I am not sure if it is only me. I have try this serveral times with date field component.

Here is my code:

```
&lt;mx:Script&gt;
	&lt;![CDATA[
		private function init():void
		{
			text1.text = dateField.selectedDate.fullYear
			 + "/" + dateField.selectedDate.month + "/" + dateField.selectedDate.date;
		}
	]]&gt;
&lt;/mx:Script&gt;

&lt;mx:Text id="text1" /&gt;

&lt;mx:DateField id="dateField" close="init();" formatString="YYYY/MM/DD"/&gt;

```

after the date field closed, the text show the right YEAR and DATE, but not the right MONTH. If I choose January, the MONTH will actually becomes to ZERO.

Please, could anyone tell me why!

Thank you so much.

Have a good festive season.
