Outputting selecteddate as number in flash

Hi there,

I'm using flash datechooser component to create a diary in director. The flash part allows users to select and date which is then passed to director which subsequently shows you the corresponding diary entry.

In flash I can easily pass the month and the date by setting the text of these members..
month.text = eventSource.displayedMonth;
year.text = eventSource.displayedYear;

and then sending via geturl. No probs.

But what I need to send is the selected day as a number ie 6

I've tried using selectedDate but this sends a massive sting, ie Monday 3 of October 00 hours blah blah

What I need is a way of getting the selected day, or the selected day as a number ddmmyyyy

I'm not great with flash but pretty competent in director.
