Hi Hemadri, Thanks for that pointer. Seems to be what I've been looking for.
How about integrating this functionality into the DateFormat class ... for me this seems to be the most natural place to have it?

Chris, You can also use the static methods of mx.controls.DateField Class. Below are the signatures of the static methods DateField.dateToString(value:Date, outputFormat:String):String DateField.stringToDate(valueString:String, inputFormat:String):Date Example: var dob:Date = DateField.stringToDate("02/01/2014", "MM/DD/YYYY"); It can contain "M","D","Y", and delimiter and punctuation characters -- Hemadri <http://hemadri.com> On Sat, Feb 1, 2014 at 7:17 PM, Christofer Dutz <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > I am currently sort of stuck with implementing some functionality. > > I know I can use a DateFormatter to define a formatted string from a > given date, but I couldn't actually find something for the other way around. > The Java equivalent usually has a "parse" and a "format" method > allowing to read a date from a string and to return a date and a > format to serialize a date to a desired output format.
