I had exactly the same issue...basically the Flash Player is taking into 
account the client timezone and performing and adjustment when displaying 
date/time information. I would really like for this to be an option set 
programmatically, but alas :)
 
Are you using some kind of Formatter on your date/time object? 
 
What you might want to do is use the UTC info of date object to format it 
yourself:
 
date.getFullYear()

+ "-" + date.getUTCMonth() + 1

+ "-" + date.getUTCDate()

+ " " + date.getUTCHours()

+ ":" + date.getUTCMinutes();

Subject: [flexcoders] Timezone Problem



My server is located in Chicago, Illinois. (GMT-6) My computer is
located in Indianapolis, Indiana. (GMT-5)

Times are stored on the server for a calendar application. Say the
time stored in the server is 17:00 in the database. Using ColdFusion,
a time of 5:00 PM is returned. However, in a Flex application, the
time of 6:00 PM is returned.

How can I write my Flex application in such a way that it can be run
from any user's timezone while the server has a different timezone but
still get the time of 5:00 PM exactly?

Thanks for any help.
