title: How can I convert a birthday string into age in actionscript3?
body: <p>For example if I was given the string "01/01/1980". How could I then get the current date, then figure out how old someone is, and then just return how many years old they are?</p>
  
  <p>I saw a topic on this in C++ but i'm not to familiar with it, anyone know how this would be done in AS3?</p>
  
  <p>edit: I think what i'm having the hardest time with is how I would break down the original brithday string i'm starting with into month, day, year vars</p>
