I had the same thing just a few weeks ago. Note here that I'm already
passing the date back 0-based and not passing the time, but this will
essentially do what you want.
private function parseDates(data:String):Date {
// Get an array of Strings from the comma-separated String
passed in.
var a:Array = data.split("-");
// Create the new Date object. Note that the month argument is
0-based (with 0 being January).
var newDate:Date = new Date(a[0],a[1],a[2]);
return newDate;
}
Enjoy.

Subject: [flexcoders] Convert String to Date?
Gosh, I cant believe I am asking this question. But, other than parsing
the string I cannot see anyway to obviously convert my string to a date
format. My string is returned from a SQL query and passed to my app via
XML.
So my string is in the format: YYY-MM-DD HH:M:SS. This is a standard
SQL format. So why can I not easily convert that in to a date format in
flex?
I have looked at the Date and DateField classes but no help there.
DateField.stringToDate for instance only accepts date formats (no time).
Date for instance wants a date in the format (as follows) ...
var date:Date = new Date("Mon May 1 2006 11:30:00 AM");
Hmmm - what a pain! Any one have a solution?
TIA
Mark
