---------------------------------------------------------------
Yes the issue is in the stringToDate method as it look through the months to
replace the month name with the month number in these lines:
{code}
for (var i:int = 0; i < noMonths; i++) {
valueString = valueString.replace(monthNames[i],
(i+1).toString());
valueString =
valueString.replace(monthNames[i].substr(0,3), (i+1).toString());
}
{code}
And yes it's because both June and July first 3 letters are "Jui" in French.

> 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
> Assignee: Justin Mclean
> 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
