Get Date Object without TimeZone

[Madan Narra]

Hi All,

Is it possible to create a Date object without holding the TimeZone ?

The date object should just be "Thu Nov 19 00:00:00 2009 " instead of "Thu Nov 19 00:00:00 GMT-0500 2009 " just ignoring the time zone

Any ideas how to implement this.

Explaining a bit more on the question I raised earlier.

We have an issue in a custom component, The issue is being caused only in TimeZones which are effected by the Day Light Savings.

As we are aware, that day light savings changed from this Sun ,November 1st 2009, only than we are aware of this.

Below is sample test written FYI,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:local="*">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;
           
            private function test():void {
                var date1:Date = new Date(2009,10,1,0);
                var date2:Date = new Date(2009,10,1,1);
                Alert.show("Date 1 :: "+date1+"   Date 2 :: "+date2);
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Button click="test()" label="Test"/>
</mx:Application>

When created a Date object for 00:00 and 01:00 hours on 1st Nov, these are the results appeared
Date 1 :: Sun Nov 1 00:00:00 GMT-0400 2009  
Date 2 :: Sun Nov 1 01:00:00 GMT-0500 2009

As observed, at Nov 1 00:00 the GMT is -0400 and at Nov 1 01:00 the GMT is -0500. This is causing a bit of unknown errors in the component.

So the question, is there a way to Ignore the local timezone and just make use of Date object.

PS: I tried converting the local time to UTC. This didn't work out.

hi,

Use DateFormatter to get the Date in the format you want

example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

<mx:DateFormatter id="formatDateTime" formatString="EEE MMM DD
L:NN:SS YYY" />
<mx:Label text="{formatDateTime.format(new Date()) }"/>
</mx:Application>

using dataFormatter in flex

As I said earlier, Am expecting a DATE object without TimeZone. Formatting a Date Object returns me a String !!

Also, I tried Converting the Date to UTC or using the UTC methods available. They didnt help me out.

Hi Madan,

Below method might be useful for you.

public static function getDateWithoutTime(date:Date):Date{
var dateFeild:DateField = new DateField();
dateFeild.selectedDate = date;
return dateFeild.selectedDate;
}

This method will return the date without time
