View 1 RepliesI have a form in which i add two dates
Start date
End Date
I want to know how i validate that the selected start date is always less than end date(actually an expiry date).
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' 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?
View 2 RepliesI'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 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.
View 1 Repliesaccording 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.
View 1 RepliesIs 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.
View 2 RepliesIs 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

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.
How can I detect when a user changes a date field - specifically when they TYPE the date as I have set it to editable:
<mx:FormItem label="Assigned" x="220" y="59">
<mx:DateField formatString="YYYY-MM-DD" id="clinicianAssignedDateInput" editable="true" text="@{this._currentEditEncounter.clinicianAssignedDate}"

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.
View 1 RepliesI 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:
<mx:DateField yearNavigationEnabled="true" text="@{dateValue}"/>
<mx:DateField yearNavigationEnabled="true" selectedDate="{dateValue}"/>
Now eventually I am trying to store/retrieve the date as a string in the db.
Regarding the dateField, there is the TextInput and the Icon. I want the icon to appear on the left side of the TextInput instead of it appearing on the right side as it is in the default state.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI want to assign date to Date field that is in DD-MM-YYYY format. That is I receive String Closure_Date which contains date in DD-MM-YYYY format.
I want to assign that date to Date field like:
dtCloseDate.selectedDate=new Date(Closure_Date);
In this case If Closure_Date contains 16/11/2011 it takes 16 as month so it takes 12 and adds remaining 4 months and it returns 04/11/2012.
My question is how to assign date(DD-MM-YYYY) to DateField?
If I use Dateformatter(DD-MM-YYYY) like
dtCloseDate.selectedDate=new Date(Dateformatter.format(Closure_Date));
It Returns NaN
I am trying to get the selected date on the datagrid. I used the itemrenderer to display the datefield on my datagrid.
<mxataGridColumn dataField="dt" headerText="Date of Transaction" itemRenderer="mx.controls.DateField" rendererIsEditor="true" editorDataField="selectedDate"/>
I have been working with Flex and ActionScript for a few years now, but am just now getting into switching locales dynamically in one of my applications. I have set up locale bundles and have everything working well except for one thing I can't seem to get to change...the internal labels and date formatting on a DateField component.The DateField component is defined statically in MXML, but I am trying to change the dayNames, monthNames, and dateFormat attributes dynamically when a user changes locale, and it doesn't seem to work. have bound variables set up in the MXML that I am trying to change for all 3 of those attribute values, but they don't seem to change when I change the variable values.
I've tried making invalidateDisplayList() and invalidateProperties() calls after changing the values, but that doesn't seem to matter. I even added a call to "initialize()" after the 2 invalidate calls thinking maybe that needed to be called, but nothing seems to make a difference in getting the labels updated within the componentwhat I could be doing wrong? I've verified that the newDaysArray and newMonths array are getting set up properly from the bundle that they are being read from in the actionscript below.I should add that I've also tried editing the appropriate array variables in theSharedResources.properties file within the appropriate locales' framework_rb.swc library in my Flex sdk, and that hasn't seemed to do anything either.Here's code snippets:
MXML:
Code:
<mx:DateField id="dayChooser" formatString="{formatString}" dayNames="{daysArray}"

I have a Flex application embedded in a Flash application, which was working fine and currently works fine if not embedded. As of last Friday, when embedded the Alerts do not show (no error, just nothing), DateField Calendar dropdowns do not show (null value reference of DateField), and dynamically showing the busy cursor errors (null value reference). My code for the Flex app did not change, and I can't think of any reason outside of Flash Player updates (which I think unlikely) or something has changed in the Flash application that is embedding it.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.
Is it possible to clear a Flex flash.utils.Dictionary? I have a Dictionary that I want to clear (remove all elements).

View 2 RepliesIn main.mxml I have a bunch of textInput controls a combobox and a few checkboxes that I would like to be able to clear with some sort of loop. Right now, I do it like this:
[Code]...
I read a post on SO that recomended adding the controls to an ArrayCollection with the creationComplete event. I tried that and it worked fine but it was not any more elegant than what I have now. All of these controls are in mxml format and not generated with AS by me. I also tried looping like this:
I can't get past that part though. I cannot find a way to reference the values of the control.
I have an editable datagrid with a dataprovider which is basically Numbers. Is it possible to delete a value? When I do it it puts a 0 in that cell but I really need an empty value, like a Null or a NaN whose are going to be cleaned later with a labelFunction. BTW I also need the cells to keep the 0 if needed to.
View 1 RepliesI have used the index of a value object to map to a screen object so that new items added index as -1, -2, -3, -4, -5 etc. Now that I am ready to add these new objects to the database I want to clear their index value so that I can run a createService on them.
It wont allow me to delete object.property and setting it to 0 or trying to set it to null will not allow the object to be created in the database.
What other method can I use for clearing the property?
