Set a dirty flag in your setter (like childrenDirty = true) and call
invalidateProperties(), then override commitProperties() and check if
your dirty flag is set, if so then add the children in there.

[flexcoders] Where is the right place to add children from a setter?

2008-07-16 Thread Sean Clark Hess
Hi everybody,
I know how to add children to a component doing something like the
following, but I can't help but think there ought to be a better way to do
it.  Perhaps I should be overriding one of UIComponent's methods?  Anyway,
the issue (see link) is that container isn't defined when the setter is
called.  Where is the proper place to actually add the children?
