Maybe there's something simpler, but here are two date functions (public
static functions I have in a date utility class) that I use all the time
(and would work for your case):
function dateFromString(s:String):Date {
var yr:Number = Number(s.substr(0, 4));
var m:Number = Number(s.substr(5, 2))-1;
var d:Number = Number(s.substr(8, 2));
return new Date(yr, m, d);
}
function datesSame(d1:Date, d2:Date):Boolean {
return (d1.getYear() == d2.getYear() &&
d1.getMonth() == d2.getMonth() &&
d1.getDate() == d2.getDate());
}
//Usage for your date check:
trace(datesSame(new Date(), dateFromString('2006-05-02')));

you ca try comparing elements of it such as getDate() and getMonth()

of the whole thing
var today=new Date();
trace(today.getMonth());

Is there a simple way to check if an instance of a date function is
today.
Ie
var foo = new Date();
trace(foo);
var bar = new Date(2006, 04, 02);
trace(bar)
trace(foo == bar);
Obviously that returns false as the time is incorrect.
There must be a simple way ?
