One cool thing about it is the IDestroyable interface and the CasaMovieClip, CasaSprite, CasaTextField , etcthat all have a destroy() method that cleans up all events, removed instances and even removes it from the parent display object. Gets me thinking why this isn’t just part of DisplayObject in the first place.

From the release:

Here are a few of our favorite things in CASA Lib AS3:

• Standardized external load API
• Easily remove listeners with IRemovableEventDispatcher
• destroy methods make garbage collection easy
• Large group of utility classes for common manipulations

We will be elaborating further the power of CASA Lib in future blog posts.

As with any new release there will be bugs that emerge, but with your help we promise to release updates often to keep CASA Lib as stable as possible.

The pseudo code is the same for getting age in any language. Get current date, get birthdate to compare. Subtract the current years from the birthday years, then subtract one more year if the day or month is less than today’s day and month.

 
function calculateAge(birthdate:Date):Number {
    var dtNow:Date = new Date();// gets current date
    var currentMonth:Number = dtNow.getMonth();
    var currentDay:Number = dtNow.getDay();
    var currentYear:Number = dtNow.getFullYear();
 
    var bdMonth:Number = birthdate.getMonth();
    var bdDay:Number = birthdate.getDay();
    var bdYear:Number = birthdate.getFullYear();
 
    // get the difference in years
    var years:Number = dtNow.getFullYear() - birthdate.getFullYear();
    // subtract another year if we're before the
    // birth day in the current year
    if (currentMonth < bdMonth || (currentMonth == bdMonth && currentDay < bdDay)) {
        years--;
    }
    return years;
}
 
function dateStringToObject(dateString):Date {
    var date_ar = dateString.split("/");
    return new Date(date_ar[2],date_ar[0] - 1,date_ar[1]);
}
 
var dateNow:Date = new Date();
var checkDate:String = "11/25/1976";
var dateBirthday:Date = dateStringToObject(checkDate);
trace("dateNow = "+dateNow);
trace("dateBirthday = "+dateBirthday);
trace("age = "+calculateAge(dateBirthday));
