Re: [Flashcoders] Quick n diarty date request

2006-05-02 Thread Helen Triolo 
Maybe there's something simpler, but here are two date functions (public 
static functions I have in a date utility class) that I use all the time 
(and would work for your case):


   function dateFromString(s:String):Date {
   var yr:Number = Number(s.substr(0, 4));
   var m:Number = Number(s.substr(5, 2))-1;
   var d:Number = Number(s.substr(8, 2));
   return new Date(yr, m, d);
   }

   function datesSame(d1:Date, d2:Date):Boolean {
   return (d1.getYear() == d2.getYear() &&
d1.getMonth() == d2.getMonth() &&
d1.getDate() == d2.getDate());
   }

   //Usage for your date check:

   trace(datesSame(new Date(), dateFromString('2006-05-02')));

Is there a simple way to check if an instance of a date function is
today.

Ie

var foo = new Date();
trace(foo);

var bar = new Date(2006, 04, 02);

trace(bar)

trace(foo == bar);

Obviously that returns false as the time is incorrect.

There must be a simple way ?

it depends on your level of accuracy:

lets say you want to know if the date was the same day:

var allowedDiff:Number = 24*60*60*1000 //24 hours,60 mins,60 secs,
1000 millisecs

trace(Math.abs(date1.getTime()-date2.getTime) wrote:

var today=new Date();
trace(today.getMonth());
