Array kookiness

Anyone see why this should return the character "T" instead of "Thu"? The original dynamic text elemnt has plenty of room to render 3 characters.

onClipEvent (load) {
myDay = new Date();
dayname = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wen", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"];
datenum = myDay.getDay();
code2 = dayname[datenum];
}

onClipEvent (load) {
myDay = new Date();
dayname = new Array("Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wen", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat");
datenum = myDay.getDay();
code2 = dayname[datenum];
}

Use that.

that does the same thing (I tried it last night) returning only "T" the notation I am using is just cleaner but equal to the long format new array call.

I just tried the code I gave above and it worked. Gave me Thu

Here is the file I built.

It's exactly as far as I can tell like the above example and in the format my flash book says the array and getDate commands should work. Maybe someone can look at it and run it there to see if it does for you what it does for me?

In your embedded fonts fot that text field, you only have certian letters loading. Change that to all.

Wow it's always something silly like that thanks!!!

I have noticed that Flash MX inherits the last active property (fonts, text char type, etc...) into the next work phase is there any way to turn this off so it just uses the apps defaults?

I don't know but if you found out, please tell me. I would like to turn that off too.
