Much easier.

[flexcoders] Re: Time Validating
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 flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, boy_trike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Flex has a NUMBERformatter and a DATEFormatter.

[flexcoders] Re: Time Validating
Well - just spent some time with this. Here's what I came up with.
Sloppy, but it works. This allows standard times (1:00, 12:00,
12:59), but not military time (24:00, 13:59, etc.).
private function validateTime():void {
var setTime:String = new String;
setTime = timeToAdd.text;
if ((setTime.length == 4 setTime.charAt(1) == : int
(setTime.charAt(0)) = 1 int(setTime.charAt(0)) = 9 int
(setTime.charAt(2)) = 5 int(setTime.charAt(3)) = 9)
|| (setTime.length == 5 setTime.charAt(2) == : int
(setTime.charAt(0)) == 1 int(setTime.charAt(1)) = 2 int
(setTime.charAt(3)) = 5 int(setTime.charAt(4)) = 9)) {
Alert.show(Valid Number);
} else {
Alert.show (Plesae enter a correct time (i.e. 12:00,
9:00, etc.);
}
}
mx:HBox
mx:Label text=Type in a Time:/
mx:TextInput id=timeToAdd width=100% text=12:00 /
/mx:HBox
