             Summary: DateValidator class (mx.validators.DateValidator) incorrectly validating date
                 Key: FLEX-33807
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33807
             Project: Apache Flex
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.10.0
         Environment: Windows 7 64bit Professional (SP1) running on MacBook Pro Mid 2010 with OSX 10.8.5 Bootcamp.
FlashBuilder 4.7 Standard
Apache Flex 4.10 
AIR 3.8
Flash Player 11.8
            Reporter: Dylan Randall
             Fix For: Apache Flex 4.9.0


The DateValidator class keeps returning an error on validation although the date being validated is correct according to the format provided.

The date I am using is 19530621

Here is the code snippet 
                var strDate:String = "19530621";
                var result: String = null;
		var resultArray: Array = null;
		var validator:DateValidator = new DateValidator();
		validator.inputFormat="YYYYMMDD";
		
		resultArray = DateValidator.validateDate(validator, strDate, "");
		
		if (resultArray.length == 0)
			result = ""; // no problems
		else
		{
			var vr: ValidationResult = resultArray[0] as ValidationResult;
			result = vr.errorMessage;
		}

The error returned in the result array at position 0 is below

errorCode	"wrongLength"	
errorMessage	"Type the date in the format. YYYYMMDD"	
isError	true	
subField	""	

The same code works as it should (passing validation) on SDK 4.9.

I have tried a number of different dates some incorrect and others correct but the same error is returned everytime.

I hope this is enough information to fix this bug.

Thanks
