The month parameter takes values between 0 and 11, so: new Date( 2007, 12, 25 ) = Fri Jan 25 00:00:00 GMT-0600 2008 new Date( 2007, 11, 25 ) = Tue Dec 25 00:00:00 GMT-0600 2007 Regards, -Keith http://keithreinfeld.home.comcast.net -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:flashcoders- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Winterhalder Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2007 7:56 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Calculate how many days until date On 9/5/07, Paul Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Mark - that is fantastically helpful!!

[Flashcoders] Calculate how many days until date
I need to calculate how many days there are until a specified date in the future. Is there any built in functionality to do this, or if not, can anyone point me in the right direction. I would imagine it is difficult to do manually as it would need to take account of leap years etc. Thanks Paul ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
