Load by date

You're welcome.

BTW:
you can ofcourse remove the:

// get day of month (1 to 31)
var the_day_of_month:Number = dt.getDate();

(demo purposes only)

Awesome!

Thanks, that worked great!

That'll work just as well. Somthing like:

var dt:Date = new Date();
// get day of month (1 to 31)
var the_day_of_month:Number = dt.getDate();
// day of week 0 to 6 in a heathen way ;)
var the_day_of_week:Number = dt.getDay();

var video_filename:String = "video" + the_day_of_month + ".swf";

placeholder_mc.loadMovie(video_filename);

This is great. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I don't have the FLVplayback option (flash 7). I was going to use loadMovie in conjunction with it. Think that will work?

Hi,

the Date Class in the docs should give you a start when using the date
on the clientside. Just a few quick lines:

var dt:Date = new Date();
// get day of month (1 to 31)
var the_day_of_month:Number = dt.getDate();
// day of week 0 to 6 in a heathen way ;)
var the_day_of_week:Number = dt.getDay();

var video_filename:String = "video" + the_day_of_month + ".flv";

you can then feed it to the FLVplayback component or your own coded
NetStream.
