RE: [flexcoders] Re: Object name from a mouse click

[Gordon Smith]

You can call getChildAt(i) on a container to get its ith child (where
the first child is i = 0, not i = 1), regardless of whether the children
were declared at compile time or added at run time. So one way to access
the first child in the scripts of any child is as parent.getChildAt(0).

 

It's unusual for one of an arbitrary number of children to need to
access a single sibling. Are you sure you don't want to be doing
something like dispatching an event from one child that all the children
listen for?

Ok, let's say I have a container (VBox) that adds some children to 
itself at the run-time. These children are:
child1, child2, child3.
How can I refer to child1 from the inside of child3?
Is there something like child3.parent.child1 avaialble?

Sorry, that doesn't make sense. objDG isn't the name of the DataGrid,
it's the name of a variable that points to a DataGrid instance. You
could lots of variables pointing to the same DataGrid instance.
Instances don't keep track of the names of variables that point to them.


 

Can you clarify what you're really trying to do from a user's point of
view rather than from a programming point of view?

objDG = new myDG();
I want to know objDG. I have a number of GDs based on the same class. 
Based on objDG I need to run different parts of my code.
