Hi.

This should be easy. How do i format the output from a dataField component? I can format what the user sees on the screen, but not what AS sends to PHP.

Right now this is what i get:

Wed Mar 23 00:00:00 GMT+0100 2005

I´m in spain so i need to change it up quite a bit. The hour is useless, it doesn´t work as u can see. By the way i get this using:

```auto

_root.fechaLlegada.selectedDate;

```

I´ve changed the parameters of my component instance so it´s all in spanish. Works on the screen but not in the output as you can see above.
