var startDS:String = "10022008";

var sDate:Date=DateField.stringToDate(startDS,"MMDDYYYY");

Alert.show(sDate+"--===--"+startDS);

You might also need to have a glance at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=formatters_4.html

output will be, "Thu Oct 2 00:00:00 GMT+0530 2008--===--10022008"
