hi, need some help here.
i have created a calendar using actionscripts. one of the problems i have yet to solve is how to scroll to previous/next months. i have created an input table whose text will change accordingly when i use some buttons, but i cannot get the dates of the calendar to update at all. i would really appreciate any help/advice.
thank you.
currentDate = new Date(); //current date
month = currentDate.getMonth(); //current month (month janurary = 0)
todayDate = currentDate.getDate(); //todays date
day = currentDate.getDay(); //current day of week (sunday = 0)
year = currentDate.getFullYear(); //current year
lastdate=new Date(year, month+1, 0);//get the number of days in the current month
lastday=lastdate.getDate(); // get the lastdate
lastMonthDate=new Date(year, month, 0);//get the number of days in the last month
lastMonthDay=lastMonthDate.getDate(); // get the lastdate
var firstDay = new Date(this.year, this.month, 1);
var startingDay = firstDay.getDay(); // returns first weekday of month
var lastMonth = lastMonthDay - startingDay + 1;

"Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");
