I got it.. I modified my function to the below and here it is for
anyone to use if you need.
function getNextSaturday(date)
{
// define variables
var cMonth;
var cYear;
var cDay;
var dayNum;
var tempDate;
var days;
// set variables
cMonth = (date.getMonth());
cYear = date.getFullYear();
cDay = date.getDate();
dayNum = date.getDay();
// create date object for the next Saturday of the date chosen
tempDate = new Date (cYear,cMonth,cDay + (6 - dayNum));
// set the datefield's value to your date object
daDate.selectedDate = tempDate;
alert(daDate.selectedDate);
}
and you can call it like...
<mx:DateField id="daDate" change="getNextSaturday(event.target.selectedDate)" />
