node.save

I had a very tough time finding what arguments were required by node.save... I finally guessed that a new node needed a "created" timestamp argument. Where should I post the following?

For new node creation be sure to set the creation time of the node:

var my_date:Date = new Date();
nodeObject.created = my_date.getTime();

and for editing existing nodes, be sure to set the changed time of the node:

var my_date:Date = new Date();
nodeObject.changed = my_date.getTime()

drupal 6 will complain if these arguments are not supplied. I used a simple if statement to handle both:

     public function nodeSave():void{

       var nodeObject:Object = new Object();
       var my_date:Date = new Date();
       nodeObject.type = "page";
        nodeObject.nid = nid.text; // set to zero to create new node
        nodeObject.title = title.text;
       nodeObject.body = body.text;      
        if (nodeObject.nid == 0) {
         nodeObject.created = my_date.getTime();
        } else {
          nodeObject.changed = my_date.getTime();
        }
       
        node.save(nodeObject);

      }

If the NID is 0, then a new node will be created. Hope this helps, I didn't know where else to post this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Casey

I am having a hard time saving a node because of nodeObject.created field, i am using D6 and Flex 3 AMFPHP
public function saveNode():void{

var my_date:Date = new Date();
 var nodeObject:Object = new Object();
nodeObject.type = "offencesheet";
 nodeObject.nid = 0; // set to zero to create new node
 if (nodeObject.nid == 0) {
 nodeObject.created = my_date.getTime();
 } else {
 nodeObject.changed = my_date.getTime();
 }
 nodeObject.title = field_formnumber.text;
 nodeObject.body = field_formnumber.text;
 nodeObject.field_address= [{value:field_address.text}];

node.save(nodeObject);

when is used the node.submit there was an error message saying node.submit does not exist

How do we rattle this?
