RE: [flexcoders] Re: date problem?
ECMAScript did it this way and ActionScript was trying to follow ECMAScript.

Or maybe the person that wrote the Java Date class is from Venus and the
person that wrote the Actionscript one just copied him. You might get quite
some support on the Java assertion...

Months start at 0 and go up to 11.
Don't ask me why.

If you pass two or more arguments, the Date object is assigned a time value

You're old enough to make your own decisions about the environment without me
telling you what you should and shouldn't print. But if you do print, I hope
this signature doesn't cause the message to go onto an additional page. Because
that would be kind of stupid, wouldn't it?

[flexcoders] Re: Date problem - going over daylight saving date
Hi Peter, The problem is that Date class does not provide method addDay() as would any decent class will do. So you have to muck around manually. and it does mean that you have to deal with timezones and other stuff you really don't want to deal with. And by the way - DateChooser component will not select current date with nice blue colour unless you set hours, minutes & seconds to zero. And here comes the problem of calendar navigation. PS I am not surprised with the reaction on this problem - Adobe is still 100% designer company and Microsoft is 100% software company. I keep dreaming about at least 80-20 mixture... :) Cheers, Dmitri. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Peter Anselmo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have been doing a scheduling app that runs into this issue.. if you think > about it.. adding 24 hours isn't always the same as adding a day because a > day can be 23, 24 or 25 hours.
