I'm having problems with a binding issue. I'll dumb down my component a bit in hopes to make this easier. I have a component, MyComponent, based on Canvas. This Canvas has objects placed around in it and some effects base on what the user clicks. The dynamic part is that there is one spot in MyComponent where I can pass in an object for display.
code snippet of MyComponent: <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.core.UIComponent; [Bindable] public var itemComponent : UIComponent; private function init() : void { if ( itemComponent != null ) { addChildAt(itemComponent, numChildren); } } So you can see I'm simply adding what ever I give to itemComponent as the last object. That works just fine and when this is rendered I see MyComponent as well as my dynamically added component. Here is the problem. I'm adding a VBox with a Repeater that has it's dataProvider bound to an ArrayCollection. When I modify the bound ArrayCollection the view in MyComponent does not change. I moved the VBox outside of MyComponent to make sure that it was behaving correctly and it is. Changing the bound ArrayCollection changes the VBox. As soon as I place it back into MyComponent, it does not change any more. Here is a code snippet of how I am creating MyComponent in mxml: <comps:MyComponent width="100%"> <comps:itemComponent> <mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:Repeater id="myRepeater" dataProvider="{myList}"> <mx:Text text="{String(myRepeater.currentItem)}"/> </mx:Repeater> </mx:VBox> </comps:itemComponent> </comps:MyComponent> Any advice on how to have the changes to the VBox (based on {myList}) update in MyComponent would be appreciated. Thanks, Dale
