Using getTime() isn't ideal since that's creating a timestamp based on milliseconds, which would be unique. The first option is probably the safer bet to be able to index things by a specific date (as opposed to a time). If you're using AS3, then I'd say use a Dictionary object (same as a hash, except you're not using a generic Object).

You should, instead, make a hash and the keys would be the date, and the values would be an array of appointments for that date. events = {}; events[month + "/" + day + "/" + year] = []; events[month + "/" + day + "/" + year].push(appointment); Then each day of the calendar would just do a look up of itself in the hash. events[calendarDate]; You could also store the key as a new Date().getTime() instead of a string with month/day/year. It's entirely up to you. HTH!
