RE: [flexcoders] Re: broken: stacked AreaChart when using horizontal DateTimeAxis
The DateTimeAxis uses the built in ECMAScript Date parsing function to
convert strings to dates. So if your dates are in a different format,
you need to provide your own parsing function.

wow, that was totally it. thanks!
I was under the impression that Flex was interpreting my date values
just fine as it rendered appropriate values in my third example, but I
guess we have to be explicit about it.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: broken: stacked AreaChart when using horizontal DateTimeAxis
Just a general note to anyone reading this, remember that months in
ActionScript dates are 0-indexed.
new Date(2007,2,25) is actually March 25th, not February as you would expect.
Here is my parseDate function which converts date strings from -MM-DD
format into a Date object.
public function parseDate(s:String):Date
{
if (!s) return null;
var a:Array = s.split('-');
return new Date(parseInt(a[0]),parseInt(a[1])-1,parseInt(a[2]));
}
Hope that helps someone along the way.
Cheers,
Adam

I was having the same problem and found from the help files I needed
to make sure my dates were coming in as dates, so there's a
parseFunction I needed to add, like this:
mx:horizontalAxis
mx:DateTimeAxis labelUnits=months dataUnits=days
displayLocalTime=true parseFunction=myParseFunction /
/mx:horizontalAxis
//function
public function myParseFunction(s:String):Date {
// Get an array of Strings from the comma-separated String passed in.
var a:Array = s.split(,);
// Create the new Date object.
var newDate:Date = new Date(a[0],a[1],a[2]);
return newDate;
}
Hope it helps

Might be better with a regular expression etc etc here, what happens if you
give it 2007-45-45 or 2007--5-5 :-)
