Hey,
I love this little baby! I saw what djsnoop.com had done with his and I was hooked.
I've tweaked mine plenty visually,
http://www.walkersystems.net/, and now I'm ready to dive into hacking the programming. Here's a couple of things I would like to know more about
:
1 - How to change it from M T W T F S S, to S M T W T F S.
2 - Main timeline, frame 1:

// simulate a click on today's date to show any events that happen today

That would seem to mean show today's events (if any) when the calendar loads. Mine shows the events of whatever is the first day in the month that has events. So, how would I stop it from showing anything when it first loads up? Or have it show todays events at load time and fade out... I like the blank space and need the real estate on the page.
3 - Is it possible to have flash update the xml file on the server? Of have calendar read from multiple files based on week date etc...? I put a little "add" button in the top right-hand corner and it'd be very cool to be able to click on a day, then click add or edit etc...
4 - Would it be possible to interface it with other programs? Like outlook or the message board, "ikonboard?" Maybe by exporting a csv file from outlook based on a new outlook category "spark" or whatever? It'd be hot to be able to add an event to my palm pilot phone and after hot synching with outlook, have it automatically show up on my webpage!
I added another section to "Date Box Background" class called "today." I simply call that frame label when it's today's date rather than turning on a background and changing the text color. Today, I noticed for the first time that when it's today and there is an event, the box defaults to "action" view. I changed the code a bit to show the "today" view by putting the following directly after the line that sets the mc to "action"
Code:
if (this.date.getTime() == this.today.getTime()) {
this.bg_mc.gotoAndStop("today");
}
how would I go about having yet another section, "today:event" so that not only can I see if it's today, but that today also has an event? In fact, more sections in "DateBoxBackground" for more types of criteria. ie: birthday, level of importance, work related, personal, whatever... the sections could be as simple as having a different colored dot for each type of event that would allow you to have multiple colored dots in one day signifying multiple types of events on one day. Or, a thin colored line that xtends across multiple days for a 3-day long event. In whatever day box the event starts, just add:(dot.width=('AmtOfDaysForEvent'*25)) or whatever. Here's a mock up image of what I mean, sort of like apples iCalendar.
I'm typing a million miles an hour... sorry for the run on.
Hope to hear from you soon!
