And that is actually what I am doing inside my "dateFormat" method. The dayOfWeekAsString is just a direct carryover from ColdFusion's date library. For some reason they break out that functionality there, so I decided to include it here also. I didn't really understand their reasoning behind including it, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to include it in the library for those who didn't want to mess with the dateFormat method directly. Thanks for reading though, and the suggestion. Definitely. And that is actually what I am doing inside my “dateFormat” method.

var dateFormatter:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
