?how do I?...action calendar to automatically count down by 1 every day

I have a file (view the calendar in the upper right of
caribousystems.com that I
don't want to have to manually update every day for the next 170
days.
It is a countdown calendar that I would like to know options
for how to make it automatically change the start number and second
number by - 1 every day at midnight until it reaches zero.
I would like to know about my options for achieving this. All
insight is appreciated.

Hi
Interesting Problem, First I would suggest you set a constant
variable (in date format) as your start number, then using a second
variable to get the users timezone data. You can extrapulate the
day/month/year content against your start variable (in date format)
leaving you with a number that equates to days remaining.
When ever the page is refreshed or reloaded the number is
always calculated, and covers any time zone around the world.
See the Flash Help about: Actionscript 2.0 Language Reference
- subtopic DATE
And all its relatives, I am sure you will find what you need.
Hope it helps

  • Team Calendar Iview showing all employees absent for every day?

    Hi All,
    We're using r/3 4.7, ESS 50.4 and MSS 60.1.20.  The team calendar displays with all employees absent for every day.  Clearly, this is not correct.
    Is there extra config to be done or something that we are missing?
    Thanks in advance,

    When you add a event it says alert. Tap alert then change to 1 week before.

  • TS4118 When I print out my ical calendars, there are three duplicate events happening every day of the week and I never entered this event?

    When I print out my calendars from ical, there is one event that is reoccurring 3x/day/every day of week! It is not showing on the actual calendar and I cannot figure out how or where it's coming from? It's in the calendar marked Jimmys action which just shows my sons activities and for this activitiy, I put one day with a recurring weekly on just two days of the week at a specific time and this is showing up as well and correctly? What should I do to remedy this?

    UPDATE: I think I found the answer to my problem. I travel between two time zones and recently started listing event times as "floating" so they don't get messed up when I travel between west and east coasts. It seems that when I want to print out a calendar sheet, the time of the event doesn't show up if it's a "floating" event. So, I need to go back to putting a time zone in and turning off "time support" in Preferences for iCal. BTW this (in reverse) is a solution for those who don't want to see appointment times printed out – make it a "floating" event.

  • How do I restore my lost tabs, when I'm synchornising every day?

    Hi,
    As I had some problems with FFox crashing unexpectedly I tried a solution, where I had to disable all my addons, restart FireFox and enable them again. But as I've done this and wanted to "Restore Previous Session" all what I got from restoring was the add-on's set-up.
    So my question is: When I synchronize every day, how can I make a use of it? Is it possible to restore all my lost tabs?

    Did you check for History > Recently Closed Tabs/Windows ?
    You need to place sessionstore.js in the profile folder and thus have to rename sessionstore.bak to sessionstore.js
    Firefox copies sessionstore.js to sessionstore.bak at the start of a session to make it possible to use "History > Restore Previous Session" to restore that session at any time.

  • How can I alter a calendar script to place progressive dates on every day in the calendar year?

    Is there an easy way either to alter the calendar script or create something that will allow for variable text in each day of the year?
    I am creating a calendar for a cattle rancher, and he wants to include a gestation calendar in the design.
    So...instead of the Julian date on every caledar day, he would like to include the date that a calf will be born if the cow had been bred on a particular day.  For example:  On the calendar date, January 1, in that box, another smaller date will appear - 10/9, On January 2 - 10/10 and so on. But, I need this progression to continue throughout the whole year.
    I have attempted to manually enter each date in a separate table and super impose it over the calendar, but this is very slow and very tedious. There has to be a faster way.
    I am comfortable looking at code and can often times figure out which fields to change, but I am a bit lost on this one. Where do I start?
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    That helped, but still did not solve the "continous scroll" question.
    I did however discover that if you go to Search and type in a "common" letter like "s", a Continuous List view will appear.
    Any further help on how to do this as a default view would be appreciated from any and all.
    Thanks for the help and for the link paulcb.

  • How to set a calendar reminder for the last Friday of every month?

    I need to set a reminder to go off on the Monday following the last Friday of every month. I could settle for a reminder on the last Friday of every month and then delay the reminder by a couple of days, but I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I found an App that solved my problem called "Calendar Tools"

  • How do you set a calendar alarm for a specific time on the day of the event without it being an all-day event

    Does anyone know how to set a calendar alert at a specific time on the day of the event.
    So that the alert date adjusts accordingly if you were to copy and past it to another date.
    The custom alert function kind of does this, but because it is an absolute alert (not relative) it will still refer to the date you initially set it to when you copy and paste it to another date. So this creates more work where you would have to go and manually change all the custom alerts. I have potential
    Anyone know how to set this kind of calendar alert?
    Thanks in advance

    Greetings: Set the alarm to message you (on your screen) and then snooze it every day for 15 days, or, set 15 separate alarm messages. There is probably an AppleScript somewhere on the web too, try searching that way as well.

  • How do you add old movie count downs to Final Cut Pro X ?

    I am trying to make a video from the films that i recorded while skiing, and i was wondering how i would add an old movie count down into Final Cut Pro X, becasue i cant seem to find anywhere that does it.
    Thanks for the help guys.

    No possible.... You'll need to jot them down manually. Very painful especially if your dealing with a 2hr long DVD

  • Konsole count down same line

    I'm trying to do a count down in a terminal program. However, how can i get the effect of counting down without having to print new lines or having it appear as 88 87 86 and so on.
    I know how to count down and everything im just not sure as to how i could get it to look as a live count down clock.
    thanks

    It's going to depend on the terminal in question. Different terminals have different capabilities, and some terminals simply wouldn't be able to do this.
    But on most terminals that you probably have access to, you can do this using Control-M, which is "carriage return", which is represented in Java with the escape sequence "\r".
    So you can write a number, wait a second, write a carriage return, then write the next lowest number.

  • I have an older I-Pad and have daily recurring spam.  Always the same and some going back to January. I delete them every day and they delete them in the trash folder but they keep coming back.  How do I get rid of them ?

    I have an older I-pad and have recurring spam. How do I stop it ???  I delete it every day and then delete the trash folder but it keeps coming back.  Thanks.

    For those kind of mails, unsubscribing doesn't work. they're breaking the law trying to scam you, they're not going to respect unsubscribe. Unsubscribe only works with real companies. Such as unsubscribing from Gap company mail etc. Spammers can actually use the 'unsubscribe' as a confirmation 'hey, there's a real person here, hit em hard'
    I'm not really familiar with g-mail, but most mail programs have filters you can set up, such as telling it 'everything with dating in the title, send to the trash' etc.
    You can do some research on that or have someone help you with some hands on help.
    If that e-mail has ever been used for e-greeting cards, or given to enter contests, etc, your address is out there. You will never get rid of it totally.
    If it's really, really bad, sometimes what you have to do is abandon the address and get a new one and only give it out to people you want to contact you. Don't  enter it on websites, or use e-cards or things like that that are spam collection mechanisms.

    Yes, the passwords are the same now. Verizon made a big push a while back to give customers a single login. They merged everyone's accounts, not because it is more secure, but because they think customers will find it easier. No, there is no way to change just your email password.
    And no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using Thunderbird. Many of us have it configured for verizon.net addresses, and it works just fine.

  • How to export several calendars simultaneously?

    How to export several calendars simultaneously? And I don't mean by grouping them into one group calendar.
    I need it for operating iCalendar, and I do not have patience to do basically the same action seven times in a row. A group calendar is not a relevant solution either because I want to distinguish the individual calendars by their different colors.
    Can you do it directly from the iCal Sources folder (the calendars carry crazy names)?
    Can you do it by invoking the Terminal?

    Hi Ken,
    Here is a slightly more rigourously thought out version of this Applescript. It should not crash and gives some more feedback about what happened.
    set theDestination to choose folder with prompt "Where do you want the files?"
    set myPath to alias ((path to application support from user domain) & "iCal:Sources:" as string)
    tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set myFolders to (folders of folder myPath)
    set doneList to ""
    repeat with myFolder in myFolders
    set thePath to ((myFolder as alias) & "info.plist") as text
    set theXML to read file thePath
    repeat with myPara from 1 to count of paragraphs of theXML
    if paragraph myPara of theXML contains "Title" then set theName to (characters 10 thru -10 of (paragraph (myPara + 1) of theXML) & ".ics") as string
    end repeat
    set name of file "corestorage.ics" of myFolder to theName
    delay 0.5
    try
    duplicate file theName of myFolder to theDestination with replacing
    set doneList to doneList & return & theName
    on error theErr
    display alert "File '" & theName & "' could not be copied." message theErr giving up after 30

    set name of file theName of myFolder to "corestorage.ics"
    end repeat

  • How can I sync calendars between my mac, iphone and android phone

    I use an iPhone as my primary phone, but do travel alot and need to have a secondary phone with a local SIM card when I travel. For this reason, I am considering buying an android phone. One of my major concerns though, is how would I be able to (if possible at all) sync calendars and contacts between all the devices. Today with iCloud I can get the iCloud syncing between my iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone. When I introduce an android device, I am going to have to bring in Google calendars as well, so how do I get my iCal calendars to automatically sync to google calendars without having to creat duplicate calendars or without having to basically migrate to using only google calendars? Same goes for the contacts?

    On your Mac and iPad, turn off iMessage.
