Hi there
this id my first time using a DateField and DateChooser and having a spot of bother. I have called my DateField "startDate" and in the first frame of my movie called "dates.fla" i have set it to automatically open the DateChooser once the swf opens and this works perfectly. Even after I choose a date and it populates the dateField I can click on the DateField box again to open the DateChooser if I wish to edit the date.


Now, the problem arises when I am trying to load the dates.swf into a master fla where a user makes a selection and the dates.swf is loaded into an empty movieclip in the master.fla. It loads in correctly alright & the DateChooser opens automatically. I can choose a date and the DateChooser then closes but I can't click on the DateField again to open the chooser if i wish to edit the date . Code in master.fla is as follows:

empty_mc.loadMovie("dates.swf");

Anyone know what problem is?
Any help would be great!
Thanks

Often when loading a swf into a container swf you need to make sure any components used in the loaded swf are also in the container's library.

Hopefully that might help resolve some of the issues.
