Yes, as Greg says.
Further, this line is not establishing a binding: story.text = newz.currentItem.story It is a simple assignment. Also, currentItem only exists when the renderer is executing, and not when you are attempting to make the assignment. Note that repeater does not have the concept of a selectedItem, unless you code that yourself.

I think you give the repeated components an id, like myTxt, and then outside the repeater you refer to them as myTxt[0], myTxt[1]. See the FB 3 help sys for more info. --- In flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com, "johndoematrix" <johndoemat...@...> wrote: > > hi am trying to bind a text component to a selected item in a repeater but i get the following error > > Error: Repeater is not executing. > at mx.core::Repeater/get currentItem() > at custom_comps::home/creatednewzPopup() > at custom_comps::home/___LinkButton1_click() > > this is the way am trying to bind it. > > "story.text = newz.currentItem.story;" newz being the id of the repeater. i would like that when someone clicks on an item in the repeater, the text component is bound to the repeaters selected item or for that matter currentItem just like binding a list component to a text input using selectedItem. thanks >
