OK, I've got it working how I wanted. Would love to hear feedback on
my structure as well as whether or not you find this useful.
Usage:
<local:QuickDateFormatter id="qdf" date="{fieldOne.text}"
dateFormat="{fieldTwo.text}" />
<mx:Label text="{qdf.output}"/>
Source class:
package
{
import mx.formatters.DateFormatter;
public class QuickDateFormatter extends DateFormatter
{
private var _str_dateString:String;
private var _str_dateFormat:String;
[Bindable] public var output:String;
public function get date():String
{
return _str_dateString;
}
public function set date(a_str:String):void
{
_str_dateString = a_str;
reformat();
}
public function get dateFormat():String
{
return _str_dateFormat;
}
public function set dateFormat(a_str:String):void
{
_str_dateFormat = a_str;
reformat();
}
private function reformat():void
{
var f:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
f.formatString = _str_dateFormat;
output =
f.format(DateFormatter.parseDateString(_str_dateString));
}
}
}
Let me know what you think!
