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.
For example :
input = 360 seconds
output = 6 minutes
input = 86400
output = 1 day
Is there a built-in method for this.
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 have a gameloop, where I used to calculate the timedifference in seconds for time based movement.
ActionScript Code:
var currentTime:int = getTimer();
var currentTimeDeltaInSeconds:Number = (currentTime - _lastTimeUpdated) / 1000;
now I've decided I want to use Miliseconds, so it looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
var currentTimeDeltaInMiliSeconds:Number = currentTime - _lastTimeUpdated
So I've converted speed variables, by dividing them with /1000, it looked like this before:
ActionScript Code:
var currentTimeDelta:Number = 0.036 ; // in seconds
var speed:Number = 50;
[code]...
- But the result is still not identical, position is still 1000x more, I know it has to do with multiplying the velocity with the timedelta, which is 1000 times greater with miliseconds, but I dont understand why is it like this?
Setting the text property of a flex DateField makes the selectedDate property of that DateField go to null.I need to set the text property so that I can use a particular format (DD-MMM-YYYY).
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?

View 13 RepliesCan you add curve effects to text in flash without converting it to a raster format? Either applying the effect straight to the text, or converting the text to a path and applying the curve effect to the resultant path?
View 1 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?
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?
there's no way to clear a date after it has been inserted! I had to add an ugly button near it to clear it programmatically..

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.

How can I detect when a user changes a date field - specifically when they TYPE the date as I have set it to editable:

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 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 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.
