RE: [flexcoders] AS3 Date month starting at 0?

[Gordon Smith]

Sure, it's perfectly happy to coerce a string like "2006" to the number 2006. But if you pass 2006 it wouldn't have to coerce anything.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Peter Hall Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 1:01 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] AS3 Date month starting at 0?   Gordon, >From what I can tell, Date is perfectly happy to take a string in its constructor.

Dunno what's going on with the GMT. That looks weird. BTW, you should be passing numbers, not strings, to the Date constructor. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Sönke Rohde Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 2:08 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] AS3 Date month starting at 0? Hi, Using the AS3-Date-Class the first time I recognized that the month is starting at 0 means 0 is January. Is this the expected behaviour? Example: var d:Date = new Date("2006","03","22"); trace("date " + d); // date Sat Apr 22 00:00:00 GMT+0200 2006 And another date I tried has a different GMT: var d:Date = new Date("2006","10","18"); trace("date " + d); // date Sat Nov 18 00:00:00 GMT+0100 2006 Is this a known issue/bug or am I doing something wrong?
