DateField class (Flash Professional only)
Inheritance MovieClip > UIObject class > UIComponent class > ComboBase > DateField
ActionScript Class Name mx.controls.DateField
The properties of the DateField class let you access the selected date and the displayed month and
year. You can also set the names of the days and months, indicate disabled dates and selectable
dates, set the first day of the week, and indicate whether the current date should be highlighted.
Setting a property of the DateField class with ActionScript overrides the parameter of the same
name set in the Property inspector or Component inspector.
Each component class has a
version property, which is a class property. Class properties are
available only on the class itself. The
version property returns a string that indicates the version
of the component. To access this property, use the following code:
trace(mx.controls.DateField.version);
Note: The code trace(myDateFieldInstance.version); returns undefined.
