ActionScript 2.0 :: Add A DateField Using The DateField Component
Dec 8, 2009
I am making a form that pass's the Variables over to php. I am using Input text feilds and also a combo box. The text fields were a breeze and the combo box took a little bit of research but I got that working by assigning it a instance name of cBox and then using the following code to pass it through:
Code:
cBoxVar= cBox.getValue();
Now I want to add a DateField using the AS2 DateField Component. How would I pass it over to a variable so when the form collects at the end it will go over to the php?
I making a flash contact form for reservations. I dragged the DateField component onto the stage, gave it an instance name of rDate_txt and it works great in picking a date and sending to my php emailer. Its formatted like 10 Apr 2008.Now, Im trying to calculate the day of the week based on the date. I can calculate todays date with...
get the date chosen from the DateField component?Once I get the day of the week, I need to make a different ComboBox visible if its a Friday or Saturday. So I would think I need to set up an onchange listener?
I am using the DateField component in my movie dateField.swf. I am loading this movie into an empty movieclip in my master.swf. When I run master .swf the DateField component (residing in the loaded in dateField.swf) doesn't work properly! The dateChooser automatically opens up, which is good but when the dateChooser closes after I chose a date I can't open it up again! When I run dateField.swf on its own everything works as it should. And I have the DateField component also in both libraries. I have used the following code in the master.fla but to no avail!
empty_mc.loadMovie("dateField.swf");//this works fine empty_mc._lockroot = true;
Simply as I can put it, I drag a Datefield component on stage and then create a dynamic text field on stage. I'm looking for the actionscript to make the selected date from the DateField also appear in the dynamic textfield.
I've found the script to do this for a numeric stepper
var my_nstep:mx.controls.NumericStepper; var nstepListener:Object = new Object(); nstepListener.change = function(evt_obj:Object){ myText.text = evt_obj.target.value; } my_nstep.addEventListener("change", nstepListener);
I've tried modifying this script to work with the datefield but all I can get to happen is for the dynamic textfield to say "undefined."
I have a DateField component in Flex and I want to stop any user input. If I set the editable to "false" then it stops users changed the bits of the DateField box. It does NOT however stop them from clicking on the calendar icon next to it and updating the date. Is it possible to disable this? I basically want the component to be read only under some circumstances but not for it to have any alpha overlay. Therefore I want to use editable rather than enabled.
I was wondering how to store a DATE value, selected from the DATEFIELD component into a variable.I.e. so that the user will enter a date (Sept. 12, 2005), and on subsequent frame, that date will be written as text. Thus, how can I store a selected date into a variable?
i inserted a dateField component.on clicking it displays calender, i would like to add 2 comboboxes, i shows hours(0 to 23) other for minutes (0 to 59) to calender so tht the user can select the time along with the date and that wil be displayed in the text input as date and Time. one more thing i would like to add is clear button to clear the selected date to the calender.
I'm using a dateField component (with editable = true) as an itemEditor in a dataGrid. Interestingly, when editing the textInput part of the dateField it doesn't seem to react to an ESC keydown as I would expect, i.e. reload old dateField value and give up focus. This seems to be standard for most other components, but not for as most other components do.
How would you go about implementing such behavior? I can listen to keydown == escape on the TextInput portion, but just realized that I don't know how to tell dateField to give up focus and politely close - in fact I'm not even sure that's the right strategy (maybe I should work at the DataGrid level?
I' m trying to use the DateField control.I can set the current value using the selectedDate field.Adobe says: "Selecting the currently selected date in the control deselects it, sets the selectedDate property to null", so when user selects other date the selectedDate = null. How do I can get the current selected value? I only saw in the debugger that DateField's text property contains the string with selected date? Do I need to parse it back?
I'm using Flash builder, with flex 4 sdk, I'm trying to create a DateField in which the TextInput component has rounded corners, this is my code, for some reason it doesn't work, anyone knows why?
Is there a way to Set a a focus border on a datefield when it is selected and change the border to some other colour when we lose focus from the datefield.
according the documentation borderThickness is an applicable style, but when I try to set it to anything (would prefer '0') it says "The style 'borderThickness' is excluded by type 'mx.controls.DateField'."I could style the background color to be the same as the background, but I have an image behind so this will not work.
I want to know the Difference between DateField and DateChooser in FLEX. I know the UI changes but i want the difference other than its UI, Properties, Method etc...
I want to change the dropdown driection of the calender of datefield.since my width of the application is small.and also i want to reduce the size of the datefield's calender control.
Is there any Flex control to select months (any)? Right now I'm using a DateField and allow the user to select any date in a month to select that month.
Is there anything wrong with following snippet of code?
var d:Date = DateField.dateToString(myDateField.text,"DD/MM/YYYY"); testTextArea.text = d.getSeconds().toString(); Error: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Date.
How to create a DateField in flex, that would disable all the dates before today's current date.
<mx:DateField id="dateField2" yearNavigationEnabled="true" disabledRanges="{[ {rangeEnd: new Date(dateBeforeCurrentDate} ]}" color="0x000000"/>
I understand I will have to do sometime like the code above. But I don't know how to get dateBeforeCurrentDate, so that all the date from yesterday will be disabled.
The change event seems to only throw when using the calendar pop-up. It is not thrown when the user manually types in to the field. I also tried dataChange.
I'm using the MX DateField control in Flex and want to display the date as 01 Jul 2011 or 01 July 2011. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried setting the formatString to "DD MMM YYYY" but it didn't work.
I have two Datefields .Is there a way that i can set the date of second Datefield to a specified range(say three days ...?. I tried to do it but not worked .. dont know to convert date back to string and format it .. here is the code
I have a Form with several FormItems and one of those include an mx:DateField. I am not sure how I should bind the DateField values. I have tried the following which none work:
I cant seem to find a way to dynamically change the rangeStart of a DateField component.
I have two DateField components, check-in and check-out, and I want to restrict the SelectableRange rangeStart of the check-out so that it is equal to check- n.rangeStart + 1, one day after the check-in date.
