POFlash Date.getTime bug?

Body
copied!<p>I'm hitting a wall on this one. My script finds the difference in hours between 2 dates, however..</p> <pre><code>var data:Array = ["2011-08-30 11:19:19", "01-09-2011 02"]; var aDate:String = data[0].split(" ")[0]; var dateElements:Array = aDate.split("-"); var date1:Date = new Date(); date1.setDate(int(dateElements[2])); date1.setMonth(int(dateElements[1])-1); date1.setFullYear(int(dateElements[0])); date1.setHours(int(data[0].split(" ")[1].split(":")[0])); trace("date: " + date1.getDate()); trace("month: " + date1.getMonth()); trace("year: " + date1.getFullYear()); trace("hours: " + date1.getHours()); dateElements = data[1].split(" ")[0].split("-"); var date2:Date = new Date(); date2.setDate(int(dateElements[0])); date2.setMonth(int(dateElements[1])-1); date2.setFullYear(int(dateElements[2])); date2.setHours(int(data[1].split(" ")[1])); trace("__"); trace("date: " + date2.getDate()); trace("month: " + date2.getMonth()); trace("year: " + date2.getFullYear()); trace("hours: " + date2.getHours()); trace("__"); var elapse:Number = date2.getTime() - date1.getTime(); trace(Math.floor(elapse / 3600000)); </code></pre> <p>As you can see, the date elements trace out the way they should. Now try changing the first element of the data array to "2011-08-31 11:19:19". Although the date elements are fine, the last trace gives a totally weird value. What's even weirder is that when compiling this script a second time in Flash IDE, it takes a long time to compile, then traces nothing at all, as if the script times out.</p> <p>What's happening here?</p>
