date object

[danleroux]

Hi
I have a code to generate a calendar. My logic works fine for any dates past jan 1 1970. Any year before that it gives the calendar from the prior month. Anyone know of anything it might be other then my code?
Thanks

Might have something to do with the fact that some computers don't like working with times before they existed ???

The actionscript date object stores dates as a number of milliseconds from 01/01/1970. If the date represented is before that date, the number it stores should simply be a negative number.

I don't know whether that might shed any light on what's going wrong??
