this is only an example, it will probably need to be adjusted based on your post types/fields.

function update_active_based_on_date() {
  // set the date
  $date = date('YMD');
  // query to get all posts with date < today
  $args = array(
    'post_type' => array(/* list of your post types here */),
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'meta_query = array(
      array(
        'key' => 'fl_date',
        'value' => $date,
        'compare' => '<'
      )
    ) // end meta_query
  ); // end $args
  $query = new WP_Query($args);
  // if posts are returned, loop over them and set active flag to false
  if ($query->have_posts()) {
    global $post;
    while ($query->have_posts()) {
      $query->the_post();
      update_field('active_field_name', 0, $post->ID);
    } // end while have_posts
    wp_reset_postdata();
  } // end if have_posts
} // end function
