CFCalendar

Is there a way to capture the value of the Calendar month when a User uses the arrows to get to the next month or year?

e.g. User on JULY 2011 month and then moves to August. Is there an unbuilt event that can trigger to capture the month the User moved to?

I need to set some kind fo flag to warn the User.

    I don't know, but I suspect you might be pushing sh!t up hill there.

    Have you considered using a HTML / Javascript based calendar picker, instead of the rather clunky Flash one CFCALENDAR produces?

    CF has a HTML / JS one built in with CFINPUT's datefield, or JQuery will - no-doubt - have a plug-in to do it.

    Using HTML & JS will give you more flexibility than Flash will.  Especially Flash that you have no control over.

    I don't know

    If memory serves, it technically is possible to capture that event by tapping into the underlying flex dateChooser.  But I agree it is really not worth the hassle. Not unless this is a legacy application already using flash forms. For anything else, a javascript calendar would be simpler and offer more flexibility.
