Flex DateChooser in Japanese Style

How I can change the display of Month and Year display to Japanese style (i.e. Year Month) as in Header of Flex Date Chooser. What I would like to convert the style 8月　2011年　to 2011年　8月.

Flex Date Chooser

Code I used to do that,

dateFrom.dayNames = ['日', '月', '火', '水', '木', '金', '土'];

dateFrom.monthNames = ['１月','２月','３月','４月','５月','６月','７月','８月','９月','10月','１１月','１２月'];

dateFrom.yearSymbol = "年";

where dateFrom is the id of the DateField.

In short, you should change date format in locale settings. When the year preceedes the month, DateChooser shows labels accordingly.

1) Quick patch - set it manually on app start:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
    preinitialize="application1_preinitializeHandler(event)">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            protected function application1_preinitializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                var array:Array = resourceManager.getLocales();
                for each (var locale:String in array)
                {
                    var shared:IResourceBundle = resourceManager.getResourceBundle(locale, "SharedResources");
                    shared.content["dateFormat"] = "YYYY/MM/DD";
                }
            }
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <mx:DateChooser />
</mx:Application>

2) Proper way - create locale resource with date format:

dateFormat=YYYY/MM/DD
