Screensaver that interacts with time and date

Hi all
I have been asked to create a screensaver that will show a different movie/message all week, then at the end of the week I would need to have it revert back and do the same all over.
All 7 movies (one for each day of the week) will be located inside the SWF file, I just need to know if it's possible for the movies to change over with the computers time and date.
Thanks
Matt

I do apologize for my lack of scripting chops, I'm more on the designing side so I panic a little when it comes to this kind of stuff. But would I be on the right track If I began with the following script? I have got the document set up with each days movieclip on its own keyframe (7 in total) but it's just activating that keyframe on the given day that I'm finding difficult to work out. I assume it's a condition followed by a gotoAndPlay command?
var today_date : Date = new Date();
var dayOfWeek_array : Array = new Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");
var day_str : String = dayOfWeek_array[today_date.getDay()];

I am trying to find an app that will track the usage on my iphone with times and dates to see what was accessed on my phone when I was away from it and what if anything was done eg deleted messages viewed facebook etc?

Hi! I am trying to find an app that with track everything that is done on my phone with times and dates? im not really woried about call usage and texts sent I need it to view what has been done - for example:
Messages received
Messages deleted
Facebook viewed
Messages viewed
Internet viewed and what?
I just have an issue with someone using my phone - I used to track this through double clicking the home button and roughly knowing in what order I had been on things but they have sussed this one!
Thank you!!

No way to do that on a non-jailbroken iPhone. Why don't you just passcode protect your phone? That way no one but you can use it...unless they know your passcode.

Convert DV-AVI file from the sony camcorder into MPEG2 with time and date

I want to capture or convert a raw DV-AVI file from the sony camcorder into MPEG2 format...this i want frame by frame conversion and i also want the metadata i.e. time and date to be captured at the same time when the conversion is done....so i want to know that which is the JAVA tool available for that ?
pls.. kindly reply mi on the emaiID: [email protected] my contact no. is:09869256073
with regards,
nilesh hardikar

I read a whole bunch of random responses to similar questions ... here's some
Try opening the file in iMovie
Try changing the filename extension to ".dv"
Here's an interesting one: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6172027
But my personal favorite idea is to just re-export the file from a PC in a better supported codec
(BTW If you don't have access to a PC then you can easily install Bootcamp on your Mac .... you can even download a free prerelease copy of Windows 7 to install on the Bootcamp partition if you're quick)

Systemic error with times and dates across all. please help

So, having recently made the switch to the world of Apple, I am starting to get my teeth into things - however, struggeling on a couple of fronts. The first and most frustrating for me at the moment is the fact that the time on my messaging and calanders would all appear to be the same.
When I send and receive messages on skype - they all apear with the same time on them.
When I open my ical (tried to sync calendars with my ipad2 myself - and initially felt very please with myself) only to find that ALL events had sat as the time...throughout the entire day, and within the event box, the time (the same time as that which appears in skype) appears inside and at the begining of every entry.
I have tried to change the date and time settings - the clock at the top right of my screen is correct and changes as the hours go by......but still no change in the skpye messaging or in ical.....so frustrating - I use skype as a business tool and at present I am not able to copy and paste peoples messages into anythign else as the time is incorrect.
Please help

Extract time and data with a regular expression

Hi,
I have a string with time and date in a HTML statement.
String s =">19:59, 18 August 2006</a> ";
// I hope get
String s1="19:59, 18 August 2006";or
String s =">18:37, 4 September 1998</a>"Because of different length of months, so how use regular expression to extract it.
The second question is how to write the string into a file.
filename = "A.txt";
                File file = new File(filename);
          out=new BufferedOutputStream(
                    new FileOutputStream(file));
               byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
// then what?Thank you in advance!

If "WARNING" can never occur in the input then wedon't have to worry about making the regex not match
it.
Hmm, how about fool-proof? :)Bad idea, and impractical or impossible to implement. Excessively defensive coding leads to bloated, hard to maintain code, and a greater likelihood of bugs.
Code so that you code works correctly provided the preconditions are met. It's the caller's responsibility to meet them. Don't waste time and gunk up your code trying to handle inputs that aren't allowed to occur.

Asha 201 Time and Date remains on set value - not ...

I use a Nokia Asha 201 as a backup handset, so it is not used very often. Recently when i needed to use and after i charged it (the charge had run down) i set the time and date to the current time and date. i noticed a few minutes later that the clock had not progressed, it was still showing the time i set and saved it to. upon setting the time again i noticed that it was also not dispalying the date and time on the hoem screen as it always did, with all the settings still the same. it only shows "-------------" on the home screen. up to now it still appears that the clock (time and date) does not progress but remains showing the values i set it to. when accessing some of the other apps, i receive a prompt to set the date and time. Restored it to factory default settings a few times and reinstalled updates/firmware as well, with no success. Any advice please?

I have the same problem!

Compare current time and date with last modified?

Compare current time and date with last modified?
What is the ideal way to compared the last modified from the File class with the current date and time? last modifed value from File class is a long.

if(file.lastModified() < System.currentTimeMillis()) {
Like that?That tests whether the last modified time is before "now"--that is if the file was not modified in the future, so, yes.

Can I change incorrect time and date with

Hello,
I used my digital camera in a different time zone and forgot to set it accordingly. Now a bunch of photos have the incorrect time and date. Can I use Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) to change this? I only found instructions on the Internet for Elements, which I do not have.
Windows Live Photogallery was only mildly successful. In the Windows 7 Explorer the date is shown correctly, but when I go to open the file in Adobe Photoshop, the old, incorrect date is shown. That's why I hoped that I could change this for good with Photoshop.
Thanks in advance!

There are several dates in the metadata. THe date shot is set by the camera and I know that you can not change that in Bridge. There are programs out there on the web that will do it.

Has anyone else had issues with changing how the time and date look on the status menu in Mavericks?

I'm trying to make it so the year displays, but haven't been able to figure out how to change that. I have the Day of the Week, Month, Day and Time only and I haven't been able to figure out how to do that in the Date & Time or the Language & Region Settings.

There is no option in System Preferences. However, it may be possible to set it with a "defaults write" command.
This page shows how to set the time and date format in the Terminal, but doesn't show whether you can add the year.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/75116/i-want-to-change-clock-from-12h-t o-24h-mode-via-terminal
If you can find a description of Apple's date format code that includes the year, then it may be possible. Or not.
I'm guessing Apple thinks only Time Travellers need to ask what year it is...

Time and date reset to 2001 with Mac-Mini

Hi all,
I am a newbie with Mac, I just got a new mac-mini some weeks ago from Apple store. Everything is ok, except that, when I start my mac-mini, the time is reset and the date is reset to year 2001. I first saw that settings were to start with a network device, so I changed it and set to start from hard disk. Doing this, I pressed "restart", and it worked, the time and date were no longer changed. However, if the mac-mini stays for some hours turned off, the next time I start it it resets again the date and time, and it alerts me that with this new time&date settings some programs may not work well. So I need everytime to go to time&date setting and to change manually them, which is indeed annoying.
How can I set definitely time&date, and why does the mac-mini resets them?
Thanks
mac-mini early 2006

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
I would eliminate the second option, cause it does not seem to go into shutdown, and moreover I have other PCs which do not suffer from power supply issues.
I asked a pc-shop and was told that maybe the small battery inside the motherboard is over and need to be changed. Is it possible? The mac-mini is just come out from the factory!
If your first option is true, I am afraid I need to send it to assistance at Apple!
Thanks a lot
Bye

PLz tell me why! How to deal with it !

Unless it's confirmed officially that your phone is defective, then you can ask for a replacement. Or you have to live with you. However you can trade it for a new one if you don't care the price drop.

How to show two different plots with current system time and date on waveform chart

I am using one waveform chart to display the more than one value continiously. The data are comming properly but i am not getting my system (pc) time and date on x axis. It is showing default date and time (i.e.01/01/1904 5:30:45). Please give me suggestions to display the real time and date on x axis of waveform chart.

How does your data look like? Do you graph waveform data types, dynamic data, or plain arrays/clustes? In the case of plain arrays, you need to set x0 to the absolute start time of your data, e.g. with a property node.
I you would attach your code (or an image) we could offer more specific advice. There are too many possibilities.

Have you tried setting it to synchronize with an internet clock...click the date in the lower right corner...change date and time settings...internet time. Also check the time zone.
