Maybe the next solution is the right one: import mx.controls.DateField; -----

var date1 :Date= DateField.stringToDate('2009',"YYYY");	
var date2 :Date= DateField.stringToDate('1990',"YYYY");	
if (date1.getTime() < date2.getTime())

---- First of all, you have to convert correctly string to date; Second, getTime(), Stoimene, not setTime()

Hi Mathew,

if( date1.toString() == date2.toString() ) { } this code is not working…

I have written like the below.. but it always giving date1 and date 2 are equal…

public function compare (event:MouseEvent) : void {

var date1:Date=new Date(“02 AUG 2012”);
var date2:Date=new Date(“01 AUG 2012”);

if(date1.toString()==date2.toString())
{
Alert.show(“date1 is equal to date2”);
}
else if(date1.toString() {
Alert.show("Date1 is less than date2");
}
else
{
Alert.show("Date1 greater than date2");
}
}

if( date1.toString() == date2.toString() ) { } to test equality. Use any other operators to make different comparisons

Hi,

I’m not sure you can achieve this with some built in functionality of Flex. You’d better make a method to do that. It should check for weekends and exclude them, so when you pass two dates it can check the number of week days.

greetings,
