Question

Programming in Flex 4.5

I’m getting a date as a String.

I don’t know what date or hour I’m getting.

I want to convert the string to date and take only the hours & minutes.

For example:

Getting – “2012-02-07T13:35:46+02:00”

I want to see: 13:35.

Suggestions or any other solutions?

After some digging, Solution:

var myDate:Date;

myDate = DateFormmater.parseDateString(myDateString);

var dateResult:String = myDate.getHours() + ":" + myDate.getMinutes();

Thanks anyway! :-)!

Answer 1

You can to use date.getHours() and date.getMinutes(). Try the following:

var d:Date = DateField.stringToDate("your_date_string","YYYY-MM-DD");
trace("hours: ", date.getHours()); // returns 13
trace("minutes: ", date.getMinutes()); // returns 35
