title: Flex Date issue with Timezone
body: <p>We have a search utility that needs to search by date:</p>
  
  <p>So I type in a date "04-20-1982" in the search field. In the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Alert.show("string date::"+message.searchKeyword);
  
  dateOfBirth = DateField.stringToDate(message.searchKeyword,"MM-DD-YYYY");
  
  Alert.show("date::"+dateOfBirth);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The first alert prints as string date::04-20-1982</p>
  
  <p>The second alert prints as date::Tue Apr 20 00:00:00 GMT-0400 1982</p>
  
  <p>The issue is our timezone is EST and since it changes it as GMT -400, it takes the time as Mon Apr 19 23:00:00 EST 1982 and does not return any results. The actual DOB in the DB is Apr 20 1982. </p>
  
  <p>So please let me know how to avoid this conversion to GMT -400 Timezone and just send it as a date without any timezone.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
