Q1: What are the ways to select items in the FlexWheel?

A: The following methods work:

1. Drag while not releasing mouse down.
2. Drag and release motion (speed of you movment determines how many items move)
3. A Single click on a visible item will scroll it to be under the focus bar.
4. Mouse wheel changes while mouse is over the FlexWheel will scroll items (see Q4 for more details)

Q2: How do I set EditableAppointmentWheel to display Date in European formats like - dd/mm/yyyy ?

A: You can set the EditableAppointmentWheel.EditorDateFormat = “whatever format you like”, But

I use the flex Date.parse() to translate date strings to Date() object and unfortunately Adobe decided

Not to support date formats outside the US.

As a solution (as of version 1.*.2) I added an option to pass dateParseFunction, in which you can handle string to date

conversions by yourself. Combined with EditorDateFormat property you

can handle any date format from now on.

For example, in your creation complete or something:

edWheel.EditorDateFormat = “DD/MM/YYYY”

edWheel.dateParseFunction=myParseDate

private function creationComplete():void

{

ed.EditorDateFormat = "DD/MM/YYYY";

ed.dateParseFunction = parseDate;

}

private function parseDate(str:String):Date

{

var arr:Array = str.split("/");

var dt:Date = new Date(arr[2],arr[1]-1,arr[0]);

return dt;

}

Q3: WheelChangeEnd event is not firing, how do I get the events to work?

A: Set the initialValuesArray (see as-docs on how). As of version 1.*.2 they always fire

regardless of the initialValuesArray property.

Q4: Why does the mouse wheel not scroll items when over the FlexWheel?

A: As of version 1.*.2 the mouse wheel scrolls items! However as you can

see in the example application the mouse wheel event is also handled by

the browser if the html page has scrolling. I could not find an immediate

solution for this so the version was released with this known issue.

Hopefully I will solve it next version.
