I just looked at DateField.stringToDate().

It looks like it only supports "M", "D" and "Y". That means it does not support 
weekdays or any time formatters.

I guess I'm going to have to roll my own function�


parsing dates is another kind of "hell" i18n developers can fall into. if this is coming from a server might be easiest to use java (icu4j) to do the parsing & pass java epoch offsets back to the flex app to format based on user locale. letting folks enter dates arbitrarily is a tough nut to crack after the fact, especially lacking info about that user's locale.

btw wasn't there a discussion here last year about this?
