So, this callback removes the need for those damn ObserverValue nodes in my MXML? Good. 'Cause those things seemed kludgy to me. I had to be careful where I put them or I'd get RTEs. And I always had to reset them -- although we created an Event that allowed us to reset any value in the ModelLocator, but still... I'll try taking a further look at these extensions in a personal project I am working on right now and see if they work for me as well as they obviously work for you.
Thanks for the feedback. Leif On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 9:29 AM, Douglas Knudsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Leif, I hear you, missed the past meeting or two myself.
