I could not find a method in Flex Date object to get the week of year (1 to 52)
What is the best way to find this? Is there any useful library for flex for such date operations like JodaTime in Java.
For example, today is Tuesday, Feb 02. Well the equivalent "Tuesday" from last year was on Feb 03. How can I find this out programmatically?
View 2 RepliesI'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.
Say for instance you have a weekly competition and the next draw for the competition is on the 29 January 2010, how would I create a weekly updater so that once the 29th January arrives the following friday "date" is displayed.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to find the difference (in days) between a date and the end of the year.
This code:
Code:
var NewYear = new Date((new Date()).getFullYear(), 11, 31);
var CalcDate = new Date();
DiffInDays = Math.floor((NewYear - CalcDate)/86400000);
Is nearly right, but it seems to be a couple of days out - If I run it as at today (Feb 23rd 2011), It gives me 310 days till the end of the year, whereas (by counting on all my fingers and toes) I get 313 days.
Any way to get the full time in one parameter? I need to get the date, month and year, I tried the get.date, get.month, and get.fullyear but doesn't work for me, cuz im creating a calendar with different text in every day of the year but I need to hide the text from today and on, and show the text from today to past. I am posting the fla. and I am trying with the button place on may 25th.

View 3 Repliesis there a custom component that extends DateChooser that only has the month and year but not the date grid to select a specific day. All i need is the month and year not any specific day. if the month is changed i could use the change event to select the 1st day of that month
View 2 RepliesI am builder a graph that is going to cover an entire month. The user may change the Month/Year but there is no point in choosing a date for the month as it is going to show the entire month anyways. So is there a way to maybe make the DateChooser date always the first and only allow the user to pick the month and year?
View 1 RepliesI want a to user a DateChooser to allow a user to select a date in a given month and year. I want to set the month and year programmatically and only allow the user to select the date/day. I can do this for the year easily by setting the minYear and maxYear to whatever year I want, but I am not seeing a strait forward way of disallowing the user to select a different month?
View 4 RepliesI'm using a CartesianChart with a DateTimeAxis to display weekly data in a Flex application.When I set dataUnits="weeks" and labelUnits="weeks" on the DateTimeAxis, it automatically places each major tick on a Sunday. However, I would like to provide users with the option of beginning the week on a Sunday or a Monday. How can I ask the DateTimeAxis to instead place the major ticks on a Monday (or some other day of week)?For example, if the user is looking at total sum of something over the week, and requests that weeks start on a Sunday, the Series data would look like:
x: Date(July 11, 2010) y: 25
x: Date(July 18, 2010) y: 30
x: Date(July 25, 2010) y: 32

I need to create a timeline between 2 given dates, ie:2006-01-20 - 2009-02-14

I am experiencing a very strange behavoiour of Flex Date object. My web service is written in .Net 3.5 and all object which I am retriving or updating have Creation Date (Date Type) in .Net code.
But when I am calling .Net web service and displaying data in Flex, Flex displaying a different Date than what stored in web service. When I update my object using Flex UI, every time update time is very different than actual update time set by .Net code.
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 have a form in which i add two dates
Start date
End Date
I want to know how i validate that the selected start date is always less than end date(actually an expiry date).
I'm building an application that is simulair to a realtime world clock. I want to be able to show the current day of the year and the current second of the year. Based on those variables I will calculate realtime data basd on data that I will put into the application monthly. I have written a script, but it's not very accurate. I think the time part of the script is slipping for some reason. Plus I have to account for leap years.

how to get a name of day knowing the number of day , month and year.
Example:
i have this movieclip for February 2009

i want obtain for each number any name of a day.
I've been trying to figure out a code for the last week or so and I have had no luck . I'm trying to make an event.listerner in actionscript 3.0 that detects for a "S" key and then opens a new url with a separate swf. file upon the pressing of the "S".

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a lil' animated weekly meal plan that'll be played in my school's cafeteria. It gets the meal info from an external text file that the staff update every weekend for the coming week.Preface: I know my way around Flash relatively well, but don't have any formal training or much experience with Action Script.
What I would like to do is to automatically highlight the meals for the current day via Action Script. It drives me crazy that I know this is possible, most likely not overly complex, and that I've got all the basic elements assembled already.The problem is that I don't know the Syntax that would allow me to put it all together and get it working.I can create an array for the days of the week and trace the result, like so:
ActionScript Code:
var days:Array = ["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"];
var my_date:Date = new Date();
trace(days[my_date.day]);
Now I'd like to take the result, number representing the day of the week, and see if that is the current day. If so, I'd like this result to cause the alpha of my background MC to change (I'm doing this via TweenMax):
ActionScript Code:
if day == 0 //Day is Sunday
TweenMax.to(bg0, 2, {alpha:0.9}); // change the alpha of "bg0" to 0.9
else
[code]....
And lastly, since the computer running the swf is being turned off every night and back on every morning I don't really need this run at a certain interval (i.e. every 24 hours), correct?
