Date coercion fails? Chapter 13, 'Checkout'

[gimmeanamehere]

Hi,
I'm at the end of Chapter 13. When I add items to the cart, go to
checkout, fill out the user info and use the selected date (or select
a new date) and press the Checkout button I get the following error:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
"{deliveryDate.selectedDate" to Date.

I've copied the 'complete' files into the working project and this
doesn't help.

Any ideas?

I think you must have missed something when you copied the completed
files as mine have an extra } before the quote.

The error message is telling you that it cannot convert the string
"{deliveryDate.selectedDate" to a Date. Since you are missing the last
squiggly bracket, flex is assuming you mean that string, not the value
of the selectedDate property of the deliveryDate.
