Hi I’m making a dynamic calendar i got most of a template and am trying to edit it to what i need. As of right now the calendar completely works and it draws a background behind the date of an event but instead of drawing a background i would rather be able to load a description of the event. The problem is i cannot figure out how to make my array from the XML figure out which day to load to because if i use an I loop it just loads into the very first boxes. i was thinking if i could get the array to use the nodename as its position index it might work but i cant get the right syntax
// ----------------------THIS IS THE CALENDAR CREATION-------------------------------------------- //
MovieClip.prototype.getDates = function () {
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("days", this.getNextHighestDepth ());
var last = lastDate.getDate (), row = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= last; i++) {
now.setFullYear (year, month, i);
var offset = (now.getDay () - firstDayOfWeek) % 7;
offset < 0 ? dow = offset + 7 : dow = offset;
day = this.days.createEmptyMovieClip ("day" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth () + i);
day._x = 5 + dow * 20;
day._y = 45 + row * 20;
checkClick ();
day.createTextField ("date", this.getNextHighestDepth (), 0, 0, 20, 15);
day.date.text = i;
day.date.selectable = false;
day.date.setTextFormat (getFormat ());
if (dow == 6) row++;
}
};
// ------------------------------------------------------------------ //
MovieClip.prototype.checkClick = function () {
if (dayNow == i) {
day.drawBg (0x475a1d);
dayNow = writtenDays.shift ();
}
if (dayNow == i) {
day.createTextField ("message", this.getNextHighestDepth (), 0, 0, 22, 15);
day.message.text = writtendays*;
}
};
i was experimenting with the last 4 or 5 lines. Thats what i created but it wouldn’t work
if (dayNow == i) {
day.createTextField ("message", this.getNextHighestDepth (), 0, 0, 22, 15);
day.message.text = writtendays*;
}
any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
thanks in advanced.
if you would like to see the entire code IM me at Gixm87 on AIM im almost always on.
