That would imply a bug elsewhere DateField. The pattern all components should be using is to define an interface for a class of beads, maybe something like IDateFormatBead. Then the code, usually in addedToParent() should use getBeadByType() to see if there is an IDateFormatBead and only if there isn't should it go see if there is a default in CSS. I noticed that there was a commit that changed the default date format away from US format. How did we manage the default format in regular Flex? -Alex
