Question

How can I detect when a user changes a date field – specifically when they TYPE the date as I have set it to editable:

<mx:FormItem label="Assigned" x="220" y="59">
        <mx:DateField formatString="YYYY-MM-DD" id="clinicianAssignedDateInput" editable="true" text="@{this._currentEditEncounter.clinicianAssignedDate}" toolTip="format: YYYY-MM-DD" change="clinicianAssignedDateInput_dataChangeHandler(event)"/>
    </mx:FormItem>

The change event seems to only throw when using the calendar pop-up. It is not thrown when the user manually types in to the field.

I also tried dataChange.

I found something that works – I used the focusOut=”” event.
