title: Is there a way to format a String in Flex
body: <p>Is it possible to do something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var s:String = format("%20d %-10s %s", time, type, message);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In languages like C, C++, C#, Python, and Perl there is something similar to my example, but I can't seem to find it for Flex.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to create special class Formatter for every string that I want to format.</p>
