Today I was in need of a function that would give me the current Unix Time. It might be possible that you don’t know what the Unix Time is exactly, check out this Wikipedia article.
In my need to get this time, I wrote the following quick and simple code.
It’s actually only 3 lines of code (well 5 with the function statement around it)
1 2 3 4 5 | public function GetUnixTime():String{ var myDate:Date = new Date(); var unixTime:Number = Math.round(myDate.getTime()/1000); return unixTime.toString(); } |
That’s it !
If you want to show it in eg a TextInput just do this :
1 | txtInput.text = GetUnixTime() |
