Re: [flexcoders] Default date in DateField

[Michael Griffin]

Hey Tom,

 

Does this help?  Just a simple example grabbing the date and setting it when the app initializes.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" initialize="displayDate();">

    <mx:Script>
        function displayDate(date) {
   var today_date:Date = new Date();
   var date_str:String = (today_date.getDate()+"/"+(today_date.getMonth()+1)+"/"+today_date.getFullYear());
   mx.controls.Alert.show(date_str,"Message"); // displays current date in United States date format
   selectedDate.text = date_str;
        }

    </mx:Script>

    <mx:DateChooser id="date1" change="displayDate(event.target.selectedDate)"/>

    <mx:TextInput id="selectedDate"/>

</mx:Application>

 

 

Mike

Subject: [flexcoders] Default date in DateField

How do I set a default date string in a DateField's text field? Say, I want
the default date shown to be January 1, 2005. I'm able to set the default
date in the popup calendar using selectedDate, but how do I display that in
the text field?
