Flex DateTimeAxis: Displaying dates in another timezone (neither local nor UTC)

Question

Hi, I'm working with an AreaSeries + DateTimeAxis in Flex 4. The dates for the time axis originate from a server in another time zone. I'd like to see the graph (in my local time zone) displayed using the server's time zone.

I know that I can set the DateTimeAxis.displayLocalTime property to true or false, to have dates displayed in the local or UTC time zone. But the time zone I want is neither of those.

Is there a simple way to make DateTimeAxis work with another time zone? Or even a complicated way?

Thanks for any info. I have searched SO and other sites without finding anything.

I am not sure about the exact right solution to this problem but I can suggest a workaround for this - Pass the date as string arguments from flex-to-java-to-flex.
