Hi,

I am using the Calendar Component in Flash and I wanted to be able to add events to the calendar using XML. Does anyone know how to do this?

I would like to have the date with something in it to have a red background, which I think I have done using the setStyle feature, and once the date it listed I want a Hover Caption to pop up and follow your mouse while you over the date with information in it.

I just need to know where to get started.  
🙂
