[UX] Spark DateFieldSpinner
@Maurice ... thanks for your advice ...
Some desktop apps would love to use this component because it has a known
and great user experience [UX]. So ... if it is great ... why not having
one?

RE: [UX] Spark DateFieldSpinner
Posted by Kessler CTR Mark J <ma...@usmc.mil>.
Anything that is a single column list really. So that should include some sort of dropdownlist. So what this means is you'll need a more generic spinner that uses any standard dataProvider. Utilizes labelField and dataField properties. It should be inherited to new child components for specific things like dateSpinner, timeSpinner, booleanSpinner, etc.
BTW spinners don't have to be limited to vertical scrolling, it could scroll horizontally for some things as well.

Which git repository location would be the best place to save the Spark
DateFieldSpinner in, so that, others could work on it, too? Further, is
there an Apache Flex webspace where me or others could upload the Spark
DateFieldSpinner example [1] (or further examples) to?

Please have in mind, to use the keyboard with in the Spark DateFieldSpinner
you need to have a focus enabled SpinnerList which is probably not the
