Changin 1 item in Array changes all items Flex 2 beta 2

[Chester Copperpot]

I change one item in my array and it ends up changing all the items in that
array. I originally thought that the array was just string the memory
location, which it may, so I added a blank constructor to my class which should
grab a new chunck of memory but it still is not working correct. Any ideas
would be great.

Pretty sure this fixed it. In my constructor of my class I cast the objects to
get a new chunk of memory. See attached code.

public function DateEvent(... args):void {
if(args.length != 0){
// this.DateEventArgs(args[0], args[1], args[2], args[3], args[4],
args[5], args[6] );
this._name = new String(args[0]);
this._id = new Number(args[1]);
this._startDate = new Date(args[2]);
this._endDate = new Date(args[3]);
this._recurringStartDate = new Date(args[4]);
this._recurringEndDate = new Date(args[5]);
this._frequency = new String(args[6]);
} else {
this._name = new String();
this._id = new Number();
this._startDate = new Date();
this._endDate = new Date();
this._recurringStartDate = new Date();
this._recurringEndDate = new Date();
this._frequency = new String();
}
}

Normally a constructor with optional arguments would be coded like this:

public function DateEvent(name:String = "", id:String = "")
{
_name = name;
_id = id;
}

I'm guessing your original problem was because all your Array elements were
actually referencing the same DateEvent instance. You need each element to
reference a different DateEvent instance. How are you populating the Array?

FROM UR Doubt WHAT I CAN understand is .,
u want to fot the date right?

The example uses the change event l to display the selected date in several
different formats.

main.mxml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

import mx.events.CalendarLayoutChangeEvent;

private function useDate(
eventObj:CalendarLayoutChangeEvent):void {

// Make sure selectedDate is not null.
if (eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate == null) {
return
}

//Access the Date object from the event object.
day.text=eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate.getDa y();
date.text=eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate.getD ate();

month.text=eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate.get Month();

year.text=eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate.getF ullYear();


wholeDate.text=eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate .getFullYear() +
"/" + (eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate.getMonth()+1) +
"/" + eventObj.currentTarget.selectedDate.getDate();

}

<mx:DateChooser id="date1" change="useDate(event)"/>

<mx:Form>
<mx:FormItem label="Day">
<mx:TextInput id="day" width="100"/>

<mx:FormItem label="Day of month">
<mx:TextInput id="date" width="100"/>

</mx:Form>
</mx:Application>

well ,,, the first line of the event listener determines if the selectedDate
property is null. This check is necessary because selecting the currently
selected date deselects it, sets the selectedDate property to null, then
dispatches the change event.
