flash actionscript: There's probably an elegant solution to this, but... can anyone provide
pointers on the best way to display a date that's for example, 2 days ago...or
exactly one month from today's date? It seems like this should be relatively
straightforward, but I'm concerned with when new months/years intervene...and
making sure all the possibilities are covered. Thoughts would be greatly
appreciated! - BillG

You can construct a Date object from the current date, get the milliseconds of
it (Date.UTC I think), then add or substract the milliseconds of the timespan
you need (1 day = 24*60*60*1000 ms), and get another Date object from the
resulting value. This should get you the right date, taking the different month
length and even leap years into account.
