Comments on: Setting the selected date in a DateChooser control in Flex http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/04/02/setting-the-selected-date-in-a-datechooser-control-in-flex/ Just a bunch of Adobe Flex Examples Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:26:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: Vicki http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/04/02/setting-the-selected-date-in-a-datechooser-control-in-flex/comment-page-1/#comment-6527 Vicki Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:07:25 +0000 http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/04/02/setting-the-selected-date-in-a-datechooser-control-in-flex/#comment-6527 Actually, I spoke a little too soon. Yes it works for one field but I have multiple date fields that this needs to work for and each have their own "id". Is there a way to make this function work for all id's so I don't have to create a function for each date field? Actually, I spoke a little too soon.

How about this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
 
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.events.DropdownEvent;
 
            protected function df_openHandler(evt:DropdownEvent):void {
                var now:Date = new Date();
                df.displayedYear = now.fullYear;
                df.displayedMonth = now.month;
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
 
    <mx:DateField id="df" selectedDate="{new Date(1900)}" open="df_openHandler(event);" />
 
</mx:Application>

We use a default date of '01/01/1900' instead of blank so when a user wants to change the '01/01/1900' to something valid, he clicks the calendar and the year '1900' is displayed. I would like the current month and year to be displayed instead of January 1900 . Thanks for your help.
