Date Functions for month/day/year

[CorrieLee]

Hi there,

I was just wondering if there was a fast way to pull the year/month/day out of a flash date? Most languages have date functions like this, but I can't find anything in flash?


Thanks,
Corrie.

Try this out:

theDate = new Date();
myDate = theDate.getMonth() + "/" + theDate.getDate() + "/" + theDate.getFullYear();
trace(myDate);

Thing is it comes from the client computer, so you will only get a correct date if the date on the client is correct.

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

Thanks,

That sort of works, but the year is coming back as 104 ?

actualDate = "Mon Aug 16 00:00:00 GMT-0700 2004"
outputDate = "104-7-16"

StartConfirm_txt.text = tempStart.getYear() + "-" + tempStart.getMonth() + "-" + tempStart.getDate();

Any ideas?

Has to be getFullYear(). (as in example)
