RE: [flexcoders] dateField questions?

Hi Tracy,
Works great!
Here is the code for whoever needs it ;)
my AS:
getCurrentDate(commDate);
My Function:
function getCurrentDate(dateField:mx.controls.DateField)
{
dateField.selectedDate = new Date();
}
my MXML:
<mx:DateField id="commDate"/>
Quoting Tracy Spratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
=====================================================================
Take out the re-declaration of var myArg, make sure you pass in a 
reference not 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

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,

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...;-)
