How To Get System Date Or Month?
Hi all,
As i was browseing thourgh tutorials in this site i came across
one wonderful tutorial "Analog clock" and i did that successfully.
But now if want to show current month, date, and year also with it
how i will do it?
As i am not much actionscript master can some explain why i have to write .time everytime to get seconds, minutes, and hours to track system time?
the code is somthing like:-
time = new Date();
mil = time.getMilliseconds();
s = time.getSeconds();
m = time.getMinutes();
h = time.getHours();
and if i try the same code without copypaste from tutorial it dose not take .time but just a .getSeconds()then how a newcomer like me will understand significance of .time why its requide (i mean the function for it)
Thanking you in advance

Add Month(s) To A Date
Hi,
I am trying to add month(s) to a date using the calendar component in flash. Basically someone needs to enter an startdate, and I want flash to calculate the expiredate based on a variable 'duration'.
so far I have:
duration=6;//Nr of months to add
calendar1.setChangeHandler("getdatum");
function getdatum()
{
theYear = Calendar1.getSelectedItem().getFullYear();
theNumber = Calendar1.getSelectedItem().getDate();
theMonth = (Calendar1.getSelectedItem().getMonth())+1;
mysql_startdate = theYear+"-"+theMonth+"-"+theNumber;
//mysql_expiredate=???????
}
Anyone an idea?
greetings

Date() Comes Up With Wrong Month
Hi,
I'm customizing a game for a client and they sent me the following code to submit the time to their server:
Code:
var d:Date = new Date();
var mm = (d.getUTCMonth()<10)?'0'+d.getUTCMonth():d.getUTCMonth();
var dd = (d.getUTCDate()<10)?'0'+d.getUTCDate():d.getUTCDate();
var hh = (d.getUTCHours()<10)?'0'+d.getUTCHours():d.getUTCHours();
var ii = (d.getUTCMinutes()<10)?'0'+d.getUTCMinutes():d.getUTCMinutes();
var ss = (d.getUTCSeconds()<10)?'0'+d.getUTCSeconds():d.getUTCSeconds();
var utcdate = (d.getUTCFullYear()+'-'+mm + '-' + dd + 'T' + hh + ':' + ii + ':' + ss + 'Z');
trace(utcdate);
This traces out the following: "2007-06-05T00:28:55Z"
It's coming up with the wrong month, June! It should be July (2007-07-05T00:28:55Z)
Does anyone know what's going wrong here?
Thanks

Month/Date Dependent Flash Movie
The task set before me sounds easy - but I haven't found one example or tutorial regarding this.
Basically I would like to set up a flash movie with ten frames. Each frame would be reflective of the date that needs to be shown to the viewer. So for example if frame number 3 was inteneded to be shown to viewers on August 1, 2008. Then the movie goes to that frame and stops - not revealing any of the other frames. If the date is August 15th, then it would go to the fourth frame which is set up to be shown on that particualy date and after. Then on frame 5, it would be for Septemeber 1. Frame 5 would show for 15 days - then it would go to frame six afterwards... and so...
Wow! If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be forever in your debt.
Thanking you in advance.

Desktop Background Depending On Date And Month.
I am trying to create a little program in flash that will load a specific picture depending on what day it is and what month.
All the different picture swfs are named depending on date/month eg. Jan01, Dec15. (These will load into a blank container whenever called upon).
The only problem I am having is the actionscript to actually make this work. I have searched the forums for all kinds of things like getDate, getMonth etc but haven't found anything that seems to do the job.
Would it be possible for someone to help me with the coding?
Thanks.

Date Class Giving Wrong Day And Month Info
ActionScript Code:
function getTheDate ():void
{
var now:Date = new Date();
trace ("Year: " + now.getFullYear());
trace ("Month: " + now.getMonth());
trace ("Day: " + now.getDay());
trace ("Hour: " + now.getHours());
trace ("Minute: " + now.getMinutes());
// My trace is the following:
/*
Year: 2008
Month: 3
Day: 4
Hour: 9
Minute: 7
*/
// Day and Month are screwed up.
// Real info is: April 10, 2008 9:07 am.
// So my trace SHOULD have been:
/*
Year: 2008
Month: 4
Day: 10
Hour: 9
Minute: 7
*/
}
Why?

Can Flash Read Text File And System Date?
Flash newbie, way newbie here. I am working on a project where I need a swf file to read a parsed text file, and based on the system date, place text into the swf to be viewed. Is this possible, how do I go about it.
The end result is to have a flash movie that will run content for a year (365 entries in file). Other wise I am going to have to create 365 different ones.
Hopefully this made sense and is doable.
Thanks in advance
Example file with two entries

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!

What Does System.capabilities.language Return On Your System?
I am working on a multi-lingual web site that automatically detects the user's OS or browser language by using System.capabilities.language .
Since I am running a german OS/browser, this returns 'de' in my case, but I wonder what it returns on other systems (english, french, spanish etc.)
To find this out, please copy and paste this code into a Flash doc and see what it says:
trace( System.capabilities.language );
Thx!

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.

Determining 1st Day Of Month
Hello All,
Does anybody know how to determine what day of the week the first day of the month is on??
ex:
For August 2001 - Wednesday
I need to find a script that determines this.
(for any month, and any year in the future)
I think it needs to have something to do with
Code:
mydate = new Date();
curmonth = mydate.getMonth();
Then another date object set to the first day of the current month that was just detected.??
Thanks in advance!

Anyone Else Get The Wrong Month?
Not July 24.
I have this script in my movie:
mydate = new Date();
myvariable = mydate.getMonth()+"/"+mydate.getDate()+"/"+mydate.getFullYear();
I have put mydate = new Date (); as an expression
Everything comes out fine and it shows up as a properly formatted date. The only thing is, it shows a 7 instead of 8 for the month. I used SSI to check the date on my server, which shows 8. My computer's clock shows 8, but for some reason my flash shows 7. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

I have an array with day, month, all works fine.
I am making a calendar that pages will be torn off. Starting with 10 days prior to the current date.
So, easy:
code:
thaDay.text = currentDay[today.getDay() -1];
and so on.
But if I do the same for month:
code:
thaMonth.text = currentMonth[today.getMonth() -1];
I get the ol' UNDEFINED
I don't know where I am going wrong. Silly me thought I could just subtract like I could days/date.

[F8] Finding First Day In A Month
Hey, I'm having trouble finding the first day of a given month.
The big problem I'm having, is that (inside my function), when I set the year and month to the desired values, calling a .getDate(); function just reads local time.
I'm guessing that I'm going to have to come at it from a completely different direction, so any ideas would be great.
Heres my code:
Code:
// Function to discover the first day of the desired (des) month and year
function getFirstDateNumber(des_month:Number, des_year:Number) {
var date:Date = new Date();
var year:Number = date.setYear(des_year);
year = date.getFullYear();
var month:Number = date.setMonth(des_month);
month = date.getMonth();
var day:Number = date.getDay();
var datenum:Number = date.getDate();
return(day);
}
What if I tried using a .setFullYear() to the desired month, year, use the last date number, run a .getDay(), and iterate backwards until I hit 1.
I'm thinking that the date would still retrieve from local time....
Thanks,
Echo Gen
