calender

[Veggie1232]

Hey i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get or maybe a tutorial on how to make a calender in flash so if u click on that day a bubble will pop up showing all the stuff that was being done that day and easey to edit each mounth lol

if anyone knows anything like this that would be awsome

an example is this but i want it to be bigger and the bubble that pops up to be bigger like take up half a page

http://gzmusic.org/ (to the very right)

thanks

or would this just be best done in html?

In the actions layer:

stop();
            
myDateChooser.setStyle("themeColor", "special_blue");	
myDateListener = new Object();
           
myDateListener.change = function(eventObj)
{
    var eventSource = eventObj.target;
          
    var theSelectedDate = eventSource.selectedDate; 
        // format the date
    var theDate = theSelectedDate.getDate();
    var theMonth = theSelectedDate.getMonth() + 1;
    var theYear = theSelectedDate.getFullYear();
    var formattedDate = theMonth + "-" + theDate + "-"+ theYear;
	    // In case the user clicks the same date twice
		if (theDate == undefined) {
		return;
}
		if(theDate == 30 && theMonth == 1 && theYear == 2006) {
			statusMessage1.text = " Corey's Birthday ";
		}
		if(theDate == 6 && theMonth == 9 && theYear == 2006) {
			statusMessage1.text = " Eric's Birthday ";
		}
		if(theDate == 10 && theMonth == 7 && theYear == 2006) {
			statusMessage1.text = " Alyssa's Birthday ";
		}
				
 
	
    // compose the message
    msg = "You selected " + formattedDate;
           
    // display the message
    statusMessage.text = msg;
}

myDateChooser.addEventListener ("change", myDateListener);
myDateListener = new Object();
myDateChooser.showToday = true;

//*****************************************************************
// (Year, month, day)  0 = Jan   11 = Dec
//*****************************************************************
myDateChooser.selectableRange = {rangeStart:new Date(2006, 0, 1), 
rangeEnd:new Date(2006, 11, 31)}

The bolded area is what you change.

You cannot stand on two legs or as we say all good things are three:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<calendar color="72A372">
  <year value="2006">
    <month value="3">
      <day value="22">
        <label>Got my calendar!!!</label>
        <description>This is the day I got a calendar</description>
      </day>
    </month>
  </year>
</calendar>

that is the xml file. If you go to march 3 on the calendar you'll see this message. Say if you wanted to add another day do this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<calendar color="72A372">
  <year value="2006">
    <month value="3">
      <day value="22">
        <label>Got my calendar!!!</label>
        <description>This is the day I got a calendar</description>
//To place an event on the same day you do it like this:
        <label>It's a label!!!</label>
        <description>The label is the headline and this is the content</description>
      </day>
//for a different day in the same month
      <day value="30">
         <label>It's another label!!!</label>
        <description>More description</description>
      </day>
    </month>
    <month value="6">
//for a different month. add the same stuff from above to here.
    </month>
  </year>
</calendar>

It's a pattern. Plus you don't need to keep reposting the swf.

[Veggie1232]

That is the link to the original file. It is a lot more descriptive. It uses flash 7 actionscript 1.0. In the file from earlier I converted it to flash 8 w/2.0. Also, April is the 4th month. Make sure you're looking at the right month. Check march because the first bit of code I gave you was in that month. The code makes the current year/month/day show. The code works fine.

[Veggie1232]

oh i know i can change one day

say i make today have text on it and when u click on it theres more information well i can do that once but how do i add more days is all im asking how do i incert more code because im doing it wrong

like show me what the top code would look like if u had 2 days with text on them

ty

[swak]

To start a new year you need two tags <year value="2006"> and </year> same with days <day value="20"> and </day> If you want something included in that year/month/day then you need to place it between the two like this:

<day value="20">
<label>
Got my calendar!!!
</label>
<description>
This is the day I got a calendar
</description>
</day>

[Veggie1232]

hmm i dont think u get what im asking

what would the code LOOk like if i had 2 days filled out or even 2 diffrent days in 2 diffrent mounths

because i can only edit one day :S

lol

this xml calendar is pretty amazing. I just had 2 questions about it... for anyone that really understands what is going on.

1) the print function... what is "bmovie"?... what are we actually telling the program to print?

2) is there a fairly easy way to add date events without opening the xml directly?... you know, creating a blank form to send data to a php, then to write in the xml and then called back by the flash doc. It's kind of a long-shot question, but oh well.

I'm trying to make a blog type thing and I wanted to use a calendar system as a basis. Now I've got to figure out how to incorporate images into each date. =D
This is really cool though. Any info would be awesome! thanks

[swak]

1) not sure
2) I would like to know the same thing. Quickly looking through some links http://www.phpfreaks.com/scripts/XML_Tools/46.php might help. Tell me what you come up with.
