You can achieve this, if it's not already there. You can subclass DateField and DateChooser component and add this functionality.
Following is quick and dirty example to : ##ExtendedDateFieldExample.mxml## <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns:local="*"> <local:DateFieldEx /> </mx:Application> ##DateFieldEx.as## import mx.controls.DateField; class DateFieldEx extends DateField { //default German month names... private static var defaultMonthNames = ["Januar","Februar","März","April","Mai","Juni","Juli","August","September", "Oktober","November","Dezember"] public function init():Void { super.init(); monthNames = defaultMonthNames; } } On similar lines you can think... Hope that helps.. -abdul -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joao_m_fernandes Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 5:24 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Date formating application wide Hi there, Is there a way to set default values other than English formating so each component uses it instead of setting formatters everywhere. Example, If I have several DateFields and DateChoosers I want to be able just to set in the main Application weekday names (or month names) and those components use it as default. If I set <mx:DateField> automaticly it should use my definitions of dayNames and monthNames without setting it directly in the component. Any Idea how I can achieve this?
