I'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'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.
View 1 Replies[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?

What is the best way to find this? Is there any useful library for flex for such date operations like JodaTime in Java.
I'm sure there's a simple method or function out there to do this (at least I'm hoping there is). I want to return the name of a day of the week for a specific date using ActionScript.
For example, if I provide "2/2/2011" as a parameter, it should return "Wednesday". What's the best way to make this happen?
While both of them will work, I'm curious to know if anyone can think of a reason why one would be preferred over the other.
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 te load tour-dates from an XML-file into Flash using XMLConnector and a DataSet. So far...no problems. Now I want to filter out all dates prior to the current date.
View 1 Repliesmytext.text = Date();
it doesn't work.
I'm currently working in Flash mx 2004 and am creating a version of 'what happened in history today'. So my final layout will have the following iobjects.
Heading: 'current date'
Title: 'On this day in History'
Text box: Which displays the right description from a text file. history.txt
Image box: which displays a pic related to the current date.
I know basic Flash but have been playing around for ages am having real trouble getting things to work correctly. The main priority is to get the text loaded based on the current date. I have an images folderwhere the pictures are stored with files names related to date i.e. 14feb.jpg and my history.txt file is set out with a line for each date. i.e., 14feb=Valentines Day etc.
how to control the display of pictures by date?
I want to display images based on the date. Then it changes to the next one. For example for March it would be picture: img01.jpg and for April I would like the flash movie to automatically load the next picture: img02.jpg.
If I have my date field/chooser set to show today (current day will be highlighted when selecting a date) can I disable the user from choosing dates that fall before the current day?

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 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.
on (release) {
var currentslide = 2
var subtractedcurrentslide = (currentlide - 1);
txt = String(subtractedcurrentslide);
var myString = subtractedcurrentslide + '.' + 'swf';
loadMovie(myString, "rightcontent_MC")
[Code]...
i have something like this in the frame:
var number1 = 10
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.
myMC._height -= .05;
it just doesn't subtract anything. so is flash ignoring to subtract it, possibly because i've too much in my flash file? then again, this works: myMC._height -= .20;
