for whatever number of days you want, create a date object by using dateF().  you can then use it's properties (day, date, month, year etc to display what you want).

var d:Date = new dateF(days); 

var d:Date = dateF(days);

// for example, for 3 days from today, var d3:Date = new dateF(3);

var d3:Date = dateF(3);

// for 120 days from today var d120 = new dateF(120);

var d120:Date = dateF(120);

///////////// no need to edit /////////////////

function dateF(days:int):Date{

var d:Date = new Date();

return new Date(d.time+timeF(days));

}

function timeF(days:int):Number{
return days*24*60*60*1000;
}

well thanks...and how can i put that in dd/mm/yyyy format, UTC...I did have
some code which tranform my time in milliseconds then puts it back in time,
but output for that is in looooong format with time and seconds etc. i dont
need that. I need dd/mm/yyyy format in my designated text input box...when
i clixk button on my present frame, it takes me to this one with all
calculations there in seperate boxes

[kglad]

d120.date+"/"+d.120.month+"/"+d120.year

(or maybe d120.fullYear)

check the as3 date api.

Hi.

Maybe @kglad can answer your latest question here, but I think it would be better for you to create another topic so that it will easier for other users to find the possible answers you will receive.

use a combobox component.

How to make it visible in text box?

melb.text = theNewDatenew.toString();

like that or?

[kglad]

melb.text = d120.date+"/"+(d120.month+1)+"/"+d120.fullYear;

[Karlo283052097pk9]

Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 640, Line 7 1048: Method cannot be used as a constructor.

var d:Date = new dateF(days);

[Karlo283052097pk9]

var d3:Date = new dateF(3);

///////////// no need to edit /////////////////

function dateF(days:int):Date{

var d3:Date = new Date();

return new Date(d3.time+timeF(days));

}

function timeF(days:int):Number{
return days*24*60*60*1000;
}


melb.text = d3.date+"/"+(d3.month+1)+"/"+d3.fullYear;

that's my error.  it should be:

var d:Date = dateF(days); 

[Karlo283052097pk9]

var rightNow = new Date();
var msRightNow = rightNow.getTime();

var threeDays = 3 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var tenDays = 10 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var hundredDays = 120 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

var finalTime3 = msRightNow + threeDays;
var finalTime10 = msRightNow + tenDays;
var finalTime100 = msRightNow + hundredDays;

var theNewDate3 = new Date(finalTime3);
var theNewDate10 = new Date(finalTime10);
var theNewDate100 = new Date(finalTime100);

melb.text = theNewDate3.dateUTC + "-" + (theNewDate3.monthUTC + 1) + "-" + theNewDate3.fullYearUTC;
melc.text = theNewDate10.dateUTC + "-" + (theNewDate10.monthUTC + 1) + "-" + theNewDate10.fullYearUTC;
meld.text = theNewDate100.dateUTC + "-" + (theNewDate100.monthUTC + 1) + "-" + theNewDate100.fullYearUTC;

I had these on Flas CS6, and it worked flawless. Now on Animate, i get wierds dates, without some digits...

var finalTime10 = msRightNow + tenDays;

var theNewDate3 = new Date(finalTime3);
