Problem formatting date labels with DateTimeAxis and parseFunction

Question

I'm working with a line chart that gets its data from a MySQL
database and
I'm using a DateTimeAxis to try to display the date on the
x-axis. The date
is formatted in the database as "YYYY-MM-DD" - however when I
run the
application I am only seeing the date displayed as MM/YY. I
am using a
parseFunction as follows:
public function myParseFunction(s:String):Date {
var a:Array = s.split("-");
var newDate:Date = new Date(a[0],a[1]-1,a[2]);
return newDate;
I was trying to experiment with setting dataUnits to days or
weeks but it
doesn't seem to change. Can anyone figure out what I'm doing
wrong?
Thanks,

The code for the line chart is:
<mx:LineChart x="10" id="linechartHist"
dataProvider="{dataProvider1}"
showDataTips="true" width="100%" height="100%" y="10">
<mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:DateTimeAxis displayName="Date" title="Date (Month)"
parseFunction="myParseFunction" dataUnits="days"/>
</mx:horizontalAxis>
<mx:horizontalAxisRenderer>
<mx:AxisRenderer canDropLabels="true"/>
</mx:horizontalAxisRenderer>
<mx:verticalAxis>
<mx:LinearAxis title="Price" id="vAxis"
labelFunction="vLongLabels"
interval="10"/>
</mx:verticalAxis>
<mx:series>
<mx:LineSeries displayName="MSFT" yField="MSFT"
xField="date"/>
<mx:LineSeries displayName="PG" yField="PG"
xField="date"/>
<mx:LineSeries displayName="NTDOY" yField="NTDOY"
xField="date"/>
</mx:series>
</mx:LineChart>
