Disable future dates in mx:DateField

Question

I'm using DateField for the birth input. How to not allow users to select a future date, the dates after today, in the DateField?

Answer 1

I had the need to disabled ranges beyond the current date.
Here is how I solutioned it:
                                <mx:DateField id="dfStartDate"
                                    name="Start Date"
                                    styleName="dateField"
                                    disabledRanges="{[getNextDayDate(),{rangeStart: getNextDayDate()}]}" />
                                <mx:DateField id="dfEndDate"
                                    name="End Date"
                                    styleName="dateField"
                                    disabledRanges="{[getNextDayDate(),{rangeStart: getNextDayDate()}]}" />
            private function getTomorrowDate():Date {
                var myDate:Date = new Date()
                myDate.date += 1; //increment date to tomorrow, so we can disable it in the picker controls
                return myDate;
