Date help

[qster]

Hi,

Does any have or know the code to pull information (dates) from a textbox into another textbox for formatting.

What I want to do is take startDate and add 30 Days to that date once I hit a button to calculate the 30 days beyond a date.

Thank you.

You can do something like this:

// AS2
var date1:Date = new Date(2006, 9, 24);
trace("date1: "+date1);
var date2:Date = date1;
date2.setDate(date2.getDate()+30);
trace("date2: "+date2);

Output:
date1: Tue Oct 24 00:00:00 GMT+0100 2006
date2: Thu Nov 23 00:00:00 GMT+0000 2006

I set "date1" as today, then added 30 days to "date1" to create "date2". Please note the European Summer Time (Daylight Saving Time) is about to finish this weekend here in the UK, "date2" correctly shows GMT+0000 - back to "normal", winter time (sad...)
