Hello, Is it possible to have a data entry/ input formatter? For example, I have a DateField and I want to override the data entry so that they can only type 1 or 2 numbers followed by a slash, then 1 or 2 numbers followed by a slash, then 4 numbers. Is there such thing in Flex as an Input Data Formatter or something similar? How do others handle this?
