Take out the re-declaration of var myArg, make sure you pass in a referencenot a string and that should work fine.
If you will always be passing in a date field, type the argument: public function setCurrentDate(dateField:mx.controls.DateField):Void Tracy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 4:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] dateField questions? Hi ibibas, How would I set up a function to accept an argument like this: getCurrentDate(myDateFieldNameHere); I know this isn't correct: function getCurrentDate(myArg) { var myArg; myArg.selectedDate = new Date(); } I would like to make the function generic so I could reuse it on other screens using the same external AS file. thanks, -Art Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > Once created the datefield, use this code in a ActionScript function: > > inputDate.selectedDate = new Date(); > > where inputDate: > > <mx:DateField id="inputDate" dateFormatter="formatDate" /> > > You can format it using this function: > > function formatDate(item) { > var df:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter(); > > df.formatString = "DD/MM/YYYY"; // this the mask > > return df.format(item); > } > > > Hope it helps...;-) > > > Isaac Bib�s Forado > > > > > > > Yahoo!
