I don't know if it's a bug. I think it only happens if you are not using English standart dates (MM/DD/YYYY). To use different type of dates you need set a parsing function here is an example:
//date parse function private function pDate(data:String,inp:String):Date { return mx.controls.DateField.stringToDate(data,"DD.MM.YYYY"); } //date formatter <mx:DateFormatter id="df" formatString="DD.MM.YYYY" /> //inline usage <mx:DateField height="20" formattingFunction="fDate" parsingFunction="pDate" /> it should solve you problem Ulich Dmitriy Termin --- Alberto Albericio Salvador <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I found the same bug some weeks ago.
