Add Current Date to Input Fields

1

Ok so i’ve got three text boxes in which i need the current date to display (one text box for the year, one for the month, one for the day). Simple, no? The only issue i’m having is i need to have a provision for users to change the date in these text boxes. So basically i need three input boxes that display the current date (one input box for year, one for month, one for day). However I cant find any way to do this. All the tutorials (even the one on this site) only puts the date into dynamic text boxes. If i try changing my boxes to Input Text boxes…well the date still displays, but it can’t be modified like in a normal Input Box.

Here’s the code i’m using (pretty simple):

 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	theDate = new Date();
	theMonth = theDate.getMonth();
	theDay = theDate.getDate();
	theYear = theDate.getFullYear();
	yearField = theYear;
	monthField = theMonth;
	dayField = theDay;
}

yearField, monthField, and dayField are the Input Boxes where i want the date to display. However i want the input boxes to retain thier ability to be changed and edited to the user’s will.

I’d appreciate any ideas to solve this problem. Thanks!
