Date based frame selection
Greetings!
And long time no see! I created this account about 10 years ago, but haven't visited in years... I can't even remember if I posted all that much or if I mostly ghosted, but I frequented regularly. Unfortunately my skill set is WAY outdated, (as in Macromedia) but when I stumbled across Flash Kit today while trying to freshen up, I knew this would be the place! Glad to see the forums are alive and well. I'm glad to be back!
Now I hope this is the right place to be asking said question, besides the occasional stop command I haven't really dabbled with scripting.
I'm working on an animation for a HyperSpin theme that I want to have display a different series of graphics depending on what season it is. I was hoping there was some way I could set variables for certain segments of dates and then based off those, have Flash jump to a pre-determined frame when the animation starts. Sadly this is WAY beyond my skill level, and I am hoping that someone could help me out, or at the very least point me in the right direction. Most of what I've found involved showing the current date/time within the animation which doesn't really help me out.
Anyway, thank you for any and all help!

Hi,
This might give you a start.
PHP Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var today:Date = new Date(); var nowMonth:Number = today.getMonth(); var trueMonth:Number = nowMonth + 1; var months:Array = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
var movieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
trace(nowMonth + " : Array month"); trace(trueMonth + " : True month"); trace(months[nowMonth] + " : Month name");
if (trueMonth < 4) { movieClip.gotoAndStop(1); }
if (trueMonth > 3 && trueMonth < 7) { movieClip.gotoAndStop(2); }
if (trueMonth > 6 && trueMonth < 10) { movieClip.gotoAndStop(3); }
if (trueMonth > 9) { movieClip.gotoAndStop(4); }
