Hi, Misael.
When you define a labelFunction for the DateField component to
format date for output you must also define parseFunction. Inverse
function to labelFunction.
For example:
private var dateField : DateField = new DateField();
dateField.labelFunction = myLabelFunction;
dateField.parseFunction = myParseFunction;
private function myLabelFunction( date : Date ) : String {
var df : DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
df.formatString = "DD/MM/YYYY";
return df.format( date );
}
public function myParseFunction( inputString : String,
formatString : String = "DD/MM/YYYY") : Date {
if (inputString == "") {
return null;
}
var year : Number = Number(inputString.substr(6,4));
var month : Number = Number(inputString.substr(3,2)) - 1;
var day : Number = Number(inputString.substr(0,2));
var date : Date = new Date(year,month,day);
return date;
}

want to show it like "DD/MM/YYYY". I´m trying to use this function
with a call in the change="formatNasc(DateField
(event.target).selectedDate)" event, but it still displays
in "MM/DD/YYYY" format.
