Advent Style Calendar

[jFernandes]

I am using the following code to highlight the correct day of the week by having 7 different frames with each day of the week highlighted in a movie clip called "week":

var my_dateate = new Date();
var ournow:Number=my_date.getDay();
ournow+=1;
week.gotoAndStop(ournow)

I'd like to do the same for a period of 30 days (November 17 - December 21) but I'm having trouble setting up the variable. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You can get month and date by using, er, "month" and "date"

Ok, thanks for nothing. Your contribution is going to be a really useful thread on a Google search.

For anyone interested I ended up setting up a different frame for each date.

var dayWeek:Date = new Date();
var ournow:Number=dayWeek.getDay();
ournow+=1;
week.gotoAndStop(ournow)

var theDate:Date = new Date();
var doIt:Number=theDate.getDate();
if (theDate.getMonth() == 11)
{
	doIt += 16;
}
else
{
	doIt -= 16;
}
calendar.gotoAndStop(doIt)
