I have an advanceddatagrid where I inspect some column metadata and
create appropriate formatters.
When my column is a DATE (not a DATE TIME), I attempt to create the
formatter like so:
var fmtDate:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter;
fmtDate.formatString = "DD MMM YYYY";
column.formatter = fmtDate;
When I try to run this I get
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.

I am not sure why parseDateString() is getting called. The field on
the data is of type Date.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
