Description

After upgrade from Flex 4.7 to 4.10 mx:DateField controls are not displaying correctly.

Usage:<mx:DateField id="startDate" formatString="YYYY-MM-DD"/>

When date icon is clicked the resultant calendar has two 'null' values in the header. Clicking on a date gives the following stack trace:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
