Binding is the only way to "declaratively" set up expressions that get evaluated.
You can use script as well: <mx:Label id="foo" initialize="foo.text=value + anotherValue"/> ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kramus0 Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 2:04 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] String concat in MXML (with using @Resource) Hi all, I have a simple question regarding text values in mxml files. Is it possible to concat string values in a mxml text or label property? So something like this: <mx:Label text="'Value' + 'AnotherValue'"/> I know that it doesn't work because it uses it as a hole string and the single strings are not concatenated at all. But it works if I use data binding instead <mx:Label text="{BoundValue} + {AnotherBoundValue}"/> Are there any other possibilities for string concatenation? I even would like to know if there is any possibility to use string concatenation using the @Resource directive. Because here even data binding doesn't work and I don't want to use ResourceManager etc. just to add a simple colon to the resource string for instance. So maybe there is something that works. Thank for your help. Markus
