RE: [flexcoders] refering to an MXML element in an event handler

[Iko Knyphausen]

Here is a little example... watch the control walk the walk while you are typing...   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">       <mx:Script>             <![CDATA[                   import flash.events.Event;                                     public function myChangeHandler (e:Event) : void                   {                         e.currentTarget.x +=10;                   }             ]]>       </mx:Script>       <mx:TextInput x="27" y="27" text=""  change="myChangeHandler(event)"/> </mx:Application>     From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark Piller Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 6:18 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] refering to an MXML element in an event handler   Suppose I have the following MXML declaration: <mx:Canvas id="id0" x="37" y="41" > <mx:Text x="25" y="10" text="Some Text" added="addLabel(this)" /> </mx:Canvas> Notice in the "added" handler I use "this" hoping that the scope of "this" is the actual Text element. My thinking is incorrect and the debugger shows that "this" refers to the top level container (the one defined in the same MXML page). So my question is: is there a way to refer to that Text element *without* assigning an id to it. I assume the following would work, but it is really not ideal for my use-case: <mx:Canvas id="id0" x="37" y="41" > <mx:Text id="myText" x="25" y="10" text="Some Text" added="addLabel(myText)" /> </mx:Canvas> Thanks, Mark __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
