Actionscript 3 :: Finds The Difference In Hours Between 2 Dates?
Sep 1, 2011
I'm hitting a wall on this one. My script finds the difference in hours between 2 dates, however..
var data:Array = ["2011-08-30 11:19:19", "01-09-2011 02"];
var aDate:String = data[0].split(" ")[0];
var dateElements:Array = aDate.split("-");
var date1:Date = new Date();
date1.setDate(int(dateElements[2]));
[Code]...
As you can see, the date elements trace out the way they should. Now try changing the first element of the data array to "2011-08-31 11:19:19". Although the date elements are fine, the last trace gives a totally weird value. What's even weirder is that when compiling this script a second time in Flash IDE, it takes a long time to compile, then traces nothing at all, as if the script times out.

I have been using a tidy little routine that I found here to calculate the difference in days between two dates in AS3. I am getting some strange results and I am wondering if any of you inter-codal-mega-lords can shed some light?

So I have 2 dates
Current Date
Event Date
Which traces
Current Date: Mon Feb 9 14:45:43 GMT-0500 2009
Event Date: Mon Feb 9 15:32:51 GMT-0500 2009
Now what I am trying to do is compare those dates and output the difference.

how can I get Flash to find the difference (in days) between two dates that the user enters? For example if I have six input text boxes and I call them:
day1
month1
year1
day2
month2
year2
respectively, how can I get a dynamic text box called, say, "output" to find the difference between two dates that the user enters into the six text boxes, e.g.
day1 - The user enters 03
month1 - The user enters 09
year 1 - The user enters 2006
day2 - The user enters 25
month2 - The user enters 12
year2 - The user enters 2006
How do I get Flash to find the difference between today and Christmas?

Example: "My site is [URL] and yours is [URL]. Is Fred's [URL]? Or is it[URL]? (I thought his site was [URL], but clearly it's not."
This should extract
[URL]
Notes: it should assume that any punctuation following the url is NOT part of the url, e.g. the comma after [URL], is not part of the url. This includes trailing question marks, which I realize in actuality COULD be part of the url. Of course, if a question mark is followed by querystring data, it SHOULD be considered part of the url. Note that urls might be followed by multiple punctuation marks, as in the the case of (Is your url[URL])?
Urls (and their trailing punctuation, if any) will always be followed by a space, a newline/return character -- or they'll be the end of the string being tested.The will be preceded by a whitespace character or, possibly, an open bracket or parenthesis, as in "Please visit my site [URL]." Or they'll come at the beginning of the string.This regexp should work for http, https and ftp.This is for an Actionscript project. I believe that Actionscript uses the same regular-expression engine as Javascript.

I'll start by posting my code then explain what I want it to achieve.
[Code]...
What I am attempting and failing to do after much trial and error is to have a random ingredient from the ingredientList array pushed into the previewIngredients array making sure the new value going in is not already in the preview ingredients array. If the same value is there I want it to keep choosing an ingredient from the list array until it finds a value thats not in the preview array then push that one in there. It feels like I'm getting close but obviously I'm either going about it the wrong way or just missing a little somthing somthing out.

I want to show a full 24 hours along the datetimeaxis wherever the values fed into it happen to fall. I thought that setting the minimum and maximum of a datetime axis on the chart would have that effect.
so I have private function loadDayComplete():void{ //called when data is reloaded. also includes reassigning the dataprovider of the chart.
[Code]...
When I load up the function though it doesn't plot any points when the min and max are set. If I take out the minimum and maximum they show up fine! I double checked in debug mode that the minChartDate and maxChartDate are what they should be.. but maybe I'm misunderstanding how minimum and maximum are supposed to function... I also tried widening the min/max to include several days and still no luck. I also tried assigning the min/max when the chart data changes like so:

[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?

I have recently developed a standalone Flash entertainment system, containing Flash games and screensavers etc., i have also included a third party mp3 player.
The problem i have is the PC is left switched on daily and the system is used quite heavily, i.e mp3's playing in background while screen savers are displayed and games are played.
Everything starts fine but after a few hours the flash animations slow down to about 2 or 3 frames per second, then the PC will finally crash.

I am a game programmer and i have made a game where there is a character which has to select the right pieces and avoid the wrong ones. the pieces/food come from top, the character jumps and fetches them. Thats why we are keeping a gap between the pieces to avoid the character touching the wrong ones.
Problem : When I win the game and keep re-playing it continuously for more than an hour i notice that the gameplay gets slow(slow FPS). The behavior and movement of the characters become slow. Upon playing for 3 hours the slowness is easily noticeable. This also happens when I minimize the game window or get the focus off the game to some other window for a long time (half an hour or more). The problem doesn't come if I play once or if I lose the game and try again. This comes when I keep playing it for a longer time.

I am building a scheduling system. The current system is just using excel, and they type in times like 9:3-5 (meaning 9:30am-5pm). I haven't set up the format for how these times are going to be stored yet, I think I may have to use military time in order to be able to calculate the hours, but I would like to avoid that if possible. But basically I need to be able to figure out how to calculate the hours. for example 9:3-5 would be (7.5 hours). I am open to different ways of storing the times as well. I just need to be able to display it in an easy way for the user to understand and be able to calculate how many hours it is.

This is my first time skinning a scrollbar and I ran into a issue. The button I click and hold to scroll up and down changes in size depending on how much content there is. Is there a way to keep the button from changing in size?
For example if my scrollbar button was a smiley face and I didn't want it to stretch.
I am changing my scrollbar components globally by creating an instance of my custom scrollbar and applying it via the style manager in my code.

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 ....

I have made a mp3 player that is working fine, it plays a mp3 radio stream for several hours (last crash was after 6,5 hours) and then it crashes without any message or exception. This is very difficult to debug because it only happen after a couple of hours with the same stream. It appear in all browsers so it is a Adobe Flash problem or is this a buffer problem?
Must i use other buffering settings to play MP3 streams? Does anybody know this problem and what can be done to avoid this? Also another question is why memory consumption after hibernation of the pc is growing dramaticly (every second it eats a couple of 10Kb). After refreshing the page it is stable again. Why is this happening? Mp3 player is made in Flash 9 (CS3) with AS3 and the player is Flash 10 (latest). Running on Windows XP Prof with 3GB RAM.

I've got nearly all of it working but the drag action of the scrubber. Seeks on MouseDown but doesn't drag. Oddly I've got this very functionality working for the audio volume scrub bar but not the playhead.
Here is the troubled portion of the code. Happy to send a src file:
Code:
// ScrubHandle Dragging Variables
var ratio_play:Number;
var playTrackBounds:Rectangle = controls.trackbar.getBounds(controls);
var playXpos:Number = playTrackBounds.x;

if I have a map of say, Wisconsin, and I know what the Latitude coords (degrees, hours, minutes) of the top and bottom of the map, and I know how many pixels tall the map is, then I should be able to convert, with math, degrees:hours:mins to pixels. (same thing with longitude, but lets just focus on one way first)
I would first find out how may hours (minutes would be over kill for my app) there are to a pixel. Thats pretty easy. But this gives me a decimal number. How do i convert a decimal value (like 10.25) back to degrees and hours (in other words, how do i make .25 a "60" based value)? Ultimately, i want the user to be able to input coords in the form of degrees, hours, mins. Then convert that to X, Y (to place a marker on the map).
Has any one had experience with this or know how to do this?
