    use date1.getTime() - date2.getTime() to get the difference in milliseconds and then convert to difference in months, days, hours etc

    you realise that months are 0-indexed? new Date(2012, 5, 8) is the 8th of June not the 8th of May right?

     

    that means new Date(2012, 5, 31) is the same date as new Date(2012, 6, 1) since June only has 30 days, the Date object wraps the 31st of June round to the 1st of July

    Try to use the following code.... This code is worked for me.

     

     

    var today:Date = new Date(2012,05,08);
    var target:Date = new Date(2012,05,01);
    var milliseconds:Number;
    if(today > target)
    {
    milliseconds = today.getTime() - target.getTime();
    }
    else
    {
    milliseconds = target.getTime() - today.getTime();
    }
    trace(milliseconds);

    if(milliseconds > 0)
    {
    var seconds:Number = milliseconds / 1000;
    var minutes:Number = seconds / 60;
    var hours:Number = minutes / 60;
    var days:Number = Math.floor(hours / 24);

    trace("days left: "+days);

    if(days == 0)
    {
      trace("its today");
    }
    else
    {
      trace("not in the future"); 
    }
    }
