DateField
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??

Thanks,
D dot B

DateField Problem
I have a flash page where user selects two dates through datefield components.
and the on next button press the selected dates are stored in vars.

when he comes back dates are loaded to the components back.if datefields are not undefined.

systax is
_root.arr.selectedDate = _global.arrDateT;

this works fine...

but if the user goes two steps further by pressing the next btn after selecting the dates, and again pressing the next btn from that page after making some check butoon selection...now he's in the third page and vars that has the date values are unchanged...now if he decides to com back to the first page to reselect dates..he comes two steps by pressing back buttons...

now comes the problem...datefieds are unsigned...and he can select new dates even its still unsigned...

but i trace the vars they still contain the saved values...

any idea why this happens?

[F8] Datefield Problem
My datefield is part of movieclip A.

When i click on the calendar part of the datefiled componet it expands showing the calendar - as it should - and it expands overtop of movieclip A - however it doesnt expand overtop of movieclip B - which is next to it - so essentially i have 1/2 the calendar showing .- This is obviously a depth problem.

As a result i do a swapdepth with movieclip A
swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());

Which works fine and now movieclip A is the highest on the stage.

Now when i click on the datefiled to expand the calendar. The Calendar is below Movieclip A.

So it seems as if movieclip A swaps depths fine, but the pop-out calendar componet stays on a lower depth.

What am i doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

DateField Component?
(got to be the WORST component I have used yet)..

anyways..

ok..

Im confused, and maybe someone who has experience with it can help me out.

two DateField components on the stage

From
&
To

I have the dateFormatter added, and I can pull the data from the components..

but I have went back and am trying to add a 'control check' (trap) so that the any date chosen in the FROM compoenent is not a date BEYOND the TO date chosen... and if so.. then just choose the day BEFORE the TO date.,

same thing fro the TO field (eventually).. cant choose a TO date BEFORE the FROM date..

when tracing things.. I am creating/setting a new DATE object as the selectedDate...

everythign is tracing fine..the conditional check between the two components (dates) is working fine.... (getTime() and then compare)..

and when I trace out the new Date() obj I am applying.settign as the new selectedDate for the component.. it is correct..

however the DISPLAY (field) will NOT update to the new selectedDate obj?

I saw a method for the displayMonth and displayFullYear I think..but nothign for displayDay... nor any mention on how to update the display (text field) to the correct date obj that the selectedDate is set to..

hope this make sense.. LOL open to whatever you got..

Thanks

SelectableRange In DateField
Hello,
I have two dateFields in my movie, one for "check in" and the second for "check out" in a hotel.
I have this code in the "check in dF" to disable dates before today
_root.intro.selectableRange = {rangeStart:new Date(now)};

Now I'd like to show in the "checkout df" only the days after the date selected in the "check in df"

How could I do that?
Thank you to everybody.

Datefield UI Component
Hi!
I am new to Flash 8 Pro. I am trying to use a datefield component where you can scroll through months and years to easily go back 30 or 40 years.
When I place the datefield on the stage I can only move back or forward one month per click, and holding the mouse down does not move the date.
I wonder if the component that I saw was customized, or am I doing something wrong with the datefield component that is bundled with Flash 8?
Thanks

DateField / DateChooser In CS3/AS3
I'm puzzled beyond wildest dreams why I don't have a date picker component when I'm doing a AS3 (actually an Air application) in Flash CS3. When I make an AS2 project the DateField and DateChooser is listed, but in AS3 they are gone along with other components as well. Several times I have had the feeling now that going to AS3 gives me less options in Flash!! Is it just me or how do I do these things in an AS3/Adobe Air application?!

I would prefer to have a visual component I can move around on the stage, just like with the text fields, dropdowns etc., rather than writing it in AS3 where I don't see it until I run the application...

Regards,
Allan Jensen

DateField Questions
Hi

I'm really hoping someone can help me here as I've looked for hours and can't find exactly what I need.

Basically, I want to use a dateField on a booking enquiry form. I want to display diferent accomodation price values in another text box depending on the date that has been selected in the dateField component. I can define the different ranges using the selectableRange statement but I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

Thanks in advance!

DateField/DateChooser
Hi guys,
I'm trying to use the DateField component to enable only certain days, like imagine a roster for the nights a play will be showing. Does anyone know how I can do this? I hope this isn't too newbie-ish, but I have looked for a solution--go easy on me.

I've searched around, and with the DateField component I found out how to enable only one day and have the rest disabled using quote:instancename.selectableRange = new Date(2007, 8, 6);
I know I can disable ranges / enable them, but the nights aren't on specific days, so I'd have to use more than one enabled range or something, and that I don't know how to do.
So my problem is enabling more than one day, if anyone knows or knows where I can look--please help.

Thanks.
Josh

DateField Component ?
Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a form within my flash movie that allows the user to select the date(for scheduling purposes).

I came across the "dateField" component in Flash 8 and thought it might be something worth looking into. I have never worked with components, so I am not sure what is involved in setting them up. I have tried looking into some resources and most talk about Cold Fusion. Is this required to activate components? If not, does anyone know of a tutorial that could help me with this? Also I have noticed that my navigation gets screwed up once I drag the component into my movie. My form is located within a movie clip that is not on the main timeline. Not sure if this is part of the problem. Any help would be "extremely" appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Here is the link if anyones interested (located on the "quote and schedule" page)

DateField Component And PHP
Hello All,
Im creating a form for a booking system. When the user chooses the date and submits. The booking gets emailed to a specific address. Im using the datefield component in flash. I usually use PHP to push data from a text field and email. But i'm stuck here, because the datefield is not a text field. Can anyone please help me.

someone gave me this code to trace the date.

myDateField.addEventListener("change", this.getDate);
function getDate(evt:Object):Void {
trace(evt.target.selectedDate);
}

The above code traces the output.

Can someone also please tell me, the code for how to push the data to a PHP email script that i have. I have defined the text fields with variables.

Thanks so much. The script for the Submit button is as follows:

on (release) {
if (startDate eq "" or endDate eq "" or registrationType eq "" or messasge eq "") {
stop ();
} else {
loadVariablesNum ("form.php", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop (21);
}
}

I'm not a pro in flash. Please help me.

Cheers

Trying To Focus In On A DateField Component
Has anyone ever had trouble sending keyboard focus to the DateField component? Try this: create a new Flash document and insert a TextInput component named textItem, a DateField component named dateItem and a ComboBox component named ComboItem. Then insert the following code:

textItem.tabIndex=1;
dateItem.tabIndex=2;
comboItem.tabIndex=3;
stop();

Test the movie and try to tab over to the DateField component from the TextInput component. Why does the focus skip over the DateField? Is this something easy to fix, or are we going to have to wait and spend more $$$ for a new release from Adobe/Macromedia?

Using The DateField In An Externally Loaded SWF
Hello,

I have been having major trouble trying to get a basic PHP contact form to work within an externally loaded SWF file inside of a parent SWF. When I test the movie on its own it seems to work fine (example: I'm able to select a date from the DateField component). However, when I open up the parent SWF file and call the external SWF file with the form the DateField is basically unusable (example: when you click on it nothing happens, no calendar pops up to select a date).

I have no ActionScript on it yet, simply because I figure I need it to work before I tell it what to do with the PHP file. The instance name on the DateField is "theDate". Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Also, I have just successfully used the contact form on the web. But, the only user interface components I am able to edit are the input text boxes, not the DateField or the ComboBox I have in it as well. This is very odd, I was not aware that anything special had to be done using these UI components within an external file.

I´ve changed the parameters of my component instance so it´s all in spanish. Works on the screen but not in the output as you can see above.

Getting a choosen date with DateField.selectedDate is not a problem, but the other way round, set DateField.selectedDate to a specific value does not work.

Help Getting Day Of Week From DateField Component
Hi again,
So 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)
{
case 0:
{
daytext = "SUNDAY";
break;
}
case 1:
{
daytext = "MONDAY";
break;
}
case 2:
{
daytext = "TUESDAY";
break;
}
case 3:
{
daytext = "WEDNESDAY";
break;
}
case 4:
{
daytext = "THURSDAY";
break;
}
case 5:
{
daytext = "FRIDAY";
break;
}
case 6:
{
daytext = "SATURDAY";
break;
}
} // End of switch
Can anyone help me 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?

Thanks In Advance!

Binding DateField SelectedDate
I have all the data loading just fine. The only problem is, the DateField does not show a selected date. If I put in an explicit number in the Date constuctor, it works. If I assign the selectedDate after a change event for the combobox it works. However, binding it isnt working. Any ideas?

Code:
<mx:Canvas id="Articles1" name="Articles1" label="Edit Article" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{rowsXML.row}" labelField="@tagline" x="72" y="44" width="270" id="editArticleSelectionData"/>
