Question

I’ve got a php backend which delivers a time (e.g. ’07:00:00′).
This time is recognized as a string but I need it as a Date.

So what I need is:
Convert a string ’07:00:00′ to a Flex Date object.

Is there a way to do this (without using regular expressions)?

Answer 1

• String.split(“:”) -> array of “07”,
  “00”, “00”
• parseInt on each part
• create date object and use setHours,
  setMinutes and setSeconds methods.

Don’t forget that newly created Date object presents current date.
