Convert seconds to minutes and seconds in Actionscript 3 - actionscript-3

Question

I'm working with the youtube API and I'm getting the current time on the video as seconds.
What I want to do is to convert them into this: MM:SS
I've tried to google and try different things by myself but nothing seemed to work and be efficient.
I'll be glad to see how it can be done in a good and efficient way thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Something like:
var formattedTime =
(Math.floor(seconds/60)) + ":" + // minutes
(seconds % 60 >= 10 ? "": "0") + // padding for seconds if needed
(seconds % 60)); // seconds

Answer 2

here is a little class I use all the time just for what you need. I've also added a timecodes to seconds method. Simply use it like Timecodes.secondsToTimecode(634); which will output 00:10:34
package com.ronnieswietek.utils
{
public class Timecodes
{
public function Timecodes()
{
}
public static function timecodeToSeconds(tcStr:String):Number
{
var t:Array = tcStr.split(":");
return (t[0] * 3600 + t[1] * 60 + t[2] * 1);
}
public static function secondsToTimecode(seconds:Number):String
{
var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds/60);
var remainingSec:Number = seconds % 60;
var remainingMinutes:Number = minutes % 60;
var hours:Number = Math.floor(minutes/60);
var floatSeconds:Number = Math.floor((remainingSec - Math.floor(remainingSec))*100);
remainingSec = Math.floor(remainingSec);
return getTwoDigits(hours) + ":" + getTwoDigits(remainingMinutes) + ":" + getTwoDigits(remainingSec);
}
private static function getTwoDigits(number:Number):String
{
if (number < 10)
{
return "0" + number;
}
else
{
return number + "";
}
}
}
}

Answer 3

var timeStr:String;
//Video's length >= 1 hour
if( seconds >= 60*60 ){
//Format-> H:MM:SS
timeStr = (""+Math.floor(seconds/(60*60))) + //Hours
":"+
("0"+Math.floor((seconds%(60*60))/60)).substr(-2)+ //Minutes
":"+
("0"+(seconds%60)).substr(-2); //Seconds
}else{
//Format-> MM:SS
timeStr = ("0"+Math.floor(seconds/60)).substr(-2)+ //Minutes
":"+
("0"+(seconds%60)).substr(-2); //Seconds
}

Answer 4

Something a little easier to read to get your head around it:
var seconds:int = 200;
var minutes:int = 0;
while(seconds >= 60)
{
seconds -= 60;
minutes ++;
}
trace(minutes, seconds);
The leading zeros part can be done like so:
var secStr:String = String(seconds);
var minStr:String = String(minutes);
secStr = (secStr.length == 1) ? "0" + secStr : secStr;
minStr = (minStr.length == 1) ? "0" + minStr : minStr;
trace(minStr + ":" + secStr);
