try this. make a calss with some static functions


  public class CommonFunctions
 {

 public function CommonFunctions():void {}
  import mx.formatters.DateFormatter;
  private static var dfconv:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();

  public static function formatDate(date:Date, format:String):String
   {
   dfconv.formatString=format;
return dfconv.format(date);
   }
}


now you can pass in : *CommonFunctions.formatDate(theDate,, MMM. D,
);*
would output : Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2005

see here for more date formats

Hi There,

 Could any one please help me out in implementing globalization of date
 format in Flex 3, when I choose the language as US_English or Spanish or
 French for example

 I have to change the date format on the display to* dd/mm/* or*mm/dd/
 *, etc based on the locale chosen.

 Which approach is better to implement this logic.

 Expecting to get your help soon.

Hi Madhu,
the best thing to do in my opinion is to put your date mask in your resource
bundle and change it to whatever you'd like to use for each locale.

I blog a bit about I18N in flex3 a little while back ..

Hope this helps.
