RE: [flexcoders] Finding all TextInputs in a Panel

[Andrew Trice]

Or you could use a "for-each" loop to loop over the children:

 

for each ( var child : * in panel.getChildren() )

{

if ( child is TextInput )

            {

                        //do something

            }

}

for...in iterates over properties.  Unless you've subclassed the panel
and gave each TextInput child its own variable, then this won't give you
a Container's children.  What you want is to iterate over the children: 

for (var i:int = 0; i < panel.getChildren().length; i++) {
   var child:DisplayObject = panel.getChildAt(i);
   if (child is TextInput) {
      // do something useful
   }
}

This will only work if the TextInputs are direct children of the panel.
Otherwise things will get a bit more tricky.

I would like to find all the TextInputs in a Panel but when I do a for

for (var 0:Object in panel){
Alert.show(o.toString());
}

Can someone give me a pointer.

Thanks,
