Compare date from xml data to new Date() in Repeater

Question

Hi All
I am using repeater and while those following 2 display the
same
(when reaching the current day)
<mx:Label text="{new Date().getDate().toString()}"/>
<mx:Label text="{r.currentItem.dayofmonth}"/>
the following line display nothing
<mx:Label
visible="{r.currentItem.dayofmonth==new
Date().getDay().toString()?
true:false}" text="{new Date().getDate().toString()}"/>
Why? and how can I fix this?

Answer 1

Why is it not displaying, because of the text or because of
the visible?
Also, when working with repeater, I advise creating a custom
component and repeat that. Pass in the entire currentItem on a
public property. If you implement the property using getter/setter
function pairs, you can debug the dataflow easily. (note, Property
values are set on a component before its initialize or
creationComplete events fire)
Handlers can access the entire dataProvider item in its
native dataType through the event.currentTarget property.
