invalid date format in the Photos search method

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In Photos.as:

In function  search() when it invokes MethodGroupHelper, the min_taken_date
and max_taken_date parameters should be in mysql datetime format, not
milliseconds as stated in the Flickr API docs. I had to tweak them to make
this work. 

A sample fix might look something like this:
=======================================================

var new_min_taken_date:String;
var new_max_taken_date:String;

if( min_taken_date != null )
{
    var _date:String  = min_taken_date.date.toString();
    var _month:String = String( min_taken_date.month + 1 );
    var _year:String  = min_taken_date.fullYear.toString();

    _date =  ( _date.length == 1 )  ? "0" + _date  : _date;
    _month = ( _month.length == 1 ) ? "0" + _month : _date;

    new_min_taken_date = _year + "-" + _month + "-" + _date + "
00:00:00";
}
if( max_taken_date != null )
{
    var _date:String  = max_taken_date.date.toString();
    var _month:String = String( max_taken_date.month + 1 );
    var _year:String  = max_taken_date.fullYear.toString();

    _date =  ( _date.length == 1 )  ? "0" + _date  : _date;
    _month = ( _month.length == 1 ) ? "0" + _month : _date;

    new_max_taken_date = _year + "-" + _month + "-" + _date + "
00:00:00";
}

And then replace the 2 lines in the invokeMethod call...

new NameValuePair( "min_taken_date", min_taken_date == null ? "" :
new_min_taken_date ),
new NameValuePair( "max_taken_date", max_taken_date == null ? "" :
new_max_taken_date ),

At some stage, the Flickr API documentation was updated and confirms that these 
dates
should be in MySQL DATETIME format.

Darren: Let me know if you're still intending to check in a fix for this issue. 
I'm
going through the as3flickrlib trying to clear up outstanding issues and any API
incompatibilities, and am happy to pick this up if you're too busy.

I ran into this issue and fixed it myself before seeing this!

I'm not sure if DateFormatter's were in Flex back in 2006, but I did the 
following

In the constructor I did this:
dateFmt = new DateFormatter();
dateFmt.formatString = "YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00";       

Then, when it comes time to pass in the min and max dates, I did the following
dateFmt.format(min_taken_date)

I don't have access to the respository but if anyone does and sees this they 
can 
post it if they like!
dateFmt.format(max_taken_date)
