So here goes my stackoverflow debut... (And I tried searching and reading thru a lot of posts (php flash date) before asking this)
I would like to make an swf that will find out what date it is and do sometinhg correspondingly. Eg. go to a specific frame or load a movieClip.
I would also like to avoid the Actionscript "Date Class" because I need to feel fairly certain that my end user will see the swf of the day not of his/her local date-setting.
So I'm thinking to somehow bring in php with 'echo date' inside the swf and then have the result create a goto-(or load-)command.
To make matters worse I have to rely only on code within the swf using ActionScript2 (in CS4 or 5). I am not able to publish any outside php (or any other code for that matter) so everything must be done internally. Only swf has to work regardless of server (I am expecting the server will work with php)
So I hope some gurus here will be able to tell me: 1. If this is possible 2. How I make the date thing happen in Flash 3. And how I somehow grab the date as a variable (?) and make that determine some action.
How do you like them apples?
