Show date function

[JohnnyHotrocks]

I need to be able to show the days date like Monday 29 October 2001 and also show the next days date. Hope someone can help.

Cheers

I dont know a pure flash command for this, but given that you can use javascript in flash, you could use the getDate function...
This comes in numerical form, so you need to declare each case.
I have this on my website, andthis is how i coded it...:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
var day=&quot;&quot;;
var month=&quot;&quot;;
var myweekday=&quot;&quot;;
var year=&quot;&quot;;
mydate = new Date();
myday = mydate.getDay();
mymonth = mydate.getMonth();
myweekday= mydate.getDate();
weekday= myweekday;
myyear= mydate.getYear();
year = myyear
if(myday == 0)
day = &quot; sunday, &quot;
else if(myday == 1)
day = &quot; monday, &quot;
else if(myday == 2)
day = &quot; tuesday, &quot;
else if(myday == 3)
day = &quot; wednesday, &quot;
else if(myday == 4)
day = &quot; thursday, &quot;
else if(myday == 5)
day = &quot; friday, &quot;
else if(myday == 6)
day = &quot; saturday, &quot;
if(mymonth == 0) {
month = &quot;january &quot;}
else if(mymonth ==1)
month = &quot;february &quot;
else if(mymonth ==2)
month = &quot;march &quot;
else if(mymonth ==3)
month = &quot;april &quot;
else if(mymonth ==4)
month = &quot;may &quot;
else if(mymonth ==5)
month = &quot;june &quot;
else if(mymonth ==6)
month = &quot;july &quot;
else if(mymonth ==7)
month = &quot;august &quot;
else if(mymonth ==8)
month = &quot;september &quot;
else if(mymonth ==9)
month = &quot;october &quot;
else if(mymonth ==10)
month = &quot;november &quot;
else if(mymonth ==11)
month = &quot;december &quot;

if ((navigator.appName == &quot;Microsoft Internet Explorer&quot && (year < 2000))
year=&quot;19&quot; + year;
if (navigator.appName == &quot;Netscape&quot
year=1900 + year;
document.write(&quot;<font face=andale mono size=1 color=999999>&quot; + day + month);
document.write(myweekday + &quot;, &quot; + year + &quot;</font>&quot;
</script>

If you wanted to show the next day you could simply use the &quot;+&quot; operator..
I really think javascript holds the key for you here
Hope this helps

or with less typing..modify the array to determine tomorrows date..

Dayarray = new Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday","Thursday",
"Friday","Saturday");
Montharray = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July",
"August","September","October","November","December");
Hourarray = new Array("12","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12",
"1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11");
a = new Date();
b = a.getFullYear();
c = a.getMonth();
d = a.getDate();
e = a.getDay();
f = a.getHours();
g = a.getMinutes();
if (g<10) {
	g = &quot;0&quot;+g;
}
h = a.getSeconds();
if (h<10) {
	h = &quot;0&quot;+h;
}
monthName = Montharray[c];
dayName = Dayarray[e];
hourValue = Hourarray[f];
show = dayName+&quot; &quot;+monthName+&quot; &quot;+d+&quot;,&quot;+&quot; &quot;+b+&quot; &quot;+hourValue+&quot;:&quot;+g+&quot; &quot;+h;

daDate = &quot;&quot;;
daMonth = [&quot;January&quot;, &quot;February&quot;, &quot;March&quot;, &quot;April&quot;, &quot;May&quot;, &quot;June&quot;, &quot;July&quot;, &quot;August&quot;, &quot;September&quot;, &quot;October&quot;, &quot;November&quot;, &quot;December&quot;];
daDay = [&quot;Sunday&quot;, &quot;Monday&quot;, &quot;Tuesday&quot;, &quot;Wednesday&quot;, &quot;Thursday&quot;, &quot;Friday&quot;, &quot;Saturday&quot;];
date = new Date();
theday = thedate add daDay[date.getDay()];
themonth = daMonth[date.getMonth()];
thedate = date.getDate();
thedate = thedate add &quot; &quot;;
theyear = date.getFullYear();


The above code shows todays date but I do not understand how your array would fit into this to display the corresponding 12 days dates.

it doesn't, you would have to modify the array to determine the next days date and time..which by the way, why are you doing that?..benefits would be?.
