ASTRA TimeInput
TimeInput is a user interface component for Flex that allows the user to input a time value. This control include fields for hours, minutes, seconds, and AM/PM. Styling options allow the time to be presented in 12- or 24-hour formats.
Getting Started: TimeInput for Flex 3
Similar to other Flex components, you can create a TimeInput by creating an instance with MXML or by using ActionScript to create an instance dynamically.
Initializing an TimeInput with MXML
Similar to other Flex components, you can create an TimeInput with MXML. First, you must import the yahoo namespace for the Astra Flex controls. Simply add xmlns:yahoo="http://www.yahoo.com/astra/2006/mxml" to your application or MXML component declaration.
To programmatically set the text of the TimeInput control, use the value property. It accepts a standard ActionScript Date object.
To see a live example, please install Adobe Flash Player version 9 or higher.

Initializing an TimeInput with ActionScript
Alternatively, you can use ActionScript to instantiate an TimeInput control. Be sure the import the TimeInput class first, then simply create an instance and add it to the display list using addChild().
Like in MXML, you can set the value property using a Date object.
