Paul, I gave up making sense of the way Flex 2 handles dates from web services almost a year ago and stated passing them as strings. I brought this up many times during the beta and since then and have never seen a good solution for getting Flex to stop mucking with the timezone.
The other big problem with the Date class in AS3 is that it is a reference type and cannot be directly compared using ==. You have to us an external date compare function or compare the individual components of both dates (after checking that neither one is null). I've been using strings for all date related processing in flex for about 9 months and it's been perfect. - Kelly paulwelling wrote: > Hello, > > I have a WS that returns a date.
