RE: [flexcoders] Embedding String Variable in dataprovider name

Ah, you're right. Sorry, I thought that would work. Try 

datProvider="{chartXML2.lastResult.child(month).day}"

Maciek,
 
Thanks for the quick reply.
 
That generates the following errors:
 
Syntax error: expecting rightparen before rightbrace. [Generated code
(use -keep to save):
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before leftbracket
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before destination
 
I put a right paren before it just to see what would happen.  It got rid
of the errors! but it still didnt work :(
 
I was able to get categoryfield and title to accept the  ="{StringName}"
syntax though.   I even tried to replace the entire  dataprovider entry
with a stringname, like so:
 
dataprovider="{stringName]"
 
but that did not work either. 
 
There is a larger problem that led me down this path.  But I'll open
that in another thread as it would still be really cool to figure if I
could do what we are talking about in this thread.

        I'm no e4xpert, but
        
        dataProvider="{chartXML2.lastResult.[month].day}"
        
        should do it.

        Really what I need to be able to do is insert the variable name
        in this:
        
        dataProvider="{chartXML2.lastResult.month.day}"
        
        I need to replace the "month" with a string variable name (i.e
        public
        var monthName = "January";)
        
        I also need to do the same for the categoryfield as it will not
        let me
        do categoryfield=$String.
        
        In PHP this is incredibly easy to do. You just say blah=
        $string . In
        fact, in PHP you can embed variable names everywhere. Its very
        powerful. For instance, in php, for the dataprovider issue
        above, i'd
        just do
        
        dataProvider="{chartXML2.lastResult.$StringName.day}"
        
        and it'd work just fine. Whats the syntax for doing this in
        Flex?
