And what would the best way of converting the return string for flash to use? I was thinking something along the lines of <data date="2008,08,26" time="12,0,0" /> and using something like var sDate:String = node.attributes.date; var sTime:String = node.attributes.time; var arDate:Array = sDate.split(","); var nYear:Number = Number(arDate[0]); var nMonth:Number = Number(arDate[1]-1); // months start at 0 var nDate:Number = Number(arDate[2]); var arTime:Array = sTime.split(","); var nTimeHours:Number = Number(arTime[0]); var nTimeMinutes:Number = Number(arTime[1]); var nTimeSeconds:Number = Number(arTime[2]); var targetDate:Date = new Date(nYear, nMonth, nDate, nTimeHours, nTimeMinutes, nTimeSeconds); _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
