What would I have to do to add hours and minutes combo boxes under the date picker?
Goal is to allow clients to pick date and time of day and result in this format.
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

Suggestions anyone?

Wasn’t able to submit, when non-required validators weren’t filled out, so I modified the following to AdvancedForm.setValidatorListenerEvents() in your ‘for each’ loop:

if( container[ a.@name ] is Validator && container[ a.@name ].required ) {…}

Sorry if there’s a better place, but it’s working…

Thanks so much.. working great!

Renaun, Thanks a bunch for contributing this component to the community! I have one problem. If I'm using multiple validators in a form and I reset the form, the form then only requires one of the validators to be completed on the next time completing it. The rest don't seem to matter. Here's some code and directions to reproduce what I'm talking about. The code: To reproduce the problem: 1. fill out the form. 2. clear the fields. 3. fill out any one field 4. click to fill out another field and the submit button becomes enabled. Thanks for any help with this.

I will look into it. Its a error I throw when the snapshot does not find a valid value for the specific item that triggered a FOCUS_OUT event, which is set for TextInput’s and TextAreas.

I’m using your component with on a few different forms in an app. This error comes up when I transition from one state to another (containing a separate form). Any Ideas.

Error: Snapshot not defined
at com.renaun.containers::AdvancedForm/::textInputChange()
at flash.display::Stage/set focus()
at mx.core::UIComponent/setFocus()
at mx.managers::FocusManager/setFocus()
at mx.managers::FocusManager/::mouseDownHandler()

Quick instructions:
Download and Extract source zip file.
In a your Flex Builder, navigate to the Flex Project you want to use it in.
Then click on Project -> Properties -> Flex Build Path
Then click on the Library Path tab on the right
Then click on the “Add SWC…” button on the right, browse to where you extracted the zip file.
You’ll find the SWC file under /renaun_com_AdvancedForm/bin/, browse to this file and hit OK.

Thats it, now you can use the component.

The other way would be to copy the /renaun_com_AdvancedForm/src/ files into your Project as is.

Hope that helps,
