---------------------------------------------------------------
A work around is to set the formatString:
{code:xml}
<mx:DateField selectedDate="{new Date()}" formatString="DD MMMM YYYY"/>
{code}
The DateField's function stringToDate interprets the text when opening the
DateChooser (clicking the calendar icon). Since the french locale formats this
text with a 3-letter month, this function no longer knows which month it really
is (June or July).
I still think this is a bug. If I set the selectedDate, it should not analyse
the text but use the selectedDate property. When manually editing the text this
property could then be changed and then I can accept that the DateField does
not know which month I really mean.

> Incorrect date in datefield popup for fr_FR locale

> Key: FLEX-35106
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35106
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mx: DateField
> Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.15.0
> Environment: Windows 7
> Reporter: Peter Marcoen
> Labels: datefield, french, locale
>
> h4. Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Create a new project
> 2. Set the compiler arguments to "-locale fr_FR"
> 3. Add the following line to the main application:
> {code:xml}
> <mx:DateField selectedDate="{new Date(2016, 6, 4, 13)}"/>
> {code}
> 4. Run the application and click on the calendar icon
> h4. Expected result:
> The selected date should be the 4th of JULY, which it is if you set the
> locale to "en_US"
> h4. Actual result:
> The selected date is the 4th of JUNE
> h4. Possible reason:
> Because the abbreviation of june and july is the same in French ("Jui"), the
> popup probably finds the first month who's abbreviated name matches the
> selected abbreviated name and thus incorrectly sets the month to June
