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
