_date = 01 Jan, df_dateDue = 01 Jan.
Fire off the event, df_date = 01 Jan, df_dateDue = 06 Jan Fire off the event again. At this point, var temp = 06 Jan (even though df_date still shows 01 Jan), and df_dateDue is then set to 11 Jan Fire off the event again. At this point var temp = 11 Jan (even though df_date = 01 Jan), and df_dateDue is then set to 16 Jan

View 1 RepliesI have this huge thing of actionscript (See below) which I wrote my self and unsurprisingly it has some problems, it is meant to get the day, date and month values and switch them to get the text equivilent of that integer.

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.
I have to make a counter which has the following:Initial value: 0Target value: 5000Date which the target should be achieved: 31 Feb 05 Date which the counter starts: 1 Dec 04So what i'm trying to do is a counter that will start from 0 on the 1stDec and will end with 5000 on the 31stFeb.However I need to be able to change both the initial and target value and the initial and target date.
View 1 Repliescan the date object be used to determine the calendar dates of the days preceding and following today?i.e.- if i use the date object to return that today is Wednesday, October 10, can i use it to determine that yesterday was October 11 and Tomorrow is October 12?I need to be able to do this for a custom application that displays info per MTWTF..i need to be able to have it automatically display real calendar dates (so it knows if it's the 31st or 28th or whatever and the next day is the 1st).

In my site I need to have the date available for viewers. I know how to display the date of the user and I would like to create an onion skin animation for each separate chatacter(yes, I know how to create an onion skin animation but not how to do it separate for each character). My problem is this: I want to display the name of the month, not the number. Now I want each character animated separately in the date animation. for example:
S would appear with an onion skin animation, then about a quarter second later all the other characters with the same animation, E, P, T, E, M, B, E, R, [space], 2, 4, [space], 2, 0, 0, 2. How can I code actionscript so that I can do this with the user's date? Sorry for my lack of description, its late and I can't think well.
