You should be able to determine minDate and maxDate by calling new Date(Number.MIN_VALUE) and new Date(Number.MAX_VALUE). -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com

Now that you say that it is very obvious. In my attempt to determine the earliest/latest date supported I tried the following but then all the date parts in the object are NaN. public static const MIN_DATE:Date = new Date(-Number.MAX_VALUE); public static const MAX_DATE:Date = new Date(Number.MAX_VALUE); Thanks, Greg ________________________________________________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of valdhor Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 10:12 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Valid Date Ranges in Flex The month ranges from 0 (January) to 11 (December).
