Get.Date And LoadVariables Problem

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!

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();

switch (daytext) {
case 0 :
daytext = "Sunday";

case 1 :
daytext = "Monday";
break;
case 2 :
daytext = "Tuesday";
break;
case 3 :

LoadVariables: Can Two LoadVariables In The Same Script Cause A Problem?
Hi,

It seems that for some reason, my attempt to send vaiables is not working. I'm not certain if its my syntax or the fact that I have a second loadVariables later in my script(with a different name of course). help?

heres a sample of the script that I'm using:

ClickedSendVar = new loadVariables();
ClickedSend = "bob="+bob+"&fred="+fred+"&jim"+jim;
ClickedSend.send(_root.on_card, ClickedSend, "POST");

Bad Data From Date.getDay() And Date.getMonth()
I am trying to utilize the Date class to retrieve the current date, and populate fields for each date part. However, the day and month returned from either the day/month properties or the getDay()/getMonth() methods are incorrect: today is 4/11/2008, yet I get back a month of 3 and a day of 5!

Here is the relevant code:

var curDate:Date=new Date();
NewProjectStartMonthField.text=String(curDate.getMonth());
NewProjectStartDayField.text=String(curDate.getDay());
NewProjectStartYearField.text=String(curDate.fullYear);

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

Date Generation Without Using Date Function
I'm writing a program for a rental company. The code will
allow the user to select a date from a gui, enter the
number of days that the user will stay, and generate a
departure date. The script works in some cases but not
others. You can view this work in progress at:

http://tripdogs.com/two

as this work is not complete, some explanation as to
how to execute program:

select month and date
click "click to verify date"
click "check availability"
click "1" other buttons not functional
enter "enter # of nights"
click "Select"

The program gets the date right sometimes, sometimes not.

Countdown To Date, Loading Date From Txt
Hey everyone,

I'm working on a Flash movie to countdown to a certain date, and I am wanting to assign that date in a .txt file so it is easy to change the date without modifying the FLA.

Here's the ActionScript I have for finding the date it's counting down to from the .txt file:

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("date.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
eventDate = new Date(this.year, this.month, this.day);
};

And the date.txt file has this in it:

year=2003&month=12&day=25


It doesn't seem to be working :- .

Any help would be awesome .

LoadVariables From CGI
Why does it work from my HD, and not on the Web.

When I run the SWF in flash it load the vars ok. Then I tested outside Flash, in the Flash PLayer, and in the Browser both from the HD. The file was on my HD but the script still gets the vars from a valid URL.

I load the vars like this:
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/flashclock.pl", 1);

In the dubugger window, all the vars are loaded correctly only when the file run from the HD.
Then I run the (SWF) file from the web, and the debugger window only show me the _level0 objects and vars. NOTHING from _level1 (to witch i'm loading them).

I tested the PL right in the browser to, and it outputs everything correct, like:
&name=paul&weight=85&...

Is loadVariablesNum a wrong method to get the vars from a pl file.

H E L P !!!!

LoadVariables + Php
I have this tiny PHP script that I would like to call in order to generate a string to be used as a variable:

Code:
<?php
// filename is 'metar.php' located on server 'your_url_here'
echo "metar=";
$fp = fopen ("http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/obs...tions/CYUL.TXT", "r");

// The above URL retrieves the latest weather data for Montreal's Intl. Airport.
// Hack the source at http://www.gimpster.com/php/phpweather/index.php PHP Weather for how to interpret the value.

while (!feof ($fp)){
$metar = fgets($fp, 4096);
echo $metar;
}
fclose ($fp);
?>
In my flash movie, I call that script on fr.1 using

Code:
loadVariables("http://your_url_here/metar.php", "");
and I have a dynamic text field which is linked to the variable metar.

Of course it doesn't work so far. Any pointer why and/or how to make it work?

thanks and cheers

LoadVariables Bug?
Im getting feed back from my users that when they try to login it hangs.

all im doing is a simple task they type userid and pass click next

loadvariables from a CGI script which checks the userid and pass sends back a responce of either wrong or ok

while flash is waiting for this responce i do this.

if (responce eq "ok"){
gotoandplay("ok")
}
elseif(responce eq "wrong"){
gotoandplay("wrong")
}
else{
prevframe
}

#################
the previous frame is just a play() to check the status again.

so why is it hanging? is there any know problems with this method like using it in different browsers or platforms??

or if anyone has a better method i will be happy to listen.

LoadVariables
Hello,

I have 10 frames in my movie and each frame has 2 loadvariableNum command to load text into 2 different dynamic text boxes in my main movie. 1 loadvariableNum command looks for data from the database and the other from a text file. When I try it out, only 1 LoadVarNum command works, meaning that text var 1 will populate with text but not text var 2. I have both variables loading into level_0. What is the processing order for LoadVarNum command? Is there a certain order that they load in?

Loadvariables Help

</script>

This page has a flash movie with the code:

stop ();
loadVariables ("menupop.asp", "0", "POST");
gotoAndStop (color);

There are four frames with labels red, yellow, green and orange, but is not going to the right frame.

Any solutions?

I'll try to upload the pages later (my server's being a pain).

LoadVariables
Hi,
I have an flash movie and I have a movie clip in that. I change the color of the clip according to the database value which I get using ASP. In the frame actions actionscript, I change the color of movieclip according to the return value from ASP, still the color does not change. I checked the variable value and it is not set too. I gave red color before calling LoadVariables (which passes green), the color is not changed. What can be the reason. I have written the code in any event, just in the frame actions main script place.

Any help is appreciated.

LoadVariables()
Hi there,

Would like to ask regarding the movieClip.loadVariables() action. The second parameter is supposed to be "GET" or "POST" right? Is this "GET" or "POST" action the passing of variables into flash, or is flash passing variables into another application?

For that matter, I am aware that by specifying the additional parameters with the URL string, you can simulate a GET request to a server. I'd like to ask then, how can I use Flash to do a POST action?

Thanks.

or is something like a getVariebles() needed (if it exists) to get them again

LoadVariables - I Just Don't Get It - Please Help
Okay, I just don't get LoadVariables. Can someone break down exactly what happens with this command?

I have an asp page that returns a simple string in the format indicated in the documentation:
var1=1&var2=2&var3=3

So I call that asp page with loadVariables: loadVariables ("http://www.whatever.com/my.asp/",0)

What happens with that call? I always assumed that this would be equivilant to writing

var1=1;
var2=2;
var3=3;

directly into the code, but it just doesn't seem to work that way.

I'm seriously stumped on this one.

LoadVariables Help
I am trying to bring in text from a text file, but I can't seem to get it working. This is what I did:

I created a text file that looks like this:

myText=text text text text

I created a movie clip in my main movie. It contains a dynamic text box called myText.

In the first frame of the main movie I put the following code:

loadVariables("mywebsite.com/myText.txt", "_root.box");

Any ideas? I would really appreciate any help.
