Actionscript 2.0 :: Goto Specific Frame Depending On Date?
May 7, 2011
I need to make a function (inside Flash) that will let a swf find out what date it is (each time it is loaded from a server) and then - according to the date - display a frame designated to that date. Optionally, I could have the swf load another swf based on the date.Originally I had planned to make some php wrap-around that would do the loading of different swf's for me - but this is not an option since the swf may soon be uploaded to a server that I cannot feed with php-documents (I don't get access for that - swf only!)So now I must find a way to do this within the swf. But as of right now I am clueless.
One thing I did learn during my googling the past many hours is that the "Date class" in Actionscript is risky - in that it 'reads' what date the end user has on his/her machine. So in the event that some user has the date misconfigured that will screw up what my swf will display.Therefore I am hoping that I could somehow do a variation of php's "echo date" and get the date from the server - but inside Flash. And then have that bit of data call for a certain frame/scene/loaded swf.

I was wondering if nayone knows how to have an animation play depending on the day of the month it is. I am working on an advent calander for a client and it would be nice if an animation would play depending on the day of the month.

I need some actionscript which I can put into a movie and when that movie gets to a certain date i.e. my birthday the file redirects to my website. I would like the movie to always redirect to my site, even when that date has passed.

When I replace "currentFrame" with a number, say 10, it doesn't work either. This should be so simple but I just don't get it.

Just when i think I have learned something and can make something work I find out I know less than nothing. its either laugh or tear my hair out (thinks there must be a lot of bald actionscripters) LOL
this is the code i came up with and is not working. I want this on a frame on main timeline and
nyeve.onEnterFrame = function() {
nyeveDate = new Date();
seconds = nyeveDate.getSeconds();
minutes = nyeveDate.getMinutes();
hours = nyeveDate.getHours();

I setup this conditional statement. My intention was that if the object
foot_mc was on point0_mc then it will go to frame 5
OR
if foot_mc was on point1_mc it will go to frame 10....
function Oncheck(evt:MouseEvent):void{
if(foot_mc == point0_mc) return;{
gotoAndStop(5);
} if(foot_mc == point1_mc) return; {
gotoAndStop(10);
} if(foot_mc == point2_mc) return; {
gotoAndStop(15);
}}
I get no errors but it will always go to frame 15. Instead I want it to go to the selective frames depending on where foot_mc is...

I want to beable to automatically load an external txt file into my flash movie according to what date the computer thats viewing is running.
Heres what I mean. If the computer that is viewing my swf file has the date Friday 1 Jan 2004 then txt file "1" would load and show. If the day was 5 Jan then txt file "5" would load and show.
I have hunted around for a tutorial for this but havint been able to find one. At the moment I am using simular script used in the display date & time tutorial on this site, if that helps.

I'm trying (and struggling) to get my head around AS3 and am building a flash webpage. I have 2 layers in the timeline, each containing a movie clip matching the page size with instance names backgroundDay and backgroundNight. What I'm wanting is for the background to change for the day and night, so that from 18:00 to 06:00 the alpha of backgroundDay becomes 0 to show backgroundNight behind.

I have 4 arrays named array1 to array4, is there any way to reference them dynamically? What I mean is if I have for example
var currentValue:int = 3;
and I want to be able to access a specific array depending on that value, is there an easy way to do that in AS3?In as2 you could do something along the lines of
("array" + currentValue);
but that doesnt work in AS3

I am getting better at Flash 8, but I have a problem. I am in a Movie Clip, and when you press 'g' it returns you to the first scene, and I want it to go to the second scene.
on(keyPress "g"){
_parent.gotoAndStop("Scene 2",7);
}
Is there a way you can do that?

at first, I thought I could manage this myself searching the forums about "preloader" but none of the solutions seem to work. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm using the FLVPlayer with an external file. What am I looking for?
1. Well, the preload code for frame 1 that makes sure the external F4V (movie.f4v in the same dir) is loaded 100% before it jumps to frame 2 where the movie should start playing...
2. If possible, a progress bar.

I have a progress bar as a healthbar in a game. The healthbar regenerates 10 pr millisecond for now because i like the smoothness. But if the delay increases it would take a lot longer to regenerate.
Aren't there any formular to calculate some kind of factor for this? so the lifebar would regenerate within a constant time no matter what. If the delay is 2 seconds it would just make the regen more choppy and if delay is 1 millisecond it would just update more.
