A Memopad, using the new MX Shared Object
Author: Joachim Schnier | Website: http://www.cancerinform.net |

The Actionscript: Date

A memopad should show the current date, which is shown in the code below. You have to add +1 to the current month, since in Flash the count starts at 0. If you did not add +1 you would always be one month behind (which could be nice depending on the situation?!).

 stop();
 //get the current date
 var today = new Date();
 var currentDay = today.getDay();
 var currentMonth = today.getMonth();
 var currentDate = today.getDate();
 var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
 //you have to add +1 to the month, because counting  starts at 0.
 dateTextField = (currentMonth + 1) + " - " + currentDate + " - " + currentYear;
