Greg, I'm not sure, but I think that in AS 3.0 you can't assign an empty string to a Date Object. It's stronglly typed. As well you can't assigns na empty string to a Numeric variable. You must return 0 or -1 to a numeric variable. I guess that's the problem.
As you're using Flex2 and ColdFusion, have you tested using session variables? It's not working for me and I don't know why. I tested the same components using just the browser and it worked. Thanks.

Thing is when there is a date in it, it returns a date. When there is no date in it, it returns a empty string. Flex is having indigestion as the Flex variable is of date type. So when a date is returned, its happy, when a empty string is returned, it complains about coersion failure from string to date. If this were a different language I would use something like IsDate, but the closest thing to it seems to be the DateValidator which, atleast as presented in the documentation, seems more complex then what I really need. Is there a function in Flex 2 that will accept a date or a empty string and will return ether a valid date or an empty date? Or is there a better way to pass the date from the CFC so even when its "" flex still sees it as a date type? Thanks ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Fair play?
