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

[mrfrank]

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.

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:

_alpha = 100;

_alpha = 0;

[mrfrank]

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?

[mrfrank]

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

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 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?

[Nig 13]

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

[mrfrank]

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

take care!
