Quick addition: ANY binding breaks the app, not just binding to my logic components. Binding to a global variable for example, after the threshold point, causes the problem.

Roger if you are monitoring this thread --- We have discovered a sort of "threshold" effect on the systems(2) that exhibit the subject misbehavior. A small test app works fine; we successfully bind logic component properties to UI properties. Then at some point, the next binding we add breaks the app. Specifically, here is what we observe about the problem: * the "missing" (middle) instance is instantiated; we can alert its static properties directly via its id. * the binding between the top and middle components is broken; alerting its static properties through the top component returns undefined * the nested arrays of components(bottom) are NOT instantiated; alert returns undefined for both direct access and through the logical parent * Removing any binding fixes the problem. * Of course the same code works fine on my system. (I guess I have magicked something) I'll update you with any more info I find.

Well. That's pretty bizarre. Some weak ideas and questions: - why are you adding a local subdir to the classpath? Why not use them with a package prefix (i.e. logicComponents.*) - any possibility of nameclash with your components? could your coworker have a different version of some class that is getting loaded? - Turn the <compile-report> flag on in flex-config on both machines, and look for the MyApplication-report.xml file in the app dir. See if there's anything suspiciously different between the two machines. We'll get to the bottom of this! -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Tracy Spratt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 5:30 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex selectively instantiates > my components? > > We are all running our own individual development > environments, so what > I did was to copy "it" (my application folder) to his machine, in the > same location, .../default/flex/MyApplication.
