Doug,
Our java objects need to have dates set to type Calendar. So are you
suggesting that my ActionScript value objects have a setter/getter?
Something like:
class com.beans.WorkGroupVO {
public var workGroupID:String;
public var startDate:Date;
public var endDate:Date;;
static var rc:Boolean = Object.registerClass("com.beans.WorkGroup",
com.beans.WorkGroupVO);
public function CalendarVO() {}
public set startDate( num:Number ):Void {
startDate = new Date(num);
}
public get startDate():Number {
return startDate.getTime();
}
I don't think I quite get your meaning.
Thanks,
Geoff
