Re: [flexcoders] Why this error with getDefinitionByName?

Is this in a SWF that's loaded into another SWF? If so see http://richardleggett.co.uk/blog/index.php/2008/09/08/getdefinitionbyname_vs_getdefinition On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 10:28 AM, enriirne enrii...@yahoo.it wrote: trace(getDefinitionByName('mx.controls::TextInput')); ReferenceError: Error

Also, if you do that in a SWF that doesn't actually *use* the TextInput symbol, the class won't be compiled in. Try adding a reference to TextInput - not just an import, you actually have to have a reference. import mx.controls.TextInput; TextInput; should do it. -Josh 2009/1/16 Howard Fore
