[flexcoders] Re: getting text out of swf in flex
I have a mx:image tag in my flex application that references the swf file. the swf file contains this information. this.createClassObject(mx.controls.TextInput, text1, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:10, _y:10, text:'check this out'}); Inside Flex Builder it actually shows me a box with my swf file that contians the textinput box with the sample text. Below that I have an simple button that when click runs the function: function foo() { flextext.text = text1.text; } then below the button I have another mx:textInput with an id of flextext. It all seems right to me but i seem to be missing something because I continue to get the error that text1 does not exist... Thanks. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Abdul Qabiz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, You mean you have have a separate SWF file which you embedding in Flex app and trying to communicate with Flex components?

Hi, You should try this: function foo() { flextext.text = imageTagID.content.text1.text; } Where imageTagId is reference of Image tag... -abdul -Original Message- From: carmhuntress [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 11:00 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: getting text out of swf in flex I have a mx:image tag in my flex application that references the swf file. the swf file contains this information. this.createClassObject(mx.controls.TextInput, text1, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:10, _y:10, text:'check this out'}); Inside Flex Builder it actually shows me a box with my swf file that contians the textinput box with the sample text.

You're getting the error because the Image component really has no property named 'text1'. What you want is to access the 'text1' property on the Image's content property. alert(image.content.text1.text) See what this displays. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://manish.revise.org/ Yahoo!
