[flexcoders] DateField cellRenderer not working with date as String

[John Buhl]

The DateField cellRenderer works great when your date is already a Date object.  However, since I am dynamically reading in an XML file the date field comes across as text, so I'm trying to cast it into a Date object before using the cellRenderer component.  But it just won't work.  Has anyone run into this problem yet?

 
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Active Date" labelFunction="myLabelFunction" width="100">      <mx:itemEditor>        <mx:Component>           <mx:DateField editable="false" selectedDate="{new Date(
Date.parse(data.MyActiveDate))}" />          </mx:Component>       </mx:itemEditor></mx:DataGridColumn>
