Yes, but what Matt and Gordon are saying is if you're going to create a date like this (adjust, instead of construct all at once), you may run into a leap year issue.
var dtTest:Date = new Date - dtTest.toDateString()=Tue Jul 29 2008 dtTest.fullYear = 1987 - dtTest.toDateString()=Wed Jul 29 1987 dtTest.month = 1 - dtTest.toDateString()=Sun Mar 1 1987 - Here's where the month rolled because there is no Feb 29th in 1987. dtTest.date = 3 - dtTest.toDateString()=Tue Mar 3 1987 -TH --- In [email protected], "aceoohay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What you have shown is that if you use invalid data (February 29th > of a non leap year) you get bad results.
