-----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aldo Bucchi Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 6:16 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] databinding question Hi, Databinding is a special beast in flex, and is set up in mxml->as compiling The compiler needs the metadata to figure out what events it has to listen to for each property (or perhaps just use getters setters). It then sets up a complex mechanism of watchers and stuff to make binding happen. This is the reason why it is only supported in mxml for now. If you want the same functionality on runtime you have some choices: - use the old flash binding api ( not possible I assume ) - create your own - wait for as2lib's future release. I'll be donating a quite powerful databinding framework soon (well, not that soon if work keeps me this busy ) it is flex compatible, supports chains and different types of watchers. Best, Aldo PD: Sorry for the delay Simon, I've been busy as hell at work.
