--------------------------------------
No longer an issue in Apache Flex 4.10.
> Allow up/down arrows to change value of a closed datefield control
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLEX-24671
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-24671
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mx: DateField
> Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.0 (Release)
> Environment: Affected OS(s): Windows
> Affected OS(s): Windows
> Language Found: English
> Reporter: Adobe JIRA
> Assignee: Adobe JIRA
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Run attached sample.
> 2. Focus the datefield control.
> 3. Attempt to use up/down arrows to change the value without opening the
> control.
>
> Actual Results:
> Nothing happens.
>
> Expected Results:
> * If no date is selected, start with today's date on first up or down arrow.
> * If a date is selected, move back or forward one day based on which arrow
> key was pressed.
> * Alternatively, implement more keys for navigating a closed datefield
> control. Suggestions: left/right arrows move by day, up/down by week, page
> up/down by month, ctrl+page up/down by year (if these do not cause conflicts
> with Flash/Flex or the browser).
> * Allow automatic movement to a new month/year as necessary in either
> direction.
> Note: This is being entered with component Accessibility because, at this
> time, there are accessibility problems with the control when it it is open.
> This change would at least allow simple navigation through dates with
> assistive technology.
>
> Workaround (if any):
