RE: [flexcoders] date.getUTCMonth / date.getUTCDate with a leading zero

[Michael Herron]

Look up the dateFormatter class (mx.formatters.DateFormatter). In your format function, create an instance of it and supply it with the format string “DD\MM\YYYY” and that should give you what you want.   Ta.     From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Reto M. Kiefer Sent: 01 August 2005 09:22 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] date.getUTCMonth / date.getUTCDate with a leading zero   Dear all, maybe I am simply do not see the crucial point but I have a small problem. In a form the users can enter some dates via       <mx:DateField id="compBop" dateFormatter="formatDate" /> The corresponding formatDate() looks like this one: function formatDate(date:Date):String { return (date.getUTCDate() + 1) + "-" + ( date.getUTCMonth() + 1 ) + "-" + date.getUTCFullYear(); } This works quite good, but I want have a leading 0 if the Day or the month conists of only on digit, e.g. 02 instead of 2 for february. I searched all the variants of date.UTC....() but did not saw an option for this. I assume there is one because you can have the year displayes with 4 or 2 digits... Maybe some is so helpful and can provide me with the proper function call or a workaround if there is no such a call.
