Date problem

1

hello, i am pretty new to flash. I been making my portfolio. The thing is that i need to upload some ‘daily content’ on my site.

Is there anyway of getting the number of the current day in an year…?

For eg: For February 13th I want the number 44 to be displayed.(44=31+13)

Can you help…?

Thanx.

Just copy and paste the following, its pretty straightforward

// Tests if the current year is a leap year
// and returns the correct amount of days
getDaysInYear = function(year:Number):Number {
	if (year % 4 == 0) {
		daysInMonth[1] = 29; // Sets the days in february
		return 366;
	} else {
		daysInMonth[1] = 28; // Sets the days in february
		return 365;
	}
};

// Finds the current day in the year
getCurrentDay = function(month:Number):Number {
	var temp:Number = 0;
	for (i = 0; i < month; i++) {
		temp += daysInMonth*;
	}
	return temp + myDate.getDate();
};

var myDate:Date = new Date(); // Date Object

// Days in each month
var daysInMonth:Array = [31, 0, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31];

var year:Number = myDate.getFullYear(); // Current year (20## format)
var daysInYear:Number = getDaysInYear(year); // Days in the current year
var currentDay:Number = getCurrentDay(myDate.getMonth()); // The current day

trace(currentDay);
