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...
View 1 RepliesI would like to see different colors in my DateChooser / CalendarLayout for weekdays and weekend days. I would also like to achieve this using a custom stylename (for example: "weekColor" and "weekendColor".
View 2 RepliesI 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 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 need only a little bit to finish something that I am doing.I make a calendar, using Flash and AmfPHP, the calendar load the reservations informations in a MySql table. After the flash movie, takes the information relating to the reserved days of the calendar, and then, the calendar would have to take the information of the MySQL table, the column of (date visits) for deactivate, the previous selected date by others users.I´m using this code:
Either how I have to pass the information stored in the table(Date Visits), to the calendar in order that it deactivates the dates stored in the database?
Where and how do I get the datechooser for Flash CS3, AS3.0?
I have a DateChooser component that is on a masked layer along with TextFields. I can set Character Embedding for the TextFields and they render fine, but the DateChooser does not.
How do I apply Character Embedding
Id like to have an XMLConnector read an xml-file (containing dates, and a "To Do" string for each date).A DateChooser should be on stage, enabling the user to select a date, and view the textstring for that specific date pop up in a DataGrid.Something very similar to this tutorial, in the section "Arrays and Indexing", replacing the ComboBox with a DateChooser:
http:[url].....I tried modifying the tutorial accordingly, but without success. I guess my skills aint good enough to accomplish this yet.
I want a to user a DateChooser to allow a user to select a date in a given month and year. I want to set the month and year programmatically and only allow the user to select the date/day. I can do this for the year easily by setting the minYear and maxYear to whatever year I want, but I am not seeing a strait forward way of disallowing the user to select a different month?
View 4 RepliesHow 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.
Code I used to do that,
dateFrom.dayNames = ['æ—¥', '月', 'ç«', 'æ°´', '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 = "å¹´";
where dateFrom is the id of the DateField.
all I want to do is check to see if a date is selected, trace something; else, trace something else. simple enough right?assuming my_dc as DateChooser instance name, I use:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
yesterday = new Date(2009, 0, 22);
my_dc.selectedDate = yesterday;

I have written code to read an XML file by using URLRequest and URLLoader in ActionScript 3.0. Code is pasted below. This runs well in AS3.Problem I am facing is because I wrote this in AS3, I am not able to use the DateChooser component in another part of the flash module because it seems like DateChooser component is not supported in AS3. So I want to migrate my below AS3 code back to AS2.
**** Code in AS3 (I need help in writing equivalent code in AS2) :-
var xmlText:XML ;var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myFile.xml");var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
I'm writing a Flex application and I came across what I think is a weird problem. I want to create a text box and a DateChooser as the datefield didn't do what I wanted and it's Halo so I can't skin it easily. I want the DateChooser to show when I click on the text input. Here is an except from my code:

ExtendedDateChooser class is great solution for simple event calendar used in my flex project. You can find it if google for "Adding-Calendar-Event-Entries-to-the-Flex-DateChooser-Component" with a link of updated solution in comments of the post. I posted files below. Problem in that calendar is text events are missing when month is changed. Is there updateCompleted event in Actionscript just like in dateChooser flex component? Like in:
[Code]...
I have an Array of days. I want those days to have a different background-color in the DateChooser component, say red.
View 3 RepliesI got a Problem with my DateChooser. When clicking the control directly it highlights the date as it should. When selecting the date programmatically it won't show.
var date:Date = notification.getBody() as Date;
_view.dcMiniCalendar.selectedDate = date;
trace tells me, that date and _view.dcMiniCalendar.selectedDate carry the correct values. I already tried to use _view.dcMiniCalendar.invalidateDisplayList() (and some other invalidate functions as well) but neither with nor without them I get that date to be shown selected in the control.
The AS2 DateChooser has just the functionality I need to build the events calendar that I have to build .. however .. while I know what to do in theory, I'm stumbling on (a) whether it will work and (b) syntax.
I want to display an instance of the DateChooser (myDate) and access the selectedDate property when the user selects a date. Then I need to pass it to the main events page preferably on the same page with something like this:
SELECT EventTitle. EventDescription, EventLink FROM Events
WHERE EventDate = MMColParam
MMColParam 1 myDate.selectedDate
The page itself is ASP. I am thinking I would probably define a variable and perhaps use LoadVars to load the selected date from Flash .. not something I have done before.
Perhsps something like
dim eventDate
eventDate = myDate.selectedDate
I'm sure that's not the syntax .. but I think that is the theory. I should be able to access the selectedDate property of the Date Chooser instance and feed the date into the query to select the events on that date and list them.
I'm new to flash, and using Macromedia flash 8.
I'd like to use in-built DateChooser component in my flash project.
So How do I bind an even handler on selection of any date? let's say I want to display selected date in another dynamic text element.
If you have a DateChooser control next to a text control and you left click your mouse to select the text then continue holding down the mouse button and letting the mouse button up while over the datechooser control, the selectedDate value changes to the date you are hovering over. I have users that are having issues with this and it happens unintentionally because of the proximity of the two controls. I cannot find a way to stop this effect. Basically I would want the selectedDate to only change if the user actually clicks the calendar control ie. mouseDown or click. Calling functions in those events do not change this behavior. I need a way to disable the control from changing the date on the mouseUpEvent (I think).
View 1 RepliesMy DateChooser code and its style code is shown below:
<mx:DateChooser id="dc" cornerRadius="0" bottom="0" width="100%" allowMultipleSelection="true" allowDisjointSelection="false" styleName="dateChooserGradient" change="fetchDateAgenda(dc.selectedDate)"/>
And the dateChooserGradient:
.dateChooserGradient {
header-colors: #133c59, #29506c;
todayStyleName: myTodayStyleName;
headerStyleName: myHeaderStyleName;
weekDayStyleName: myWeekDayStyleName;
dropShadowEnabled: false;
arrowBorderThickness:2;
arrowColor: #062338;
arrowAlpha: 0.1;
}
What I actually want for my arrows is a transparent background, with borderthickness to be 2, and the arrows and bordercolor to be #062338. Also if I can make the width and height of the arrow itself a bit bigger then what it is as default.

View 2 RepliesI' 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?

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.

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...
Code:
myDate = new Date();
daytext = myDate.getDay();
switch (daytext)
{
[code]....
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?
