you can use formatdate() function made in following example format date way want it:

package  {     import flash.display.sprite;     import flash.events.event;      public class main extends sprite      {         public function main():void          {             if (stage) init();             else addeventlistener(event.added_to_stage, init);          }// end function          private function init(e:event = null):void          {             removeeventlistener(event.added_to_stage, init);              var date:date = new date();              trace(formatdate(date)); // output: june-02-2011          }// end function          private function formatdate(date:date):string         {             var month:string, datestring:string, year:string;              var months:array = ["january", "february", "march", "april", "may", "june", "july", "august", "september", "october", "november", "december"];              month = months[date.getmonth() - 1]              datestring = (date.getdate() < 10) ? "0" + date.getdate().tostring() : date.getdate().tostring();              year = date.getfullyear().tostring();              return month + "-" + datestring + "-" + year;           }// end function      }// end class  }// end package
