Display Date And Day With Computing Three Days From The Date With Certain Restriction
Hi
i have a code that display date and day from your local machine.
Here it is:
================================================== ===========
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();
//yyyy = myDate.getFullYear();
switch (daytext) {
case 0 :
daytext = "Sunday";
break;
case 1 :
daytext = "Monday";
break;
case 2 :
daytext = "Tuesday";
break;
case 3 :
daytext = "Wednesday";
break;
case 4 :
daytext = "Thursday";
break;
case 5 :
daytext = "Friday";
break;
case 6 :
daytext = "Saturday";
break;
}
switch (mm) {
case 0 :
mm = "Jan";
break;
case 1 :
mm = "Feb";
break;
case 2 :
mm = "Mar";
break;
case 3 :
mm = "Apr";
break;
case 4 :
mm = "May";
break;
case 5 :
mm = "Jun";
break;
case 6 :
mm = "Jul";
break;
case 7 :
mm = "Aug";
break;
case 8 :
mm = "Sep";
break;
case 9 :
mm = "Oct";
break;
case 10 :
mm = "Nov";
break;
case 11 :
mm = "Dec";
break;
}
textdate = (daytext+", "+mm+". "+dd+".");
================================================== ===========
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..
plz help
Thanks

Display Mysql Date In Flash
Can anyone tell me the optimum way to do the following:
I have a php page that sends xml compiled from data in a mysql table to my swf. The swf is actually an auction and I need to load in the' end time' of that item and do a date comparision for a countdown.
So what I'm asking for, in a nutshell, is for the best way to load in a date from a database in such a way that it can be used for date comparisons?
The mysql field is a datetime field. I can modify the format in php to whatever you feel in the best format (I need year, month,day,hour,min, seconds) - but I don't know what to do with the date once I have it in flash.
example xml: <Item end_time="2005-04-01 00:00:00" />
can I convert it into a valid date with out string manipulation? since the following doesn't work (obviously)
my_date = new Date(oXML.firstChild.attributes.end_time)
What I need is to be able to take the current time & substract it from the time in the xml to give me the remaining time.
I hope this makes sense !!!

I found the date object in actionscript, but have no idea how to use said functions....can anyone help?
PS - I don't need any more assistance as far as my other two threads are concerned. Thank you for the help so far.

Display Day/Date From Server?
Trying to find a tutorial on adding the day & date from my server to my full Flash website.
I see a lot of tutorials that use the users system date but I don't want that.
I've added server day & date in .html sites before using cgi scripts.
Is there a way to do something similar in Flash??
I'm fairly new, using MX 2004 & looking for a tutorial.
Any help is appreciated.

Display Date Not Working?
Hi all,
I'm using this code to display the day, month and year:
Code:
nuDate = new Date();
numMonth = nuDate.getMonth();
if (numMonth == 1) { wordMonth = "January" }
else if (numMonth == 2) { wordMonth = "February" }
else if (numMonth == 3) { wordMonth = "March" }
else if (numMonth == 4) { wordMonth = "April" }
else if (numMonth == 5) { wordMonth = "May" }
else if (numMonth == 6) { wordMonth = "June" }
else if (numMonth == 7) { wordMonth = "July" }
else if (numMonth == 8) { wordMonth = "August" }
else if (numMonth == 9) { wordMonth = "September" }
else if (numMonth == 10) { wordMonth = "October" }
else if (numMonth == 11) { wordMonth = "November" }
else if (numMonth == 12) { wordMonth = "December" }
displayDay = nuDate.getDate();
displayYear = nuDate.getFullYear();
//trace(displayDay + " " + wordMonth + " " + displayYear);
this.dateText = (displayDay + " " + wordMonth + " " + displayYear);
When I used the trace, it displays the date as it should (16 March 2006), but if I try to use it on a dynamic text field, with the va "dateText", it only displays "February".
Can anyone tell me why?

Display Date And Time In A Certain Country
Hi guys!
By default, when you visit a website that is made entirely in Flash and there is a Tme and Date movie clip feature... you know... it gets the current time and date of your computer so you're actually seeing your own time, right?
What I've always wanted to do is when you visit a website that is made entirely in Falsh, and you have a Time and Date movie clip that tells the creators current time and the current date instead of just getting the values of your computer time and displaying your own. I'm in the Philippines so I want the visitors of my site to view what time and date is it in the Philippines.
Can it be done?

[Date & Time] Display Error
Hi all
I'll just dive right in. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myDate = new Date();
//puts "0" in front of month if it's less then 10
if (myMonth<10) {
myMonth = "0"+(myDate.getMonth()+1);
} else {
myMonth = (myDate.getMonth()+1);
}
//puts "0" in front of day if it's less then 10
if (myDay<10) {
myDay = "0"+(myDate.getDate());
} else {
myDay = (myDate.getDate());
}
//puts "0" in front of year if it's less then 10 (double digit year)
if (myYear<10) {
myYear = "0"+(myDate.getYear()-100);
} else {
myYear = myDate.getYear()-100;
}
//puts "0" in front of minutes if it's less then 10
if (myMinutes<10) {
myMinutes = "0"+(myDate.getMinutes());
} else {
myMinutes = myDate.getMinutes();
}
//puts "0" in front of seconds if it's less then 10
if (mySeconds<10) {
mySeconds = "0"+(myDate.getSeconds());
} else {
mySeconds = myDate.getSeconds();
}
//sets am or pm status
if (myHours>12) {
myHours = myDate.getHours();
dateText.text = myDay+"."+myMonth+"."+myYear+" - "+(myHours-12)+":"+myMinutes+":"+mySeconds+" pm";
} else {
myHours = myDate.getHours();
dateText.text = myDay+"."+myMonth+"."+myYear+" - "+myHours+":"+myMinutes+":"+mySeconds+" am";
}
}
The problem is I want the minutes and seconds to have a "0" before them if they are less then 10, but what is happening is the "0" stays there until 12. Any suggestions?
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!

NewProjectStartDayField.text=String(curDate.getDay());

Comparing Current Date With Date String
Im loading in a date from a database and storing it in a string called dateToCheck. The dates I am loading in from my datebase could be anything so I want to check if its past, present or future but as its a string and not a date when I compare to the current date it doesn't seem to work.
Im storing the current date in actions script like this
var today_dateate = new Date();
var date_str:String = (today_date.getDate()+"/"+(today_date.getMonth()+1)+"/"+today_date.getFullYear());
Do I need to convert the value date value Im loading from my database into a proper date before I can check it agains the current date? If so is there any easy way of doing it.
Thanks
