Padma, First define your component and save it as
“mail.mxm”. By the way, I do use Pascal case names for Components
because they will be transformed into classes and all my classes have a capital
first letter. Example code for mail.mxml: <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="*"> <mx:TabNavigator id="MyTabNavigator" x="0" y="0" width="500" height="300"> <mx:Canvas label="Tab 1" width="100%" height="100%"> </mx:Canvas> <mx:Canvas label="Tab 2" width="100%" height="100%"> </mx:Canvas> </mx:TabNavigator> </mx:Canvas> This is a pretty simple TabNavigator with two tabs. The
TabNavigator class implements the change Event through inheritance from
ViewStack. Make sure your TabNavigator has a value for the id attribute set so
you can reference to the control from within your main application. In your main appication (Main.mxml) include the component as
seen below (<MyComponent:mail id=”MailComponent”/>. All you
have to add is an event listener for the TabNavigator in your component. I do
this in the initialization routine for main application which gets called via
the onCreationComplete event of main.mxml. MailComponent.MyTabNavigator.addEventListener(“change”,
onChange); adds an event listener to the TabNavigator control in the
component. It effectively says that if this component fires the “change”
event, the onChange() method in main.mxml should handle it. The last step is to
define the handler in main.mxml. In the following example
onChange(_e:Event):Void simply traces the change to the console. <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns:MyComponent="*"
creationComplete="onCreationComplete(event);"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function onChange(_e:Event):Void { flash.util.trace("Tab has
changed."); } private function onCreationComplete(_e:Event):Void { MailComponent.MyTabNavigator.addEventListener("change", onChange); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Canvas width="600" height="400"> <MyComponent:mail id="MailComponent"/> </mx:Canvas> </mx:Application> I hope this helps a bit. Ralf Rottmann From: Hi i am using tabnavigator in my mail mxml file.i want to know how
to handle an event dispatched from from a componenent of tab
navigator to main mxml. if any one know tell this it would be helpful padma Enjoy this Diwali with Y! |
