[code]This passes the date to another function that uses the date to see who in my office is oncall in the database and displays their name. The problem is, everyone that is oncall has to be oncall until 7am the next morning. So this works great IF they were off at Midnight each night. Is it possible to subtract 7 hours from this date?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to determine the difference in time between todays date and a future date. I only need to determine how many months and days it is between todays date and this future date. Anyone know of any prebaked scripts anywhere for determining what todays date is and subtracting it from the end date would be? [code]So if today's date is less then the end date I'd like to determine how many months and days are left until the end date is reached and display the number of months and days until that end date.

How to fix date to retrieve minutes/hours with zeros ?
E.g. it's 05:09 AM >
trace(_date.getHours()+":"+_date.getMinutes()); //5:9
But I want 05:09 instead of 5:9 - so how to add zeros?
var _date = new Date();
_min = _date.getMinutes();
//fix date:
var _str:String = _min.toFixed(1);
_min = Number(_str);
trace(_date.getHours()+":"+_date.getMinutes());
= 5:9 ....

When i test it, I got this text: UNDEFINED But if I write clock.text = date; It works
But why doesn't seconds, hours, or minutes work

I am kind of new to Actionscripting, and I have kind of hit a brick wall. I have a variable that I want to subtract the number one from, but I have this formatted incorrectly.

var number2 = 10
And in the stage i have 3 dynamic text boxes. The 1 one has the variable number1 the secound one has the variable number2. But how do i do so in the third box it says 20? I want it to substract number1 and number 2 and show that in the box.
i'm trying to subtract a very small value from given height.

I am trying to build a game just for fun and i found something interesting that i really don't know how to do, so any help that you can give me is going to be useful, this is what i need to do, i have a movie clip and i want to subtract another one from just like THIS i can detect the contact but i don't know how to do that.
View 8 RepliesWhen getting the rotation of a movie clip I sometimes get a number like this: -1.4033418597069754e-14
And this number seems to break simple math. see my code below:
var thisRot:Number = rotation;
trace("thisRot: " + thisRot);
//outputs - thisRot: -1.4033418597069754e-14
[Code].....
How can -1.4033418597069754e-14 round down to 0? And Math.round(thisRotAbs) also results in 0. So how can this be? And how can 180 - -1.4033418597069754e-14 = 180?

I'm working on a game for young children and basically I have a dynamic text field with two buttons - one to increase the digit by one, and one to decrease the digit by one. The problem I am having is that although the box starts at 0, you have to click the add button twice to get it started (the same thing with the minus button). After two presses, it increases fine with each single click.

I have the following code from a tutorial on Kirupa:
Code:
_root.currMovie = "home";
container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");
_root.home.gotoAndStop(2)
[Code]....
As you can see are the button names: home, about, service and contact. This are also the names of the external swf's. But now I have chanced my button names in: btn_home, btn_about, etc. Now is it a little stange to name my external swf's btn_home etc, so how can I substract the prefix btn_ from the buttons so that the externa swf's can keep their normal names? I know it has something to do with substr but I don't know how and where to implement it.

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.
