Having the same problem here. IMHO, this is so much easier in CF7 Flash Forms with the mask property (mask="99:99" always forces four numbers with a colon in the middle), and I'm not sure why it has to be as complicated as it is in Flex2.
The closest I've gotten is by using a number validator and changing the decimalSeparator property to colon. Unfortunately, this will still allow "times" like 1:234, 123:4, 1234, etc. I'm assuming though you can probably develop something with RegExp, but I don't quite understand enough about regular expressions. Another interesting thing...I noticed that DateChooser's selectedDate property includes time as part of its data. Any way to format or access that? Agreed though - surely someone has taken care of this. - Chris --- In [email protected], "boy_trike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Flex has a NUMBERformatter and a DATEFormatter.
