Hi Bryan,
I can't really help you with the built-in flash components in director
(actually I never fully understood what they are good for, at least if
you own a copy of Flash). But the following would work for a "normal"
flash component:
Create a flash movie that contains nothing than a DateChooser component,
give it an instance name (e.g. "dc1"), and add the following
actionscript to frame 1:
listenerObject = new Object();
listenerObject.change = function(eventObject){}; // function can be
empty!
dc1.addEventListener("change", listenerObject);
save the fla, compile it, done.
now import the swf into director, put it on the stage/score, and attach
a sprite script like:
property pDateChooser
on beginSprite me
pDateChooser = sprite(me.spriteNum).getVariable("dc1", 0)
sprite(me.spriteNum).setCallback(pDateChooser, "change", #change, me)
end
on change me
tDate = pDateChooser.selectedDate
-- now do something with the choosen date, like
put tDate.toString()
-- or
-- put
integer(1900+tDate.getYear())&"-"&integer(tDate.getMonth()+1)&"-"&integer(tDate.getDate())
end
Cheers,
Valentin

Greetings all,
I'm having trouble figuring out how to access the properties of the
DateChooser Flash Component. I'm getting the change and scroll
events, but
can't do anything with them.
What I'm trying to do is initialize the calendar to a preset date,
then
retrieve the date selected by the user.
Win, DMX2K4.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
