I've read through that thread, and this hardly seems like acceptable behaviour to me.
We're sending dates from a .NET web service too, and we don't care about the time. We're plotting them on a calendar. We can't afford to have dates sent as one thing, and then rolled back to the previous day because the client machine is in a different timezone. There *needs* to be a way to turn this off. If my web service says an event occurs on the 1st June, I want Flex to give me the 1st June. What's the point in Flex translating it, and then me having to translate it back (and remember to do this *everywhere*)? -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kellyb723 Sent: 23 June 2006 17:24 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: About dates sent to a webservice. Is this correct? Yes this is correct. I recently had a long thread about this. What I was told by Adobe is that If a web service defined the element-type in WSDL as `dateTime' and sends a value that does not include a time zone component Flex "has to" assume that this is UTC time and will automatically adjust the Date value to your local time zone. You can read my previous thread, including a post by Peter Farland (Adobe) that this behavior is by design, and my workaround at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/39832 - Kelly --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Bas J.
