I've encountered this annoying bug today.
When using the formatFunction attribute of DateField, when the component
looses its focus, it erases the date text field.
To reproduce the problem, simply execute the following code from LiveDocs,
select a date and move the focus to the other text input:
<mx:DateFormatter id="dfconv" formatString="YYYY/MM/DD"/>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function formatDate(date:Date):String
{
return dfconv.format(date);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:DateField id="df" formattingFunction="formatDate" />
<mx:TextInput />
There is a simple workaround, but it does not work all the time:
<mx:DateFormatter id="dfconv" formatString="YYYY/MM/DD"/>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function formatDate(date:Date):String
{
return dfconv.format(date);
}
private function onChange():void {
df.text = formatDate(df.selectedDate);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:DateField id="df" change="onChange()" />
<mx:TextInput />
