Hi!  
I am new to Flash 8 and I’m trying to use a datefield. I’ve seen it used in many sites and I’ve seen you can quickly scroll through months and years to arrive at the date you desire.

However, when I put my datefield on the stage, I can only move month by month, and only by clicking with no scrolling functionality.

Can anyone explain how to get my datefield to work with all its functions?  
Thanks
