This is kind of silly, but I was looking through the DateBase class today and figured “why not?”. This example takes a quick look at setting the DateChooser control’s dayNames property and switching between the default values (”S”, “M”, “T”, …, “S”) with the longer versions such as “Sun”, “Mon”, “Tue”, …, “Sat”, and the longer/sillier still “Sunday”, “Monday”, “Tuesday”, …, “Saturday”.
The one interesting thing to note in this example though, is even though you can change the firstDayOfWeek property to control the day first of the week that the calendar starts on, the dayNames array should always start with Sunday.

Another basic little example showing how to format the text in a DateField control using the DateFormatter and the DateField control’s labelFunction property. This entry also shows the pretty basic trick of creating a separate ActionScript class file that holds the day names as constants so you don’t constantly have to think whether Monday is day 0 or day 1 (hint: it is day 1).
