Looking at the ASP .NET Date Tutorial at http://www.easerve.com/developer/tutorials/asp-net-tutorials-dates.aspx you can figure out how the dates work. Using that I came up with the following which should help you out:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application pageTitle="World Time" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="100%" height="100%" backgroundSize="100%" layout="vertical" horizontalAlign="left" creationComplete="onComplete(event)" backgroundColor="#BBDDDD" > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.events.FlexEvent; [Bindable] private var dateText:String; private var CurrentTimeTicks:Number = 633516008019218750; public function onComplete(event:FlexEvent):void { var ticksSince1970:Number = CurrentTimeTicks - NumTicksTo1970(); var msSince1970:Number = ticksSince1970 / 10000; var currentDate:Date = new Date(msSince1970); dateText = currentDate.toDateString() + " " + currentDate.toTimeString(); } private function NumTicksTo1970():Number { var secondsPerDay:Number = 60 * 60 * 24; var numSecondsTo1970:Number = 0; for(var i:int = 1 ; i < 1970 ; i++) { if((i % 4 == 0 && i % 100 != 0) || i % 400 == 0) { numSecondsTo1970 += 366 * secondsPerDay; } else { numSecondsTo1970 += 365 * secondsPerDay; } } return 10000000 * numSecondsTo1970; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Text text="{dateText}" /> </mx:Application> --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Actually the problem is that the CurrentTimeTicks and UtcOffsetTicks > is returned in nanoseconds or increment of 100 nanoseconds so I > can't use, new Date(CurrentTimeTicks);.
