title: Flex - Clear DateField programmatically
body: <p>I cannot find any way to clear a <code>DateField</code> control programmatically after either a user has selected a date, or after I set <code>myDateField.selectedDate</code> via code.</p>
  
  <p>Documentation only states how to clear it if a user selects the date again.</p>
  
  <p>But doing <code>myDateField.selectedDate = myDateField.selectedDate</code> doesn't work</p>
  
  <p>I have tried all the obvious, <code>myDateField.selectedDate = null</code>, <code>myDateField.text = ""</code> - but nothing seems to be doing the trick.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any ideas?</p>
