RE: [flexcoders] Watching a class full of bindable properties

There are a few "glitches" with what you propose: First, you cannot create a watcher that monitors all of your properties at once. The binding chain contains a hierachy list of parents and children. The chain is there so that any change on the parents or children will trigger the binding. Your p

ItemRenderers are used for list based controls. When you want to customize the look and feel of buttons, you must do it through their skins. You can use a programmatic skin to do it. However, from your text, I think that what you want to do is actually add an icon to each item in the list shown b

You can actually bind to a variable by also using the BindingUtils.bindProperty() method. You just need to you the "this" keyword. So: BindingUtils.bindProperty(dogNameText, "text", this, "myString"); Don't forget to enclose your variable in double quotes since that last parameter must be a str

An interface is basically a contract between two classes.

So, _textFlow.int
