11st February?

Question

Hello
I use the following Action Script to obtain the current date
for my movie, but find that it shows the date as 11st February, and
not 11th February:
function getMonthAsString(month:Number):String {
var monthNames_array:Array = new Array("January",
"February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August",
"September", "October", "November", "December");
return monthNames_array[month];
function getDateAsString(day:Number):String {
var retval=day.toString();
var lastchar=retval.substr(-1);
switch (lastchar) {
case "1":retval+="st";
break;
case "2":retval+="nd";
break;
case "3":retval+="rd";
break;
default:
retval+="th"
break;
return retval;
//get the date now
var now:Date = new Date();
//populate the textfield with a formatted date
dateField.text=getDateAsString(now.getDate())+"
"+getMonthAsString(now.getMonth())+" "+now.getFullYear();
Do I need to add to the 'case' statements to correct the
problem I have?
Many thanks for any advice.
Steve

Old Skool Method: (works)
mydate = new date();
time = (mydate.getHours()+":"+myDate.getMinutes());
mymonth = new date();
month = (mymonth.getMonth());
if (month == 1) {
month = "February";
} else if (month == 2) {
month = "March";
} else if (month == 3) {
month = "April";
} else if (month == 4) {
month = "May";
} else if (month == 5) {
month = "June";
} else if (month == 6) {
month = "July";
} else if (month == 7) {
month = "August";
} else if (month == 8) {
month = "September";
} else if (month == 9) {
month = "October";
} else if (month == 10) {
month = "November";
} else if (month == 11) {
month = "December";
} else if (month == 12) {
month = "January";
myyear = new date();
year = myyear.getFullYear();
mynumber = new date();
number = mynumber.getDate();
if (number == 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 or 12 or
13 or 14 or 15 or 16 or 17 or 18 or 19 or 20) {
suffix = "th";
} else if (number == 1 or 21 or 31) {
suffix = "st";
} else if (number == 3 or 23) {
suffix = "rd";
} else if (number == 2 or 22) {
suffix = "nd";
