Alf,
It means you intend to access to any datefield field in your application
from a generic function in an external AS file, don�t you?.
In this case, the argument should be the Datefield id:
getCurrentDate(myDateFieldId);
function getCurrentDate(myArg)
{
var myArg;// it must be the id
myArg.selectedDate = new Date();
}
The id. must be unique. To access to a field in a .mxml file from an
external file, you should specify the complete path from the "Application"
tag.
For example:
main.mxml
---------
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
xmnls:myNameSpace="*"..>
<myNameSpace:sample id="sample">
..
</mx:Application>
sample.mxml
-----------
...
<mx:DateField id="inputDate" dateFormatter="formatDate" />
The path to this datefield is: mx.core.Application.application.sample.
inputDate

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,
