Hello all,
I have invoked a DateField instance using ActionScript. I have one issue,
and one feature I would like to have.

Issue:
When DateChooser pops up, the back button to select previous months is
hidden under the calendar image, any way to mave the popup by couple of pixels?

Feature I would love to have:
The default DateChooser does not have any grids (no horizontal/vertical
lines between days). Any way I can do that? any one have a custome skin/style
that be shared?

Thanks
Jay.

Hey there,

I'm not too familiar with the DateChooser object, but just having a look on
livedocs it belongs to the UIObjectClass, which has uiobject.x and uiobject.y
properties, can you just set those to move it?

As for features, can't help you with a skin, but does the object have a border
property? if it does, perhaps you can set it via that?

I tried that but it wont work. I have datefield, so if i set
datefieldInstance.x it move the whole field not just the pulldown section. and
i have to do datefieldInstance.move(x.y)
.x and .y is readonly according to the live docs.

any other ideas?

Just a stab in the dark:

Drag the Datefield to the stage and then delete it (this will add it to the
library), go into your library and look for the DateChooser object, give it a
linkage name, reference it in code via that linkage name?
