I need to load a movie only if it's a specific calendar date.

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).
I've got a function which looks at movieclips (ball#_mc) which have been placed in a target zone (_ballPlaced[#] boolean). It then decides where to go on each movieclip timeline depending on which other balls have been placed in a target zone.Only the first condition is ever met, i.e. when all the balls are in a zone, they jump to their correct places in their timelines....however, it doesn't work for any of the other 'else if' conditions?
Here's my code...
// function to determine which video to play for each ballprivate function playVideo(event:Event):void { if (ball0_mc._ballPlaced[0] && ball1_mc._ballPlaced[1] && ball2_mc._ballPlaced[2] && ball3_mc._ballPlaced[3]) { ball0_mc.gotoAndPlay("BluYelRedGre");
[code]....
Is there a better way to do use a use a boolean with visible? I'm setting up animations that have conditions for visibility, and I don't want to use something that performs poorly. This animation blinks 30 times and stops. It works without error, but takes a moment to load. I would like to learn other ways of using visibility with conditionals.
This is what I used 'waits before playing'
if(condition=5){
box.visible = !box.visible;
This works fine 'no pause'
if(condition<6){
box.visible = !box.visible;
[Code] .....
Just wanted to know if someone can explain the difference between these two conditionals:
if ( !object )
if ( object == null )
where object is an instance of a user-defined class.I'm sure that these two cannot be used in an interchangeable manner, or are they?
I've got a function which uses a 'hitTestObject' test if two moive clips are touching each other. A FOR loop has been used to run through all the zones, to check if they've been touched. Within this FOR loop is an IF condition which then locks the ball to that particular zone if the ball and zone are touching. The ELSE statement sends the ball back to a random place on the stage if they're not touching.
However, the IF statement seems to be getting bypassed. Whenever a ball is dragged over a zone and the mouse is released, rather than locking to that zone's x and y positions, it gets placed randomly on the stage...i.e. the ELSE statement is being activated all the time?! I've commented out the ELSE condition and the IF works fine on it's own, it's just when the ELSE condition is included the IF is bypassed.
ActionScript Code:
private function zoneFill(event:MouseEvent):void{
for (var i:uint = 0; i<=8; i++){
var index:Number = event.target.name.substring(5,6);
if(event.target.hitTestObject(zone[i]) && zoneFull[i] == false && event.target._ballPlaced[index]== false){

I'm working with CS4 and AS3 using timeline coding. I have three sets of movie clips in three different arrays. The idea is to have topArray and downArray movies make zeroArray movies visible. For instance, if topArray[0] and downArray[0] are clicked, then r0_0 becomes visible. PROBLEM: r0_0 becomes visible when EITHER topArray or downArray is clicked. How to make r0_0 wait until BOTH top and downArray movies are clicked?

I have the following: ActionScript Code: if ((player.charVelocity < 9.0180945396304027e-26 && player.charVelocity > -9.0180945396304027e-26)) it seems to be firing as soon as charVelocity gets between 1 and -1. Am I writing that correctly? I assume it would work as I copied the syntax it was outputting for the variable value (which is set to 'int')
View 5 RepliesI want to calculate the angle a line makes with the positive x-axis in a clockwise direction. It's a lot like a bearing except instead of North, I want the angle it makes with positive x-axis. The image illustrates what I'm after.
Below is the code I wrote to achieve this. It works fine but I am just wondering if there's a way to reduce all these if statements.
ActionScript Code:
/**

I have a XML file with a few concert dates. In my flash/AS3 file, I would like to show only the up coming event, relative to current date. Like this:
Event 01: 30-05-2010
Event 02: 02-06-2010
Event 03: 05-06-2010
Today is 28-05-2010, so I need to list Event 01. On 01-06-2010 I need to list Event 02. I have the basic AS3 code for listing the XML working, but I'm having trouble filtering the result.
I'm trying build a simple band site using flash and as2. All I want to have is a page listing shows that sorts them according to date and also when the show date has passed drops that entry from view.I can do this easily enough with a database and php but want to learn how to do it in actionscript. Here is what I currently have, shows load from the xml file into a simple textbox:
Code:
scrollBar.target = shows_txt;
showsXML = new XML();

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.
View 4 Repliesi'm working on a homework assignment in where we created a match game. It's up to me to figure out how to tell the action script which difficulty the user play the game at. There are 3 buttons easy, mediym, hard. Each one lays out an increased number of cards say 4 for easy 8 for medium etc.
we are supposed to use the switch conditional to do this.My problem is how does the switch know which button was clicked?here is the code so far, it is only set up for the easy at the moment.It works fine until I tried to set up the switch.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;[code]....
when I click the easy button in the swf file I get this message.
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property level not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value.

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.

View 1 RepliesI 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.
