I cannot find any way to clear a DateField control programmatically after either a user has selected a date, or after I set myDateField.selectedDate via code.

Documentation only states how to clear it if a user selects the date again.

But doing myDateField.selectedDate = myDateField.selectedDate doesn’t work

I have tried all the obvious, myDateField.selectedDate = null, myDateField.text = '' – but nothing seems to be doing the trick.

Does anyone have any ideas?

  1. I made a minimal test example:

      <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx='http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml' layout='horizontal'>     <mx:Script>         <![CDATA[         private function clearDate():void   {             testField.selectedDate = null;         }         ]]>     </mx:Script>     <mx:DateField id='testField'/>     <mx:Button label='Clear' click='clearDate();'/> </mx:Application>

    and it seems to work fine. Are you sure there isn’t some baffling bug in your code?

    (This is with FB 3.2 here, by the way, in case it is a version issue.)
