@Gareth
Cool thanks Gareth! This is what I ended up doing:

public static function dayInYear2Date(year:int, dayInYear:int):Date
{
return DateUtils.dateAdd( DateUtils.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayInYear
, new Date(year-1, 11/*dec*/, 31));
}

Glad you like it. Very simple to do what you need using the dateAdd method

DateUtils.dateAdd( DateUtils.DAY_OF_MONTH, new Date( 2011, DateUtils.monthAsNumber( DateUtils.DECEMBER ), 31 ), 360 );

This should get you to the 360th day of 2012.

This is pretty cool. Do you have or know of anything that does the opposite? e.g. takes year + day in year and returns a Date object?

toDate(2012,360) would return a Date with the 360th day in 2012

Yup, that should work fine in Actionscript. To do that with the library, you would just use dateAdd.

DateUtils.dateAdd( DateUtils.DAY_OF_MONTH, ( dayOfYearNumber – 1 ), new Date( 2008, DateUtils.monthAsNumber( DateUtils.JANUARY ), 1 ) );

An idea, with VB.NET you can write this :

Dim d As New DateTime(2008, 1, 1) ‘ 1er janvier
d = d.AddDays(numJour – 1)

And it’s work, now it should translate into Action Script.

I don’t think I’ve got that method in the date utils yet, but I will definitely look into adding it. Thanks for the idea.
