i have a datechooser component that i want to use to control elements on my swf. when i use the on(change) or on(scroll) trigger how do i get it to display the current month im on or the current day.  
in essence i want to be able to trace the date that is selected when i click the date. ive been all over the help file in the component and for some reason i cant find a property that returns selected values. i know it must be simple any ideas? :pa:
