Flash; change element based on current date

[irishgrizzly]

Have anyone ever had to do anything this? Flash animation where one element (eg a calendar graphic) changes depending on the day of the month? That way the graphic changes automatically and doesn't have to be re-uploaded everyday.

Looks like you could create a new Date object in AS3, and call the getDate() method to get the number representation of the date, and then update that number in a dynamic text field.
