This javascript which I'm using works with a webcam to record a video.

The end result, after the file is recorded generates a file name, as you can see from the code below: Video+video_id.

I recorded a file on April 30th, and the file was named: Video1335806296490.flv. I understand that the time and date in this file name, is the time and day of the recording expressed in seconds.

Would there be an easy line or two of code that I could add so that when I see the file name generated, it would be easier to recognize when the file name is created, as in some type of easy to read month and day and year and time of day?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. (Or suggest an alternative tweak to make file names more recognizable?)

Thanks.

   <script type="text/javascript">
var video_id = get_id();
var filename = get_parm('filename');
if(filename == '' || filename == null)
{
filename = 'Video'+video_id;
}
 
var flashvars = {
filename: filename,
rtmpPath: "rtmp://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
finishURL: "videoplayer.htm?filename="+filename,
};
var params = {
menu: "false",
scale: "noScale",
allowScriptAccess: "always",
bgcolor: "#000000"
};
var attributes = {
id:"webcamrecording"
};
swfobject.embedSWF("recording.swf", "recording", "620", "470", "9", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
 
function get_id()
{
var newDate = new Date();
return newDate.getTime();
}
 
function get_parm(name)
{
name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );
if( results == null )
{
return "";
}
else
{
return results[1];
}
}
 
</script>

At the moment looks all automated and autogenerated by the system and JS.

You can try:
------------------------
var vidName = filename

vidName = "VideoA"
------------------------

But this I would be all hardcoded into you file above so every video would be called VideoA!

Unless you have a front end interface too where when a name is typed it is parsed and saved it backend to the JS into an empty var ( eg. var = "..." ) then outputted
to your actual video file eg. videoFile.swf.


Also try asking some guys over at StackOver website, they know too much.

Well their answers are of the same "quality" as yours, it really doen't seem worth it!

So explain please; Exactly how DOES hardcoding a filename become the answer to ...
