Hi, I’m returning some info from a Database via a PHP script into Flash using the XML Connector > DataSet > DataGrid components to display some audio file details. Overall I have it working nicely, but my problem is [COLOR=darkorange]I cannot figure out how to get my dates to display nicely and remain sortable[/COLOR] (by clicking on the Column Header).
I want to present the dates in the format, “Wed Jul 4 2007 3:33pm” if possible.
Since I have used drag’n’drop components, I don’t understand the actionscript that creates the datagrid (although I have been able to achieve some styling on the grid via actionscript –
e.g.
[COLOR=gray]sounds_grd.setStyle(“alternatingRowColors”, [0xF7F7F7, 0xF2F2F2]);[/COLOR]
Can anyone help me with the code required to format the (sortable) date column?
Currently I am passing in the date value from the database as a Number, in the format: 200707041533 (as per the above date example).
By the way, I want my swf to be usable from Flash player 7 and up ( or less if possible), thus I am using Actionscript 2.
Help greatly appreciated! I have asked this elsewhere over the last few months, but so far have had no clear solution.
Geoff
