[RESOLVED] Change opacity based on hours and minutes?!!

Hi guys, i have troubles. i can change the alpha opacity from images but onl by hour, when i try to add minutes doesn't works correctly.

I have differents images, they must show at differents hours and minutes...like >= 16 :30 to <18 - hs

heres the code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myDate = new Date();
_root.Hour = myDate.getHours();
_root.Minutes= myDate.getMinutes();
switch( myDate ){
break;
default: trace( myDate );}
}


inside the object/images:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if ((_root.Hour >= 16 ) && (_root.Hour <18)) {
setProperty(this, _alpha, 100);
}
if ((_root.minutes >= 30 )) {
setProperty(this, _alpha, 100);
}
else {
setProperty(this, _alpha, 0);
}
}


hope you can help me with this one, or show me another way to get it. Before i get crazy :P

Thnks for advance.

Actionscript Code:

if ((_root.Hour >= 16 && _root.Minutes >= 30) && (_root.Hour <18 && _root.Minutes <30)) {
        setProperty(this, _alpha, 100);
    }

this^ ?

thnks for the reply,

i was trying that way but doesn't works , i think i'm making something wrong with the "&" and the root minutes, i cannot fix it.

just works in a simple way , but i need add another minute and hour time values:

if ((_root.Hour >=12) && ( _root.Minutes <30)) {
setProperty(this, _alpha, 100);
}
else {
setProperty(this, _alpha, 0);
}
}

My code has a lot of errors, I just noticed :P

btw, why are you using setProperty? I think that's deprecated, use the new version:

Actionscript Code:

_alpha = 100;

_alpha = 0;

right, old school rules . i just change the property.

i should put some >=16 <18 and <30 and >30 for any half and hour in that period.
Im trying figure out the way. Because in this way the image dissapears at 17 <30 hs

Could you give me a detailed overview of what image you want to appear when, and how many images, and at what time they should appear? :)

of course, the images are in 6 layers in ascendent order and a background image in the bottom.

something like this:

img 6 - 22 to 00 Hs
img 5 - 19.30 to 21.30 Hs
img 4 - 18.30 to 19.30 Hs
img 3 - 16.30 to 18.30 Hs
img 2 - 9 to 12 Hs
img 1 - 7 to 9 Hs
Background -

looks simple but the troubles comes with the img 3,4 and 5 :S

Actionscript Code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    date = new Date();
    hours = date.getHours();
    minutes = date.getMinutes();
    time = hours+int((minutes/60)*10)/10;
    
    if(time >= 22 && < 24){
        // img 6
    } else if(time >= 19.5 && time <= 21.5){
        // img 5
    } else if(time >= 18.5 && time < 19.5){
        // img 4
    } else if(time >= 16.5 && time < 18.5){
        // img 3
    } else if(time >= 9 && time <= 12){
        // img 2
    } else if(time >= 7 && time < 9){
        // img 1
    }
}

I simply convert the minutes into hours, and add the hours and minutes together. Now, 30 minutes is equals to a half, which is 0.5, that's why I am doing that, in case you're wondering!

Hope this works :)

Thanks for the clue, you are some kind of jedi master :D sorry for answer late, too many things to be done

im trying right now. Btw its works in as2? because i can't change the images opacity, may be some issue or something missing with the first code.

Did you make any test?

I suggest you put all the images inside a Movieclip, give it an instance name, and go to the frames with different images inside the commented code in my provided code:)

yeah i did it in that way, calling directly the images and leaving that alpha crazy idea....

THKS! for help me and find the way. u are the best my friend :D

take care!

cool :)
