In a previous example, “Parsing ISO dates with Flex and ActionScript”, we saw how to parse ISO formatted dates (2008-01-25T06:14:23Z) and convert them into an ActionScript 3.0 Date object.
The following example shows how you can convert a Java formatted date (Wed Jul 22 14:29:30 PST 2009) and convert the timezone into an ActionScript 3.0 friendly format (UTC-0700) so you can use the static Date.parse() method to convert them into an ActionScript 3.0 Date object.

The following example shows how you can determine your Flex SDK version within a Flex application by using the internal mx_internal::VERSION property.
You can also find the version number by doing one of the following:
(a) Viewing the flex-sdk-description.xml file in your Flex SDK’s root directory:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<flex-sdk-description>
<name>Flex 4.0</name>
<version>4.0.0</version>
<build>3934</build>
</flex-sdk-description>
(b) At a command prompt, navigate to your Flex SDK’s /bin/ directory and type mxmlc -version:
C:\\dev\\flexSDKs\\4.0.0.3934\\bin>mxmlc -version
Version 4.0.0 build 3934
