OK no worries. That's what we do here (setting times to 12 on the way in and out of the service). There's a SOAP date type (as opposed to dateTime), but we try not to use it because Xfire produces them incorrectly, and Flex's parser isn't robust enough to handle the rubbish data we get from Xfire :)
The reason I was asking about which versions is just because Flex 2 had a bug and couldn't parse timezones. What you have is bascially a business problem unfortunately, the computers are doing what they do: recording time in an accurate way. I'd suggest the "clean" fix is that when you need a client in timezone X to see a time as it is in timezone Y (the server / business), you can either include the server's timezone offset in your response (nicer), or parse the date yourself ignoring the timezone info (seems kludgey to me). -Josh On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 2:56 AM, javadmanx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm using version 3 of Flex SDK.
