AS3 Convert SECONDS TO HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS

Posted by robert | Filed under ActionScript 3

Here is a little Flash code snippet to convert the seconds from your audio or video time display project into hours, minutes and remaining seconds (HH:MM:SS). The code is for ActionScript 3.0 but to make it combatable with ActionScript 2.0. Just change the uint data type to Number and it will work fine.

function convertToHHMMSS($seconds:Number):String 
{
	var s:Number = $seconds % 60;
	var m:Number = Math.floor(($seconds % 3600 ) / 60);
	var h:Number = Math.floor($seconds / (60 * 60));
	
	var hourStr:String = (h == 0) ? "" : doubleDigitFormat(h) + ":";
	var minuteStr:String = doubleDigitFormat(m) + ":";
	var secondsStr:String = doubleDigitFormat(s);
	
	return hourStr + minuteStr + secondsStr;
}

function doubleDigitFormat($num:uint):String 
{
	if ($num < 10) 
	{
		return ("0" + $num);
	}
	return String($num);
}

trace( convertToHHMMSS(10701) );

//Output = 02:58:21

   Thanks, this is awesome. I have a need to do the opposite: I have a variable that is always in the HH:MM:SS.s format, and I want to convert it to all minutes, lets say, add it to a new variable that will be part of a division function. Can you help?
