I am working with flex 3.0  
I seem to be getting an issue i cant understand.

I put a datefield in my application and make it editable. If i enter the string 12/12/ in the datefield, the year 1900 is getting appended to the text i.e 12/12/1900.  
But if i put 02/12/ , there isnt any appending happening.For all months, for dates between 1 to 12,appending seems to be happening but for 13th onwards there isnt any.

1. Can anyone tell me the reason or logic behind this?
2. Can i change this year getting appended to current year??

All help would be highly appreciated… 🙂
