Hi Raf, item.modelns::name.text(); is a way of accessing the variable name.text() in another namespace (item.modelns). This is far more complicated than it needs to be.
An example: _______________________ components/Example.mxml ----------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; initialize="init()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Text; public var generatedChildren:Dictionary; private function init():void { generatedChildren = new Dictionary(); var child:Text = new Text(); child.text = "I am created dynamically"; this.addChild(child); generatedChildren["childID"] = child; } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Canvas> _________ main.mxml --------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns:cc="components.*" creationComplete="cComplete()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Text; private function cComplete():void { (test.generatedChildren["childID"] as Text).text = "Text from main"; } ]]> </mx:Script> <cc:Example /> </mx:Application> ------------------------------------------- So once you create/add a child in your own component, you add it to the dictionary as follows: generatedChildren["childID"] = child; Then, in any other part you can just use generatedChildren["childID"] to retrieve the object assigned to it. Hope this helps, --Johan P.S. Note that the example is invented while writing this post, so untested and maybe with typo's and such, however I believe this should work ;) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Rafael Faria" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The other thing is that i create all the elements on a formitem > and a form before add to the stage > > I will try to work with the dictionary as well but i was > > hopping you could explain me what does > > item.modelns::name.text(); > > mentioned on the article means. > > > > thanks > > raf > >
