Post subject:  time.getDay troubles
ive been doing flash for 1 or 2 years, but never the actionscript portion. I just mostly do cool effects and stuff, but now i wanna learn actionscript. I have a base understanding of programming, from years of turing. I usually take a tutorial, and then try to expand on it, to make it cooler, or more advanced. So i took a simple clock tutorial and am trying to figure how to add the day. I have the right var, but it gives it back to me in a number, which is understandable. How can i convert it? I have already tried if statements, but it always comes back as sunday. I dont have enough understanding of AS to fix it myself, so i was hoping someone could help me. Heres what i have so far. clock_txt is the clock, day_txt is the day output
code:
time=new Date();
var seconds = time.getSeconds()
var minutes = time.getMinutes()
var hours = time.getHours()
var day = time.getDay()
var day_word:String;
if (hours<12) {
        ampm = "AM";
}
else{
        ampm = "PM";
}
while(hours>12){
        hours = hours - 12;
}
if (hours<10)
{
        hours = "0" + hours;
}
if (minutes<10)
{
        minutes = "0" + minutes;
}
if (seconds<10)
{
        seconds = "0" + seconds;
}
if (day = 1)
{
        day_word = "Monday";
}
if (day = 2)
{
        day_word = "Tuesday";
}
if (day = 3)
{
        day_word = "Wednesday";
}
if (day = 4)
{
        day_word = "Thursday";
}
if (day = 5)
{
        day_word = "Friday";
}
if (day = 6)
{
        day_word = "Saturday";
}
if (day = 7)
{
        day_word = "Sunday";
}

clock_txt.text = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds + " " + ampm;
date_txt.text = day_word
