I have a little flash app. that pulls in various dates that are formatted in numerous ways. Before I look at creating a class that will return me a standard way to display the date, has anyone done anything like this before or know where I can download something similar to use or build on ?. To clarify, the following list shows the date formats (there's a few) I am dealing with: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 10:25:40 GMT Wed, 29 Mar 2006 21:00:00 PST Wed, 29 Mar 2006 09:00:00 EST Mar 24, 2006 Mon, 13 Mar 2006 09:00:03 +0000 2006-03-30T03:33:00+00:00 Thu, 30 Mar 2006 05:24:46 -0500 Tue, 28 Mar 2006 18:19:40 EDT Thu, 30 Mar 2006 17:32:00 +1000 Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0800 Actually, now that I think of it, maybe I should compare these dates and the exact time on the users PC so that I can display the time difference between the two, like how digg shows how long ago a story was submitted (e.g: 15 hours, 43 minutes ago). Anyone advise, maybe I'm being lazy and should just dive in.
