[flexcoders] properties in components..
OK, this is driving me nuts. I'm using Flex Builder 2.01 on a PC. I have a very simple component (say test.mxml), code below, where I set a label value on a button using actionscript. I can get this to compile very simply and we're all happy. As soon as I edit the main application(main.mxml) to include this component: comp:test /comp:test main.mxml is happy but now I get a compile error (access of undefined property) in test.mxml saying that the button id is an undefined property. When I edit the test.mxml code, flexbuilder will happily give me code hints about the properties after I've put in the button id. What's going on? Maybe I just need more coffee?

Re: [flexcoders] properties in components..
The 1st problem is that you can not name your button id x as it is a
reserved word.
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish. If your goal is to be able to
set the label from the main application, you should do something like this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=400
height=300
mx:Script
![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var myLabel:String=jim;
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button id=x1 label={myLabel}/
/mx:Canvas
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
xmlns:local=*
local:Test myLabel=Rich/
/mx:Application

Re: [flexcoders] properties in components..
Hi Rich,
This is just a test case of mine. I want to set the label of the button using
script, inside the component. Forget trying to set it in the main application.
There are no compile errors in the component code (make the id of the button
whatever you wish), until the component is included in the main application.
At that time any reference to the button is not recognised as a valid property
by the compiler, though the code hinting obliges nicely!

In Addition of Rich Tretola solution
here's anothe one.
yours:Component creationComplete=setLabel id=labelfill/
script
public function setLabel():void
{
labelfill.label = my Label;
}

Re: [flexcoders] properties in components..
Hey Paul,
Cool down men. See whenever we write a script in an mxml file you need write
that script in a function.
For example:
Your code was:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
x.label=jim ;
]]
/mx:Script
Put the same thing this way:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
function init() {
x.label=jim ;
}
]]
/mx:Script
and call this function when you load the the mxml on the creationcomplete event
like this:.
this will solve your purpose.
Amol.

Sorry, I guess I should have read all of the followups before posting the
