View 5 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.
I want to assign date to Date field that is in DD-MM-YYYY format. That is I receive String Closure_Date which contains date in DD-MM-YYYY format.
I want to assign that date to Date field like:
dtCloseDate.selectedDate=new Date(Closure_Date);
In this case If Closure_Date contains 16/11/2011 it takes 16 as month so it takes 12 and adds remaining 4 months and it returns 04/11/2012.
My question is how to assign date(DD-MM-YYYY) to DateField?
If I use Dateformatter(DD-MM-YYYY) like
dtCloseDate.selectedDate=new Date(Dateformatter.format(Closure_Date));
It Returns NaN
I have a requierement in my project that i need to store 'US/Eastern EST' and day light saving 'US/Eastern EDT' in data base if client machine is in US/Eastern time zone. Because this gives clear identification instead of justing the chars like 'EST'. There is CDT in US region as well as Chaina too so can't relay just on three chars like 'EST'/'EDT'.

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to get actionscript to render a null date value '000:00:00T00:00:00'? I am calling a web service that expects date fields in the SOAP xml. I need some of these dates to serialize as null and I can't see how to produce null. The closest value I can get is '1899-11-30T00:00:00Z'. Below is the code I am using:

I'm trying to see if a specific date has passed but it's not working.
Here's my PHP Code:
var currDate:Date = new Date();
checkIfDateHasPassed = function(y, m, d){
var myDate:Date = new Date(y, m, d);
if(myDate > currDate){
trace("still to come");
} else {
trace("has passed");
}}// since month starts in Zero, July will be 6 instead 7
// I'm trying to use yesterday, but its not working...checkIfDateHasPassed(2011, 6, 10);
I need some actionscript which I can put into a movie and when that movie gets to a certain date i.e. my birthday the file redirects to my website. I would like the movie to always redirect to my site, even when that date has passed.
View 2 RepliesWhat I'd like to do is create a countdown timer to a specific date, but from all the tutorials I've read, I can't seem to find one that will include milliseconds; only a Day:hour:min:sec format.What I'd like is an Hour:min:sec:milliseconds format (the milliseconds whilst considerably pointless, is an aesthetic choice - I'm hoping the frantically changing numbers will display a sense of urgency).I'm using Flash CS4, and the following Actionscript so far:
Actionscript Code:
var endDate:Date = new Date(2012,9,6);var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);countdownTimer.start();function updateTime(e:TimerEvent):void{ var now:Date = new Date(); var timeLeft:Number = endDate.getTime() - now.getTime(); var seconds:Number = Math.floor(timeLeft / 1000); var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds /
[code]....
I've searched the forums for about 45 minutes and can't find the solution. I am looking for script for creating a countdown timer to a certain date and TIME. I've been able to get to the date, but not the time. For instance, if my event begins at 8PM, I want the timer to count down to that time.

I need to make a function (inside Flash) that will let a swf find out what date it is (each time it is loaded from a server) and then - according to the date - display a frame designated to that date. Optionally, I could have the swf load another swf based on the date.Originally I had planned to make some php wrap-around that would do the loading of different swf's for me - but this is not an option since the swf may soon be uploaded to a server that I cannot feed with php-documents (I don't get access for that - swf only!)So now I must find a way to do this within the swf. But as of right now I am clueless.
One thing I did learn during my googling the past many hours is that the "Date class" in Actionscript is risky - in that it 'reads' what date the end user has on his/her machine. So in the event that some user has the date misconfigured that will screw up what my swf will display.Therefore I am hoping that I could somehow do a variation of php's "echo date" and get the date from the server - but inside Flash. And then have that bit of data call for a certain frame/scene/loaded swf.

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.
Is it possible to add kerning (letterspacing) in-between the numbers in a date counter? For example lets say I have a date counter that counts the dates of a month (1,2,3,etc...) and I have two circles sitting side by side not overlapping. How would i go about adding a space in-between the numbers to have the number on the left in the left circle and the number on the right in the right circle? Someone mentioned using strings but how would I go about doing that? Here is the current code that I am using:

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).
This seems like it should be pretty basic, but after hours of searching for an answer I give up! All I want to do is write code on one frame to take action on another. So for a completely random example, let's say I'm writing my code on frame 1. In that code I'd like to add a movie clip at frame 10. How do I target frame 10? Working in AS3.
View 5 RepliesI have a dynamic text box called "tbNotes".I need to be able to see if the text box contains a website address. If it does contain a website address, I need to have a movieclip called "hilight" appear over that text.I have been messing around with this for a while but can't figure out how to search the text box to see if it contains "www." Then if it finds the "www." then make the "hilight" moviclip visible and start at the x position of the first w and the width end at the end of ".com".
View 1 RepliesI've got a MovieClip that has 3 frames with different text content. I made another MovieClip and within its class I defined this code:
//this is the class of a MovieClip with a human face
if (something happens)
{
var dialogueBox = new DialogueBox();
this.parent.addChild(dialogueBox);
this.parent.dialogueBox.gotoAndStop("dialogue_info _01");
[Code]....
The buttons are used to jump to a specific (root-)frame (based on a variable); they're all nested inside a moviclip, each on its own layer, and for every frame there's one button more showing (imagine a staircase). Now, is there a way for a script that works for all buttons without adding the specific frame number every time? I started working with
ActionScript Code: on (release) {_root.gotoAndStop(_root.VAR+3);} where VAR also defines, how many buttons are shown (eg. frame number of the button-MC). +3 is just for the frame number on root. That way, of course, all buttons eventually lead to the same frame, or more precise: only the last button shown will lead to the correct frame.
add multiple instances of an object to the stage at different but not random points.
For example - I have a box that is linked to a class file. In the class file I have an "ADDED_TO_STAGE" event listener. The function that is called places the box at a certain position on the stage say.... x=100, y= 200.
In the document class I create an instance of it like so -
_box:box = new box();
addChild(_box);
Now what I want is to create multiple instances of box on the stage every 5 seconds. But I don't want them all to spawn at (100,200) on the stage. But here's the catch, I don't want them to be random spawns either.
for ex- I want the first instance of box to spawn on (100,200), then 5 seconds later, the second instance to spawn at (200, 800), the third at (100, 500) and so on.
Would it be possible for me to create objects on the stage to serve as reference points for where i want the instances to spawn instead of writing the exact co-ordinates?
