Question

Actually in my Flex Application i’m passing Date(in String format) as well as Timezone(String format) convert into Date type but it is not converting Date type … it is giving null value and my

sample code like this…

       var tzDate:String="20012-12-12";
       var tzString:String=tzComboBox.selectedItem;//hear value GMT+0530
       var startDate:Date = DateField.stringToDate(tzDate+" "+tzString,"YYYY-MM-DD TZD");
       Alert.show(startDate);//hear value giving "Null"

The problem is it’s not converting Date format…Plz Help me

Answer 1

use parse function and format date before parsing

var tzDate:String="2012-12-12";
var tzString:String="GMT+0530";

var dateformat:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
dateformat.formatString = "YYYY/MM/DD";

var dateStr:String = dateformat.format(tzDate) +" "+ tzString;
//dateStr is 2012/12/12 GMT+0530
var startDate:Date =  new Date(Date.parse(dateStr));
Alert.show(startDate.toString());
//Show Date of Local time Zone
//Tue Dec 11 21:30:00 GMT+0300 2012
