Hi guys, I have successfully used this technique to invoke callLater from a non-UIComponent, and it was suggested in this thread: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/49612
And I have since then seen this method used in the Framework as well.. It works for me in one case, but not in others. Here is the code I am using that is not having the 'refreshQuery' called later. Note that this code is being called from a "bindSetter" binding method in this class. That shouldn't make a difference right? What else could cause the function to never be called? The function is an override from a base class...? I can step into the UIComponent.callLater() function and see the event listeners being added to the system manager for the next RENDER and ENTER_FRAME events... but it never gets called... thanks for any help, I really need to solve this one somehow. Thunder // UIComponent needed to use callLater() private var myCallLaterComponent:UIComponent; private var _myQueryValid:Boolean = true; public function invalidateQuery(event:Event=null):void { if (_myQueryValid==true) { // switching from true to false // call the refresh function later. if (myCallLaterComponent == null) { myCallLaterComponent = new UIComponent(); myCallLaterComponent.systemManager = mx.core.Application.application.systemManager; } myCallLaterComponent.callLater(refreshQuery); } _myQueryValid=false; } -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
