How to make Calendar like this one?

Hey Guys and Gals,

Can anyone help point me in the direction of making a calendar in Flash similar to this? I want to create a dynmaically updatable calendar.

Yeah, I like that calendar! I want to know how to make something like that too.

You could use this as the basis for it:actionscript calendar

All you really need to do is establish some sort of list of events & combine it with an actionscript tooltip or an as2 tooltip class to create the rollover effect.

the problem with that calendar is that the months aren't automatically generated, you have to input how many days are in that month. You need to use a server app like php to get that type of information.

You don't need a server app, the Flash Date() object will give you the number of days in the month, you just use a little trick

Create a date object using the next month, and set the day to zero:

now=new Date();
lastdate=new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth()+1, 0);
trace(lastdate.getDate());

i wasn't aware you could pass variables to the date constructor.

This looks a little similar to the very nice (Macromedia) tutorial here: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/fla...tabinding.html

Hope that helps.
