Hey people, I posted a bug over at the flex jira (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-11755) but I probably should have run it by here first.
If I nest repeaters, and assign dataProviders in the repeater tag, it works as expected. However if I deplay the assignment of the dataProvider, i.e. creationComplete, the inner repeater doesnt execute at all. Does that sound like a bug to you guys? If so, how responsive are they to their public jira? example (I modified the repeater example at the component explorer): [Bindable] private var dp:Array = [1, 2, 3, 4]; [Bindable] private var dp2:Array = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']; private function init():void{ brokenRp.dataProvider = dp; brokenRp2.dataProvider = dp2; } ------------------------------------------ <mx:Repeater id="brokenRp" > <mx:Button height="49" width="50" label="{String(brokenRp.currentItem)}"/> <mx:Repeater id="brokenRp2"> <mx:Button height="49" width="50" label="{String(brokenRp2.currentItem)}"/> </mx:Repeater> </mx:Repeater>
