I wouldn't disagree!

There seems to be no useful functions for manipulating dates. They should copy all the methods and properties from the .NET DateTime class :o)

I swear, I really think the date class was designed by a crazy man. You hear that Adobe? - CRAZY! :D

I think I need more coffee....

The following code (which I'm sure is correct!), returns around 2.8 when I'm expecting around 3.2. Anyone spot my error?

public static function getMonths(startDate:Date, endDate:Date):Number
  {
   if (startDate > endDate)
   {
    var tmp:Date = endDate;
    endDate = startDate;
    startDate = tmp;
   }

   var numMonths:Number = 0;

   // Get number of months in years
   numMonths += (endDate.fullYear - startDate.fullYear) * 12
   numMonths += endDate.month - startDate.month;
   numMonths += (endDate.day - startDate.day) / 30; // This needs fixing

   return numMonths;
  }
