Ok, wrote a simple solution myself for a string in this format:
"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss"
public function String2Date(doString:String):Date {
var doYear:int = Number(doString.substr(0,4));
var doMonth:int = Number(doString.substr(5,2));
var doDay:int = Number(doString.substr(8,2));
var doHour:int = Number(doString.substr(11,2));
var doMin:int = Number(doString.substr(14,2));
var doSec:int = Number(doString.substr(17,2));
var myDate:Date = new Date(doYear, doMonth, doDay, doHour, doMin, doSec);
return myDate;
}
