This is not a question, just a little observation that might save other folks a few minutes of gnashing of teeth and hair pulling.
I need some code that will give me the current date in ISO 8601 format, e.g. "2010-08-27". I figured the Date class would be a good place to start, but I was really puzzled by the output I got. This code... var date:Date = new Date; trace( date.fullYearUTC, date.monthUTC, date.dateUTC ); ...prints out this: 2010 7 27 The year and day of the month are correct, but the month is off by one. Huh?? Well, it turns out that monthUTC is the month with *zero* as January. It's documented, but pretty bizarre nonetheless... though it turns out the "tm" structure in C's time.h uses the same convention. -Gerry _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
