[flexcoders] Re: disabling effects

[Tom Sobut]

Thanks for the response.  You got me around that roadblock.  Here's how I've 
implemented it in my Cairngorm-based app in case someone else is looking for a 
similar 
solution:

In the mxml component containing the viewstack with effects on the children, I 
added an 
observe function:

        <util:Observe
                source="{ model.thisView }"
                handler="{ viewStateChange }" />        

This will watch for changes in the modelLocator indicating if this component is 
in view or 
not.

On a change, the handler just sets and clears the effect as Manish suggested.

                private function viewStateChange():void
                {
                        if (model.thisView == ModelLocator.THISVIEW_VIEW1)
                        {
                                panel1.setStyle("hideEffect", rotateDown);
                                panel2.setStyle("hideEffect", rotateUp);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                panel1.clearStyle("hideEffect");
                                panel2.clearStyle("hideEffect");
                        }
                }

Works great.

Thanks again Manish.
