I think there are other posts on the internet about using a String instead
of Date/DateTime.

IMO, a Date is a point in time in UTC that you "want" to have converted to
local time for the viewer.  But if you want someone in another timezone to
see what you are seeing in some reference timezone, then you don't want
the the Date to be converted.  I think even the default Java libraries
have this same behavior, but the Java ecosystem has a richer Date library
that controls conversion for these kinds of scenarios.  I think a similar
library needs to be written for Flex.  Not sure if someone has already
done it.  But short of that, using a String should work in many cases.
