Flash :: Date Comparison Script (using Strings From Db)

Converting A Date To A Numerical Formart For Comparison
Hello Guys,

Having problems converting a date (i.e. 12/12/2004) to a numerical format (i.e. 10030430003). Using flash MX 2K4. Flash keeps on returning NaN? Code posted below:

ActionScript:
var my_str = eval(currentColumnVal2);
var my_array:Array = my_str.split("/");
var new_array:Array = new Array();
new_array[0] = my_array[2];
new_array[1] = my_array[1];
new_array[2] = my_array[0];
var tmp_currentColumnDate = new_array.join(",");
var my_date:Date = new Date(tmp_currentColumnDate);
var mynum:Number = my_date.getTime();
trace(mynum); //Will return 'NaN'
trace(tmp_currentColumnDate); //Will return '2004,10,12'
trace(eval(currentColumnVal2));//Will return '12/10/2004'

Any ideas would be greatly appretiated,

Oli

Numbers, Strings, And The Date
Sorry for the really simple question, but I forgot something. Let's say I'm trying to display the date. For the minutes thing, I have:

minutes = my_date.getMinutes()

First, I think I need to convert that second thing into a string.
Second, do I need to introduce my date variable earlier? That's kind of weird.
Thanks.

By the way, I believe that this AS shows up as undefined. (not NaN, whatever that is).

I Need To Validate Date Strings Input With Keyboard
I'm working on a project where a user inputs date via a touchscreen keyboard into a database. We have to work with the clients database as is, and there is a strict datatype requirement for the date. The date has to exist on the calender ie. 2-29-04 works but 2-29-05 does not (leap year).

Now, I know how to make a calendar/event schedule with the date object, and do have the option of just ploping a calendar in front of them to navigate through and select a valid date, and this seems like the best idea right now. However, I would like to know if anyone has just validated user input dates via keyboard into a field, so I could just keep the keyboard up there for them, instead of switching the interface around so much.

Thanks for any help.

Are Strings Arrays? 4 Digit Date To 4 Element Array?
Getting my feet wet in actionscript and see that it sure resembles javascript, which, if I remember correctly lets you access each individual characters in a string as an element in an array. Can this be done in actionscript?

what I'm trying to do is turn the .getFullYear (2001) into some sort of form where I can access each individual number, be the 2 the zeros or the 1.

Retriveing Date Variables From Text File/ Converting Strings To Dates
Hi,

I'm trying to read date variables from an external text file. I'm using the LoadVars method and it is working fine for regular string variables. I'm running into trouble trying to convert some of those strings into date variables so I can compare the current date to the targetDateX variable from the text file. I'm working on a countdown timer for a list of different times/dates. It will display the time left until the first event, then after that event the time left until the second event. I'm running the code in a for loop and everything is working except being able to convert the string with format (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm) into a date variable- I've attached a sample of where I'm having trouble.

Thanks in advance for any help! :)

Attach Code

var targetDateX:String = "targetDate" + i;
//sets a variable targetDateX equal to the variable targetDate(i) so that you can read it from the text file
var targetDateA:Date = new Date (this[targetDateX]);
//attempting to set it into a date format
trace (this[targetDateX]);
//returns the variable stored with the name targetDate(i) in the text file
trace (targetDateA);
// returns 'Invalid Date'

Prob With Comparing Utf-8 Enc Loaded Strings With Other Strings
I load a bunch of strings from a MySQL database. Those strings have been utf-8 encoded before being put there. When I load one of the strings and compare with a string defined inside flash it works great as long as the string doesnt have more than one word. Two words or more doesnt work.

So loaded string "Oil and vinegar" isn't equal to the internally set string "Oil in vinegar" according to flash, although it is utf-8 encoded in the database...

blablabla load string "Oil and vinegar" from db into var words

if (words == "Oil and vinegar") { blablabla }
but this condition never evaluates as true....

What am I doing wrong?

Display Future Date (seven Days From Today's Current Date)
I understand how to display today's current date, but how would I display the date seven days from now? For example, if today's date is 4/29/2003, I want to display 5/5/2003.

Anyone done this before?

Thanks in advance.

Convert RSS2 Date Format To Flash Date() Object
How can I take an RFC 822 (RSS 2) formatted string, and read it into a Flash MX Date() object. Flash does'nt like the format.

I have a function that will break the string apart the long way but is there an easier way to accomplish this - I can't believe flash would'nt have it built in like .NET or ColdFusion.

Thanks!

function howlong(arg) {
if (length(arg) == 1) {
arg = "0"+arg;
return arg;
} else {
arg = arg;
return arg;
}
}
myDate = new Date();
//hr = howlong(String(myDate.getHours()));
//mnt = howlong(String(myDate.getMinutes()));
daytext = myDate.getDay();
//daytext = daytext+3;
dd = myDate.getDate();
//dd = dd+3;
mm = myDate.getMonth();

Now problem is it should compute three days from that date with certain restrictions like (dont count Saturday and Sunday, Dec 25th, Nov, 22nd, Jan 1st)...

I have to display the date based on the above rules..

String Comparison
Hi, I'm facing some problems on string comparison, I can't figure out why. Below is my code:

if (thisURL != "http://192.168.1.36/url.html") {
gotoAndPlay ("wrong", 1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("correct", 1);
}

thisURL is a variable being passed in from javascript. I've checked and confirm that it is eq to http://192.168.1.36/url.html There's no trailing spacing in front and behind. But it keep going to the "wrong" scene instead of the "correct" scene. I just don't understand why. I've even tried to force the variable to a String by using String(thisURL) but it still doesn't work. Someone teach me plz.

Software Comparison
hi all,

i've recently been trialling FlashMX (i'm a newbie) and i've found it good, although very complex. At the same time, i've been talking to a more experienced user who says that he prefers flash5 to MX. I'm just wondering about peoples' opinions: which is better (or why is one better than the other)

i can get flash MX fairly cheap for the academic price, so that's not really an issue, it's all about which actual software is better...

all opinions appreciated

Comparison Operators
Hi Everyone,
I am about this... Any clues???

I am loading a text file into a dynamic textfield named "text"
I am trying to check if "text" is empty

if (_root.text ne ""){
_root.gotoAndPlay("end");
}else{
_root.gotoAndPlay("start");
}

Right now I am using 'ne' because it works when I use this, (and I know that it is deprecated) BUT, when I use '!=' it doesn't work.

Someone please shed some light as I don't want to have to use any deprecated items.

Thank you!

Array Comparison
Hello. I am trying to fix this error. I am trying to make an array that wont have repeating entries. I will explain the problem.

I am making a game that uses a coordinate system (x,y) in an array to dynamically script the needed map piece. It is going to be a failry large map, so I need to make sure it dosent ever make more than one instance of the same x,y coordinate. The coordinates are placed into the array when the player moves into the coordinate. Here is what I have for script

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (change==1) {
//change is a variable checked when the player moves off the edge of a map.
for (j=0; j<_root._level0.map.length; j++) {
// I guess this runs thru the array "map" and compares the two strings.
if (name==_level0.map[j]) {
break;
// a break makes it not continue forever (?)
} else {
_level0.map.push(name);
// the coordinate is added if it is not in the array already (?)
break;
// breaks the command to stop looping.
}
}
}
}
Thanks in advance

Array Comparison
Hello,

The code below compares two arrays indexed values. This code works fine. The code checks each index to match index to index.

But, I'm creatig a drag & drop quiz that needs to compare & test as true the entire array elements even if the index are out of order. For example, if choices pushed into the array was 6,5,1 the values would still be true because all the correct choices where made even though it's elements don't match index for index.

Any help would be greatl appreciated.

iaustin

answers = new Array(1,5,6);
choices = new Array(1,5,6);
for(var i=0; i<=answers.length; i++){
if(answers[i] != choices[i]){
//load answers
notmatched = choices;//single wrong index
trace("arrays not matched==" +notmatched);//works & show index difference
trace("answers== " +answers);
trace("choices== " +choices);
//break;
}else{
bothmatch= "both match";
trace("answers== " +answers);
trace("choices== " +choices);

Wierd Comparison Issues
Hi all,
I have an array of numbers, and I want to find the highest number
// myArray = [45,67,22,98,16,150,80]

i am using code as such:
//
BiggestNumber = 0
for (i=0, i<myArray.length, i++){
if (myArray[i] > BiggestNumber) {
BiggestNumber = myArray[i]
}
//

Now this is all good and well until we get to the "150", and for some reason, the computer thinks that 150 isn't bigger thn the 98, and so it quotes 98 as the biggest number. If I put the 98 after the 150, same thing happens. Completely ignores the 150.

Can anyone help me out.

Thanks in advance

String & Variable Comparison
Hi,
Within a flash mx listbox, I made a button. On release I want the indexvalue(of the selected listbox row where the button is at), to be displayed in the root timeline(variable _root.letter) and the button's textfield (variable TextField1).

I did the following so far:
on (release)
{
_root.letter=Textfield1;
}

When I press the button within the listbox, the _root.letter variable displays, e.g. depending on the index value:
_level0.stockBox.container.fListItem0_mc.stockHist MC.textfield1
_level0.stockBox.container.fListItem1_mc.stockHist MC.textfield1
_level0.stockBox.container.fListItem2_mc.stockHist MC.textfield1

How can I filter the numbers out of fListItem0,1,2,3,...etc so that it will show at _root.letter?

Help appreciated

cheers

String Comparison Problem
I am currently using Flash MX 2004 Pro on my windows xp professional pc. I am writing a program which reads in events from an external XML file then orders the events into array and automatically determines which events to display based on the current date. The program has to compare the date of each event to the actual date to determine if the event has already happened. However I have run into the following problem. Below in the current format of an event:

event
number
month
day
year
promotion
description
end event

the event are read into flash and sorted into separate arrays titled myMonths, myDays, etc. Being as the variables are read from external xml files, they are stored as string arrays. When using the string comparison functions I find the following:

"8" is less than "9"
"9" is greater than "8"
"10" is less than "11"
"11" is greater than "10"
"9" is greater than "10" **
"10" is less than "9" **

if you notice the last 2 don't make sense. I understand the comparison probably compares the length first or one substring at a time and finds the "9" > "1" and ignores the 0. Is there a way to correct this bug? or possibly a way to do this kind of comparison without have to check the string length first?

Array Comparison To String?
Hi

Im just working on an application and can any one tell me why this doesnt work and any possible ways round it?

trace(aArray[0].toString());
trace(["tField" + unique]);
if (aArray[0].toString() == ["tField" + unique]){
trace("ok");
}

right ok is never reported as a trace yet the first trace and the second report the exact same thing. so why is it that flash does not see them as the same if they are the same in trace?

trace(aArray[0].toString()); //traces tFieldOne
trace(["tField" + unique]); // trace tFieldOne

A little help?

Discrepency When Using Comparison Symbol?
Dear all!

I noticed there are some discrepency in result when using comparison operator between _width and a constant number.

In my test setup, I drew an arbitrary shape and converted it to a movieclip with the name "platform". Then I assigned a frame action script to it.

Code:
var platform:MovieClip = _root.platform ;

doit( platform._width ) ;

function doit( mywidth:Number ):Void
{
trace ( "mywidth = " + mywidth ) ;
trace( "Is mywidth >= mywidth ? = " + ( mywidth >= mywidth ) ) ;
trace( "Is mywidth <= mywidth ? = " + ( mywidth <= mywidth ) ) ;
trace( "Is mywidth == mywidth ? = " + ( mywidth == mywidth ) ) ;

trace( "Is mywidth >= 1281.8 ? = " + ( mywidth >= 1281.8 ) ) ;
trace( "Is mywidth <= 1281.8 ? = " + ( mywidth <= 1281.8 ) ) ;
trace( "Is mywidth == 1281.8 ? = " + ( mywidth == 1281.8 ) ) ;
trace( "Is 1281.8 >= mywidth ? = " + ( 1281.8 >= mywidth ) ) ;
trace( "Is 1281.8 <= mywidth ? = " + ( 1281.8 <= mywidth ) ) ;
trace( "Is 1281.8 == mywidth ? = " + ( 1281.8 == mywidth ) ) ;

trace ( "platform._width = " + platform._width ) ;
trace( "Is platform._width >= platform._width ? = " + ( platform._width >= platform._width ) ) ;
trace( "Is platform._width <= platform._width ? = " + ( platform._width <= platform._width ) ) ;
trace( "Is platform._width == platform._width ? = " + ( platform._width == platform._width ) ) ;

trace( "Is platform._width >= 1281.8 ? = " + ( platform._width >= 1281.8 ) ) ;
trace( "Is platform._width <= 1281.8 ? = " + ( platform._width <= 1281.8 ) ) ;
trace( "Is platform._width == 1281.8 ? = " + ( platform._width == 1281.8 ) ) ;
trace( "Is 1281.8 >= platform._width ? = " + ( 1281.8 >= platform._width ) ) ;
trace( "Is 1281.8 <= platform._width ? = " + ( 1281.8 <= platform._width ) ) ;
trace( "Is 1281.8 == platform._width ? = " + ( 1281.8 == platform._width ) ) ;
}
Then I proceed to "Control > Test Movie". Here is my test trace output:

mywidth = 1281.8
Is mywidth >= mywidth ? = true
Is mywidth <= mywidth ? = true
Is mywidth == mywidth ? = true
Is mywidth >= 1281.8 ? = true
Is mywidth <= 1281.8 ? = false ( Why is this false? )
Is mywidth == 1281.8 ? = false ( Why is this false? )
Is 1281.8 >= mywidth ? = false ( Why is this false? )
Is 1281.8 <= mywidth ? = true
Is 1281.8 == mywidth ? = false ( Why is this false? )

platform._width = 1281.8
Is platform._width >= platform._width ? = true
Is platform._width <= platform._width ? = true
Is platform._width == platform._width ? = true
Is platform._width >= 1281.8 ? = true
Is platform._width <= 1281.8 ? = false ( Why is this false? )
Is platform._width == 1281.8 ? = false ( Why is this false? )
Is 1281.8 >= platform._width ? = false ( Why is this false? )
Is 1281.8 <= platform._width ? = true
Is 1281.8 == platform._width ? = false ( Why is this false? )

I had expected it to be "true" for all. However, I noticed there are some "false" in my result. Does anyone know why this is so? Attached with this post is my source code. Please advice, many thanks in advance!

[MX04] Wonder Of Comparison Result
hi,any one test this as follow as

Code:
// part 1
trace (undefined > 1);
trace (undefined < 1);
trace (undefined == 1);
trace (undefined >= 1);
trace (undefined <= 1);
// part 2
trace (undefined > undefined);
trace (undefined < undefined);
trace (undefined == undefined);
trace (undefined >= undefined);
trace (undefined <= undefined);
//output
undefined
undefined
false
true
true
//
undefined
undefined
true
true
true

it make me wonder.in fact you can become '1' instead of anyother value in part 1.
i don't know how get the value in flashself
why the result is undefined when comparison > and <,but is true when >= and <=

[F8] AS : Speed Comparison Of Statements
I've heard that the "switch" statement is faster in terms of execution speed than the "if ... else" statement. If this is true, what other statements should be favored in lieu of their alternates?

For instance, which one of these would be fastest in terms of execution?:

Code:
switch(someBoolean != true) { ... };
switch(!someBoolean) { ... };
switch(someBoolean ^ true) { ... };

Integer Variable Comparison
I feel embarrased to post this !!

Why when the value of a is 1 (as seen with trace statement) it executes the code witin the 'IF' statement?

Code:
var a:Number = 0

if (a == 0)
{
var randNumber1:Number = Math.pow(-1, Math.floor(Math.random()*2));
var randNumber2:Number = Math.pow(-1, Math.floor(Math.random()*2));
this._y += this.randNumber1;//move it on the y axis at the set speed
this._x += this.randNumber2;//move it on the x axis at the set speed
++a;
trace(a);
}

[F8] Complex Comparison Tool
Hello people,

I've got a mammoth task ahead of me and I'm hoping for a little direction.
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum but it seems like heavy actionscript to me.

Basically, I've been tasked with making something very much like the application on the page below:
http://www.three.com.au/cs/ContentSe...=1155886581070
It's a mobile phone comparison tool. You select a phone at the top and it loads into the bottom panels. You can load up to 4 in and compare features side by side.
I'm going to be loading all of this in using XML. What I'm not so sure about is how do they force the viewport to scroll when you click on one of the flash expanding panels?

I have many many many more questions about how this was done but I'm hoping that people here would be able to point me in the right direction. My actionscript is good, but I know it's not this good. I'm going to be getting help but I want to be able to understand it for myself too.
Has anyone created anything like this before and if so would they be able to give me some tips?

Many thanks
Matt
