trace(dtCmplxStartDate.toDateString(0)); will not compile :-) The way I am accessing/manipulating the DateField date is through .selectedDate.
trace(dtCmplxStartDate.selectedDate); does give a valid date e.g. Tue Jul 14 00:00:00 GMT-0600 2009 whether or not the DateField is enabled - which would make it a situation where Flex is suppressing the view. I have just added a test button that disables the DateField component - it removes the displayed date from view! So it is Flex. Interesting - this component was built to always be editable then. Any solutions other than subclassing to a custom component and changing its behaviour?
