using Date.getHour()

Hey guys,

I am trying to display a date within a flash movie created in CS3. I only know AS 2.0 so I wrote a script to display the time, and long date. For example: 14:27 Monday January 7, 2008.

Ok, my client doesn't like the date in that format, and instead wants it to be in a 12 hour format and include AM or PM behind the time.

I am self-taught with actionscript, and this problem has never occured to me. Would someone lend me a bit of advice or point me in the right direction. I am sure the script is small, and I just don't have the exp yet to know it.

Thanks

vic.

here is an example
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  textdate = [color=#66cc66]([/color]hr + [color=#ff0000]":"[/color] + mnt + [color=#ff0000]" - "[/color] + daytext + [color=#ff0000]","[/color] + dd + [color=#ff0000]" "[/color] + mm + [color=#ff0000]" "[/color] + yyyy[color=#66cc66])[/color];
  2.  
textdate is a variable into which we load a string containing 'hours:minutes - day, date month year', so it could look like this: 08:25 - Thursday, 4 July 2002

I have a query set up to gather together data between two specified dates. Shown in the query column as: Between #24/09/2004# And #01/10/2004# Is it possible to enter several different date ranges, ie between 24/09/2004 and 01/10/2004 together with 05/10/2004 and 07/10/2004 ? If I enter the "Between" criteria on different lines it returns no data.

I have extended the datetimepicker control to incorporate a ReadOnly property. I have used the new keyword to implement my own version of the value property, so that if readonly == true then it will not set the value of the control and will leave the checked status of the checkbox to false when a user selects a new date. this works fine when using the control on a win2k machine but if we use it on a win XP box and call

Hi all - This problem has been driving me crazy, and I'm hoping the answer is something stupid I am neglecting to see.... The procedure posted below is part of an Access/SQL database I have developed. Basically, the user would input a beginning and ending date, and the query goes and pulls records that meet the following criteria: 1. TradeDate is between beginning date and ending date

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
