Hey everyone!

Does anyone know of any good Date class for as3? A class that for example has a function that could return the name of the weekday out of a date (XXXX-XX-XX).  
As for example, i send a date ( : Date) into the function and it returns the String “Monday”.Do you know any class out there that could do that or do you have any example of how i could do this?  
And it has to know if its a leap year etc. Please, any help is very appreciated!
