Thanks alot for your help. I think its resolved, however I still have
some questions as to why.
In the cairngorm store model, they do things differently, calling an
attribute they set in everything, called selectedItem.
I changed that in my model to selectedShip, so I am not sure why it
works in thier model, and not in mine.
Also why do I have in the grid object a target.event.selectedItem
value? That makes now sense.
So literally what I have to do, (as I can now see tracking this with
debugging) is, first set the selectedShip attribute equal to the
event.target.selectedItem attribute, which frankly I have no idea
where it even is coming from. Then selectedShip gets set to that, then
without using a cairngorm event, (unlike the cairngorm store which
uses and event and dispatcher to update the model) I instead, just in
the click function update the model and set model.selectedShip =
selectedShip (from the grid).
If anyone can tell me where selectedItem is coming from, and why using
the cairngorm event does not work I would appreciate it. What am I
doing that different from the cairngorm 2 store model?
Here is the functioning code:
The body which imports the grid and details panel:
<mx:VDividedBox x="0" y="0" height="415" width="978">
<ships:shipGrid id="ShipListDataGrid"
ships="{ model.ships }"
selectedShip="{ model.selectedShip }"
select="model.selectedShip = event.target.selectedItem" />
<ships:shipDetails shipSelected="{model.selectedShip}" />
</mx:VDividedBox>
The grid:
<mx:DataGrid xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
width="978" height="190"
creationComplete="getShips()"
dataProvider="{ ships }"
change="updateSelectedShip( event );"
dragEnabled="true" selectedIndex="0">
...
the function for the click event that fires the model update:
public function updateSelectedShip( event : Event ) : void
{
selectedShip = event.target.selectedItem;
model.selectedShip = selectedShip;
}
