Flash :: Comparing Date Objects In As2
Jan 5, 2010[Code]...
Obviously the two date objects are somehow subtly different, and that difference somehow gets overlooked when they're parsed out as strings, but how are they different?

Date :: Comparing Two Date Values In ActionScript - Compare Whole Day Values?
Sep 4, 2011I need to be able to compare the number of whole days between two dates in ActionScript, is this possible? I'd like to test if one date is 7 days or less after today, and if so is it one day or less (if it's before today this also counts).The workaround I have in place is using the .time part of the date field:
// Get the diffence between the current date and the due date
var dateDiff:Date = new Date();
dateDiff.setTime (dueDate.time - currentDate.time);[code].....
As I say - this is only a workaround, I'd like a permanent solution to allow me to check the number of whole days between 2 dates. Is this possible?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Comparing Two Arrays (one With Objects)?
Apr 2, 2011I'd like to know how to compare one array to another array with objects.
For example:
Array1 = [one, blue, car];
// there will always be only one entry in this array - no Array1[1], no Array1[2], etc.
Array2 = [product.number, product.color, product.type, product.cost, product.qty];
The actual content in Array2 would be something like this:
Array2[0] = [three, green, boat, 100, 5];
Array2[1] = [two, blue, truck, 200, 3];
Array2[2] = [one, red, car, 50, 20];
...and so on, up to about 60.
I'm trying to figure out to go through all of Array2 to determine if there's a match to Array1. Since none of the entries in Array2 are the same, there will always be one match.In this instance, I want to match array1 with product.number, product.color, and product.type. My example has them as the first 3 criteria, though that may not always be the case.
Something along the lines of this:
Code:
function findMatch () {
for(i = 0; i < Array2.length; i++) {
if(all 3 Array1 items equals items in Array2[i]) {
[code]...
Background: I've a combobox search that allows a user to select from drop-downs. After a user selects items from all 3 drop-downs, they click a submit button, and there's a check to see if the criteria in the drop-downs matches anything in the Array2 (which it should, if you can select it, then it's in the array).
After that, the matched information is used to populate a movieclip. There's actually about 20 pieces of information associated with each product. However, I only need to match 3 of them.I've searched and found comparisons for arrays. But I don't see how they'd apply to my issue as I'm using objects and there are more items in array2 than in array1. Of course, they may apply, and I'm just not understanding how. I could create a 3rd array and move only the items needed for a match from the array2 to it. Then I could do a straight comparison between array1 and array3.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Comparing Two Nested Objects?
Oct 28, 2009So I am trying to populate a user state from XML in such a way that a new user will start with a set of default variables.
An example default state might be:
Code:
state={obj2:{foo:"bar"}};
This would then be changeable by the user so his foo could later be "bar2" and that would be saved to a database.
Now, let's say I want to add a new node to the xml, so the default would be:
Code:
default ={obj2:{foo:"bar", foo2:{foo:"bar"}}};
An earlier user would have no foo2, so an attempt to use state.obj2.foo2.foo on a text field would generate an error.
What I'd like to be able to do is see if state has a value and if not, fill the user's data with the matching node in the default (in pseudocode):
Code:
if (some function (state.obj2.foo2.foo ) is not there) {
// fill with default
state.obj2.foo2=default.obj2.foo2
}
ActionScript 3.0 :: Comparing Objects Binary Representation?
Oct 14, 2009I have some objects that are very, very likely to be equal. I'm comparing them every second to check if they're the same as one stored in a data model on the client.Instead of having to check 5-6 data points to make sure they're equal, I would like to compare the binary to tell if they're not equal, so I can quickly overwrite the object in the collection if they do not have an identical binary representation.for example, I have the following objects:
ActionScript Code:
class tag{
var xCoord;
[code]....
So, instead of doing this sort of comparison for every member in the class
ActionScript Code:
if ( tagOne.xCoord != tagTwo.xCoord ){
swapTagsInCollection (tagOne, tagTwo);
}
I would like to do something like this.
ActionScript Code:
if ( tagOneBinary != tagTwoBinary ){
swapTagsInCollection (tagOne, tagTwo);
}
ActionScript 3.0 :: Date To Rotate Objects?
Mar 18, 2010I created a script that will rotate a different ad every day, based on a comparison of the current date & the ads assigned day. The bug in the script is that the number of ads vs the number of days may be odd, so the last one or two ads will miss a (days) rotation every month. Is there a way I can get this to work so every ad hits its rotation.
var displayAdOne:Array=new Array;
var displayAdTwo:Array=new Array;
var displayAdThree:Array=new Array;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using SortOn With Date Objects?

View 1 RepliesActionscript :: Calculate The Difference Between Two Date Objects, In Months?
Feb 16, 2011I have to validate that 1) the end Date is not less than the start Date and 2) the difference between the two UTC Dates is not more than 12 months. To do this, I need a monthDifference function:
public static function monthDifference(start:Date, end:Date):int;
Since partial months can be confusing, this is how month differences are supposed to work:
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and January 31, 2010 is zero (0).
The month difference between January 31, 2010 and February 1, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and February 28, 2010 is one (1).
The month difference between January 1, 2010 and March 1, 2010 is two (2).
How can I calculate month difference in ActionScript 3.0?
Actionscript 3 :: Flex - Methods Not Found On Date Objects?
Jan 15, 2012I am trying to compile some example actionscript code. In Flex (Flash Builder 4.6) I imported a project folder (happens to be the PurePDF examples). In a few places, I have yellow "?" icons when looking at the source files - though there are no warnings or errors showing up for them yet (I do have other errors I am addressing). This is an example - when I hover the "?" icon, I see access of undefined property getTime:
[Code]....
I cleaned up the errors I mentioned, and these yellow "?" marks still appear when viewing the code. There are no warnings or errors in the 'problems' window, but these question marks I describe are still there. Even if I close the file and clean the project and re-open the file.

Java :: Intercepting Date Objects Coming From BlazeDS And Adjusting For Timezone Differences?
Oct 27, 2010I am working on an application that is near the end of its development cycle and has mostly passed user testing. We recently realized that having flex convert dates to the client's local timezone is not desired, as all of our dates are in EST and contain no time data. Since BlazeDS sends dates in UTC, this results in the dates being converted to the day before in timezones west of EST.
The best solution is to go in and refactor all dates to adjust for the timezone offset, but that is just not doable at this stage. Since all dates in our application don't care about time, I would really like to be able to intercept all Date objects that come across BlazeDS and adjust for the timezone offset.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Comparing Values From XML To Variables In Flash?
Dec 8, 2009I've got an xml file that contains some data (which will be created by an external file later on in the project) and i want to be able to check the data in that XML file against a variable stored in flash.
If the value in the XML is equal to or greater than the value in the variable i want to jump to a different frame. If the xml value is less that the variable value i want it to stop and tell the user a message. i've included my code below. I just cant get it to work. Regardless of if the value in the XML file is higer or lower than the variable in flash, it always continues to the final frame instead of stopping accordingly.

Flash - Comparing Two BitmapData And Get Similarity Percentage
Feb 3, 2012I'd like to know if there's anyway I can compare two BitmapData and get a "similarity percentage" (knowing how look-alike they are). I've done a bit of research and came across bitmapData.compare(otherBmd), but that only returns if they differ in size, or pixel, and not how much they differ. The point of this was to compare some Bmd obtained through a camera with a library image (so this is what I got so far):
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var img1:BitmapData = new monaLisa();
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
var video:Video = new Video(camMock.width,camMock.height);
video.attachCamera(cam);
