Works fine here using "2008/11/02" as the starting date, but that's probably because winter time kicks in on a different date here (which I don't know). Summer time kicks in on "2008/03/30" so I tried that instead.
Notice that the new date has 1 hour added. I guess when using the winter time it would subtract 1 hour, resulting in the same date as the original. // tested var ms:Number = 24*60*60*1000; var d:String = "2008/03/30"; var newDate:Date = new Date(Date.parse(d)+ms); trace(new Date(Date.parse(d))); trace(newDate); //output Sun Mar 30 00:00:00 GMT+0100 2008 Mon Mar 31 01:00:00 GMT+0200 2008 Gotta luv date manipulations.. fun fun.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Lowder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 1:56 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: What is the best way to add a day to a date? It's not that simple, because of Daylight Savings Time. Try the following on a machine with the timezone set to something that follows DST: var ms:Number = 24*60*60*1000; var d:String = "2008/11/02"; var newDate:Date = new Date(Date.parse(d)+ms); You'll get the same day, 2008/11/02, because Nov 2 2008 will be a 25- hour day in some locations due to the clocks being set back. You'd need to convert to UTC before doing the math, or check the timezone of the dates with getTimezoneOffset() and adjust accordingly if needed. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
