I tend to do date comparisons using milliseconds more often because I'm usually interested not only in the order of the dates, but in the difference between them as well. The compare() method above could easily be modded to return the difference instead of -1, 0 or 1. Otherwise you're right, ObjectUtil.dateCompare() does exactly the same thing. @eggplant

I used to do what you did for so long until I discovered these built-in functions. They've been in there since at least Flex Beta 3 (the oldest docs I have lying around that I could find). ObjectUtil.dateCompare( date1, date2);

I'm new to flex/actionscript and I didn't understand why comparing dates as Dates wasn't working. Thanks for the posting.
