Date and Time

You can change the ActionScript code to something like this

Code:

---

ServertimeUrl = 'servertime.php?' + 1 * new Date();
addToTimer = 0;

lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onData = function(v) {
 if (v != undefined) {
  addToTimer = 1000 * v - getTimer();
 }
}
lv.load(ServertimeUrl);

oneHour = 3600000;

onEnterFrame = function() {
 if (addToTimer) {

  serverTime = getTimer() + addToTimer;
  serverTimeDate = new Date(serverTime);
  serverTimeM = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'][serverTimeDate.getUTCMonth()];
  serverTimeD = serverTimeDate.getUTCDate();
  serverTimeY = serverTimeDate.getUTCFullYear();

  txt1.text  = serverTimeM + ' ' + serverTimeD + ', ' + serverTimeY + '\n';

  zeroHundred = 86400000 * Math.floor(serverTime / 86400000);
  todayEightAM = zeroHundred + 8 * oneHour;
  todayTenAM = zeroHundred + 10 * oneHour;
  tomorrowEightAM = zeroHundred + 32 * oneHour;

  if (serverTime < todayEightAM) {
  remaining = todayEightAM - serverTime; // offer that started yesterday
  } else if (serverTime > todayTenAM) {
  remaining = tomorrowEightAM - serverTime; // offer that started today
  } else {
  remaining = 0; // no offer at this time
  }

  if (remaining){

  remainingSeconds = Math.floor(remaining / 1000);
  remainingMinutes = Math.floor(remainingSeconds / 60);
  remainingHours = Math.floor(remainingMinutes / 60);
  remainingSeconds -= remainingMinutes * 60;
  remainingMinutes -= remainingHours * 60;

  txt1.text += 'Countdown : ' + remainingHours + 'h ';
  txt1.text += remainingMinutes + 'm ' + remainingSeconds + 's';

  } else {
  txt1.text = 'No offer at this time';
  }

 }
}

I made a little mistake in my previous post. Here's the updated code that also displays the current time

Code:

---

ServertimeUrl = 'servertime.php?' + 1 * new Date();
addToTimer = 0;

lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onData = function(v) {
 if (v != undefined) {
  addToTimer = 1000 * v - getTimer();
 }
}
lv.load(ServertimeUrl);

oneHour = 3600000;

onEnterFrame = function() {
 if (addToTimer) {

  serverTime = getTimer() + addToTimer;
  serverTimeDate = new Date(serverTime);
  serverTimeM = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'][serverTimeDate.getUTCMonth()];
  serverTimeD = serverTimeDate.getUTCDate();
  serverTimeY = serverTimeDate.getUTCFullYear();
  serverTimeHrs = serverTimeDate.getUTCHours();
  serverTimeMin = '0' + serverTimeDate.getUTCMinutes();
  serverTimeMin = serverTimeMin.substr(-2);
  serverTimeSec = '0' + serverTimeDate.getUTCSeconds();
  serverTimeSec = serverTimeSec.substr(-2);

  txt1.text  = serverTimeM + ' ' + serverTimeD + ', ' + serverTimeY + '  ';
  txt1.text += serverTimeHrs + ':' + serverTimeMin + ':' + serverTimeSec + '\n';

  zeroHundred = 86400000 * Math.floor(serverTime / 86400000);
  todayEightAM = zeroHundred + 8 * oneHour;
  todayTenAM = zeroHundred + 10 * oneHour;
  tomorrowEightAM = zeroHundred + 32 * oneHour;

  if (serverTime < todayEightAM) {
  remaining = todayEightAM - serverTime; // offer that started yesterday
  } else if (serverTime > todayTenAM) {
  remaining = tomorrowEightAM - serverTime; // offer that started today
  } else {
  remaining = 0; // no offer at this time
  }

  if (remaining){

  remainingSeconds = Math.ceil(remaining / 1000);
  remainingMinutes = Math.floor(remainingSeconds / 60);
  remainingHours = Math.floor(remainingMinutes / 60);
  remainingSeconds -= remainingMinutes * 60;
  remainingMinutes -= remainingHours * 60;

  txt1.text += 'Countdown : ' + remainingHours + 'h ';
  txt1.text += remainingMinutes + 'm ' + remainingSeconds + 's';

  } else {
  txt1.text = 'No offer at this time';
  }

 }
}

Hi Wilbert,

your code is working fine! Everthing is finished and now this:

Quote:

---

1. The servertime is one hour back!
I mean in germany it is 17:00
but the servertime is 16:00

---

and embeding is not correct!

Quote:

---

When I embed the swf.file the servertime is not visible!
Although the servertime.php is in the same folder!

---

I got a problem, when I embed this swf file!

If I start the flash file directly, like
http:\\www........time.swf
it works fine with all the servertime!

If I embed this time.swf file in my Shop, it does not show the servertime, although I copied the servertime.php in the same folder where the swf file is!

Then I tried to embed the original Path:
I mean that path which is working...

Code:

---

<embed width="687" height="100" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www...../test/time.swf"></embed>

---

Im my folder test is the servertime.php and the time.swf
But it does not shows the servertime if I embed this file!


The website which embeded the time.swf file is a php site:

Code:

---

domain/index.php?cat=c14_city.html

---

I copied the servertime.php in the main folder without success!

Do you know the problem?

Try the base attribute. See this Adobe technote ...

Hi Wilbert,

thank you .... it is working now!
I changed the embeding code and copied the AC_FL_RunContent file
in the folder!
Embedding is now ok!

The servertime is one hour back!
I mean in germany it is 18:00
but the servertime shows 17:00

Do you know why?

THANK YOU SO MUCH for you patience with me!

Uwe

Did you use the php file with the date("Z") addition ?

If you did, I don't know why the servertime is different but the easiest fix in that case is a manual correction in the php file. First change <? echo time() + date("Z") ; ?> back to <? echo time(); ?> and see how many seconds the difference is with your current time. If for example the displayed time is two hours behind, simply correct the php file like this <? echo time() + 7200; ?>

Hi Wilbert,

Everthing works fine!

Code:

---

<? echo time() + 3600; ?>

---

You are a great programmer.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!

Bye
Uwe
