Parsing a formatted date string to a date object

is possible parse date string date object formatted date formatter. don't want write own parser.


var df:dateformatter = new dateformatter();
df.formatstring ="dd.mm.yyyy";
var mycurrentdate:date = new date();
mycurrentdatestring:string = df.format(mycurrentdate); // e.g "17.02.2009"

var mynewdate:date = xxx.xxx(mycurrentdatestring);

some ideas xxx.xxx?

i hope there simple
mynewdate:date = df.parse(mycurrentdatestring);

date.parse() seems parse non-formatted date string.
