DateChooser is behaving strangely
- by Tam
I'm writing a Flex application and I came across what I think is a weird problem.
I want to create a text box and a DateChooser as the datefield didn't do what I wanted and it's Halo so I can't skin it easily. I want the DateChooser to show when I click on the text input. Here is an except from my code:
<s:TextInput id="wholeDate" width="100"
mouseOver="stopChangeToNormal();"
paddingRight="10"
click="date1.visible = true"
focusOut="date1.visible = false"/>
<s:Button label="Go" width="70" />
</s:Panel>
<mx:DateChooser id="date1"
visible = "false"
change="useDate(event);"
mouseOver="changeToNormalState = false;"
y="{wholeDate.y + buttonsGroup.y + 20}"
x="{wholeDate.x + buttonsGroup.x - 175 }" />
The weird thing is that it works as I wanted if I make it visible = "true" to start but if I have it visible="false" it doesn't work! It shows but the date I select doesn't show in the box as it does if I have it as visible="true", but I don't want it to be visible initially.
Any ideas?
