I have seen this also, I have a server function which sends back to
the client the UNIX time in seconds, and I find that I have to
manually tell the client to do the offset:
var myDate:Date = new Date( unixSecs - (8*60*60*1000) );
since I want the time/date in separate pieces:
a.push(myDate.getMonth());
a.push(myDate.getUTCDate());
a.push(myDate.getUTCFullYear());
b.push(myDate.getUTCHours());
b.push(myDate.getUTCMinutes());
I tried other time methods mentioned in the docs but no luck. This is
in flex2 fyi.
