Re: [flexcoders] Add reference in MXML without adding to children

[Scott - FastLane]

Mark -

You should be able to do something like the following in your mxml file: 
(you could also construct the titleWindow in a creationComplete() 
handler after simply decarling it as a member var.)

  <mx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
      private var titleWindow:TitleWindow = new TitleWindow(...);

     ]]>
  </mx:Script>

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to create a reference in MXML 
(so that you can later use it as a variable and also easily use 
bindings) but not add it to the parent's children?

 

i.e.

 

<mx:Canvas>

 

            <mx:Script>

            Private function someEvent()

            {

                        PopUpManager.addPopUp(titleWindow);

            }

            </mx:Script>

 

            <mx:TitleWindow/>

</mx:Canvas>

 

I don't want the title window to be shown inside the canvas, I just 
want to create it as a variable.

 

Thanks,
