For anyone else grappling with this problem - I couldn't find a ready made
solution to this so unfortunately I've had to write a simple date parsing
function.
Very basic at the moment - but will expand as needed:
// Parse a string and return a date object.
// If invalid data passed then current date is returned.
function parseDate(string:String,format:String):Date{
var myDate:Date = new Date();
var day:Number;
var month:Number;
var year:Number;
var aDate:Array;
switch(format){
case "dd/mm/yy":
aDate = string.split('/');
if(aDate.length >= 3) { //We have enough to create a valid date
year = parseInt(aDate[2],10);
if(year < 30) year += 2000; //If below 30 assume 2000's
else if(year <100) year += 1900; //or below 100 assume
1900's
month = parseInt(aDate[1],10)-1; //Month is done from 0
to 11
day = parseInt(aDate[0],10);
myDate.setFullYear(year,month,day);
}
break;
}
return myDate;
}
Does anyone know of a good flash function library (similar to cflib.org) or
projects developing good function libraries?
Cheers,
Mark
