Last time when I tried, this was working for me. It *may* give you an idea.
See the labelFunction...
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="availabilityDate" headerText="Availability
Date" editable="false" labelFunction="formatDate"/>
private function formatDate(item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String {
var dateFormatted:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
dateFormatted.formatString = "DD-MM-YYYY";
var rawDate:Date = new Date(item[column.dataField]);
return dateFormatted.format(rawDate) as String;
}
Thanks.
