convert my "String" to AM or PM hour in ActionScript 3

[Stephdidou]

I've got a String variable for my time :

    var $myTime:String;  

//Some calculation  

trace(myTime); 

// Result is : 14:25 (for example)

I'm looking for a way to convert this string ("14:25" in this example) to a simple AM / PM format.

So in this example it would be, for example, 2 PM

Any idea how I can simply do that ?

var myTime:String = "14:25";

function timeToAmPm(time:String):String{

     var tmpArr:Array = time.split(":");

     if(uint(tmpArr[0]) > 12){

          tmpArr[2] = " PM";

     }else{

          tmpArr[2] = " AM";

     }

     return tmpArr.join("");

}

myTime = timeToAmPm(myTime);

Another method:

var t:String = "13:20";
trace(amPm(t));
function amPm(time:String):String
{
var h:String = time.substr(0,2);
var m:String = time.substr(3,2);
var a:String = " AM";
if(parseInt(h) > 12){
a = " PM";
h = String(parseInt(h) - 12);
}
return h + ":" + m + a;
}

That's quite a good there ! Thank you ! The only tiny thing :

If I've got :

$pmm= 05:23

$pms= 17:03

$bmm= 11:19

$bms= 23:40

amPm($pms) is returning 5 PM 

and amPm($pmm) is returning 05 PM 

Why pms doesn't have the 0 before the 5 ?
