Yes, that does appear to be a bug. A simple workaround is to use a selectableRange:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical" initialize="onInit()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Bindable] private var selectableRange:Object = new Object(); private function onInit():void { var currentDate:Date = new Date(); selectableRange = {rangeStart:currentDate, rangeEnd:new Date(currentDate.getFullYear(),11,31)}; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:DateField selectableRange="{selectableRange}"/> </mx:Application> --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "flexcoder2008" <djohnso...@...> wrote: > > Thanks valdhor, > > I tried your example and yes it works...very strange. > > I noticed another person had a similar issue to me at this post: > http://forums.adobe.com/message/1052372; > > The thing is, I was working with 2 datefields trying to do some date math to ensure restricted values for a start and end date.

The issue seems to be when you set the minYear and maxYear to the same value. In this case the maxYear value works but the minYear doesn't. Try it with your example, make both values {year} and you will see that you can keep navigating back before the minimum year. > > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "valdhor" valdhorlists@ wrote: > > > > 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. > > > > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "flexcoder2008" <djohnson29@> > > wrote: > > > > > > I have a DateField and if I set the minYear or the maxYear property to > > a value directly, everything works great. > > > > > > eg. > > > > > > <mx:Datefield maxYear="2009" minYear="2000"/> > > > > > > But if I want to use a calculated value in there, it doesn't work.
