It will use whatever the client computer's current date/time is. It only takes daylight savings time into account if the client's computer has it set correctly and you'd be surprised how many times that doesn't happen.
My company wrote a stock charting application and ran into some issues with this. I suggest attempting to do date operations on the server and pass the current date/time into the flex app on load. I recently wrote an AIR (Flex) reminder application (http://www.reynacho.com/projects/reminder-application/). If this is the type of thing you need, I'd be happy to share some of the code with you. It uses a SQLite DB to store everything and depends entirely on the computer's time settings Jake Churchill CF Webtools 11204 Davenport, Ste. 100 Omaha, NE 68154 http://www.cfwebtools.com 402-408-3733 x103 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of joyfulrodger Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 9:10 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex scheduler application Hey all, I have been assigned a new project where i have to code a reminder scheduling application in flex with a coldfusion backend and sqlserver db. Basically user will select an hour when they receive a reminder to do a task. Its intended to be deployed world wide so I have to take into consideration time zones. What i wanted to know is, how is the date in flex worked out if i create a new date variable like so. var myDate:Date = new Date(); Will it pick up the time in the client computers timezone? Will it allow for daylight savings time? All help much appreciated. Thanks, Dave
