Subject: [flexcoders] Flex dates and time zones.

 

I have a date in a server in Australia:  22/12/2008 12:00:00 AM

I am using this label function for the grid to try and fix the time zone
issue but my date always comes back to me as 21/12/2008 in the datagrid.
I really just wan the exact date from the database regardless of where I
am in the world.

Any ideas?


// Label Grid Date
        public static function labelGridDate(item:Object,
column:DataGridColumn):String {
            var formatter:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
            var myDate:Date = item[column.dataField];
            formatter.formatString = "DD MMM YYYY";
            
            var offsetMilliseconds:Number =
item[column.dataField].getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000;
 
item[column.dataField].setTime(item[column.dataField].getTime() +
offsetMilliseconds);

            return formatter.format(item[column.dataField]);
        }

Paul.
