If statements that load Text according to the Day of the week..

[MsChrissyAnn]

I am so stuck on this. I have never worked with Dates/Days in AS3 and I cannot figure this out.

What I need is a code that pulls up different .txt files depending on what day of the week it is. So...If it's Monday it loads Monday.txt, if it's Tuesday it loads Tuesday.txt and so on.

In case it matters I'm working in Flash CS4 and AS3. Using this code for a site for a friends bar, they have daily specials that change almost every week. So I want him to be able to change the text with out involving me. Hence the .txt files...and he thought it would be cool to have it on the home page saying "Hey it's Monday come in during Happy hour for $2 tequila shots"

Any helps or pointers would be awesome!

Cheers!

Here is some code to get you started.

//Array to hold message days
var dayMessages:Array = new Array();
dayMessages[0] = 'This is Sunday message';
dayMessages[1] = 'This is Monday message';
dayMessages[2] = 'This is Tuesday message';
dayMessages[3] = 'This is Wednesday message';
dayMessages[4] = 'This is Thursday message';
dayMessages[5] = 'This is Friday message';
dayMessages[6] = 'This is saturday message';


//Function to display message
function showDayMessage():void
{
	var d:Date = new Date();
	var tf:TextField = new TextField();
	addChild(tf);

	switch(d.getDay())
	{
		case 0:
			trace('Sunday');
			tf.text = dayMessages[0];
		break;
		
		case 1:
			trace('Monday');
			tf.text = dayMessages[1];
		break;
		
		case 2:
			trace('Tuesday');
			tf.text = dayMessages[2];
		break;
		
		case 3:
			trace('Wednesday');
			tf.text = dayMessages[3];
		break;
		
		case 4:
			trace('Thursday');
			tf.text = dayMessages[4];
		break;
		
		case 5:
			trace('Friday');
			tf.text = dayMessages[5];
		break;
		
		case 6:
			trace('Saturday');
			tf.text = dayMessages[6];
		break;
	}
}


showDayMessage();
