[flexcoders] Re: DateField - minYear and maxYear - don't work if they contain calculated value?

[valdhor]

I am using SDK 3.3 and this works for me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical">
     <mx:Script>
         <![CDATA[
             [Bindable] private var year:int = new Date().getFullYear();
         ]]>
     </mx:Script>
     <mx:DateField maxYear="{year}" minYear="{year - 9}"/>
</mx:Application>

I can only select a date between Jan 2000 and Dec 2009.
