FeatureCollection to populate time-aware data not from map service

Question

In the Flex API there is a sample ('Time rendered 5K run (gpx)') that uses a FeatureCollection to populate time-aware data that is not setup with ArcGIS:  http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html#/Time_rendered_5K_run_gpx/01nq0000002r000000/

I'm thinking about an app where the user can add .csv files with dates and have the time slider animate them.  Can this be done with the JS API?  I noticed that the arcgis.com map doesn't do this.

Yes, you can do it. Check out the gpx template on arcgis.com for a working example.
