Hi Ben (MrB),
Looks like you're going to have to do a little trickery. Binding the
formatString doesn't seem to change the date formats. However, if you
re-instantiate the DateFormatter it works:
[Bindable] private var myDate:Date = new Date();
[Bindable] private var formatString:String = "YYYY-MM-DD";
private function changeFormat():void
{
df = new DateFormatter();
formatString = "MM/DD/YYYY";
}
<mx:DateFormatter id="df" formatString="{ formatString }"/>
<mx:Text text="{ df.format(myDate) }"/>
