Other than calling getDate and then some hard-coded if statements, has anyone ever tackled the logic of figuring out if the current day is Thanksgiving (4th Thurs in November)? Google didn't turn up anything (for Flash, at least).

Thanks,

You could just see how many thursday's have past in november? If today was thursday and 3 other's have past in novemeber then it would be thanksgiving.

Ahh....so if it's Thursday, take the numerical value of the day that gets returned, and if it's greater than 21 (and less than 27, in case of 5 Thursdays in November) then it's Thanksgiving.

That's good - I owe you 2 beers today. Thanks!
