Server-Side ActionScript Language Reference

Server-side ActionScript is a scripting language on the server that lets you develop efficient and flexible client-server Macromedia Flash Media Server applications. For example, you can use server-side ActionScript to control log-in procedures, control events in connected Macromedia Flash applications, determine what users see in their Flash applications, and communicate with other servers. You can also use server-side scripting to allow and disallow users access to various server-side application resources and to allow users to update and share information.

Server-side ActionScript is based on the ECMA-262 specification (ECMAScript 1.5), which is derived from JavaScript and lets you access the core JavaScript server object model. Server-side ActionScript provides global methods and classes and exposes a rich object model for developing media applications. You can also create classes, properties, and methods. This dictionary provides detailed information about the classes and their properties, methods, and events.

Client-side ActionScript is based on the ECMA-262 specification but deviates from the specification in several places. Server-side ActionScript does not deviate from the ECMA-262 specification. For information about the relationship between server-side ActionScript and client-side ActionScript, see Developing Media Applications.

The official documentation of FMS 2 says in a title "The following table lists all the classes in the Server-Side ActionScript Language Reference.", meanwhile classes such as Date, String and Array - basic ones, aren't documented in there but they are accessible server-side. Should i suppose they work 100% exactly as client-side ones?
Thanks in advance.

Use these docs for the classes that are unique to Flash Media Server. For the core JavaScript classes (Date, Array, and so on), use the Core JavaScript 1.5 documentation: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide. -Jody
