AS3 hide textInput from DateField

Question

is there a way to hide textInput from DateField in Action Script 3 ? show result with only the icon. with modifying the property textInputStyleName="textInputStyle" CSS :

.textInputStyle {
width : 0px ; //OR
display : none ;
} 

Answer 1

You can hide the TextInput of your DateField component using mx.core.mx_internal like this :

var text_input:TextInput = date_field.mx_internal::getTextInput();
    text_input.visible = false;

You can also use a button to show a DateChooser component instead of a DateField.

Hope that can help.
