Hey thanks for the help! I got it working, but now I'm having a bit of
another problem.
I've created a Datagrid and Accordion dynamically based on my XML (It
creates a Accordion tab per "header" node and then inside of the Datagrid it
puts a DG item for each "Question" node inside of the respective "Header"
node). Now, I'm wanting to bring up text in to a TextBox based on the
selected item of the created Datagrid. Now, I know you would normally do
this via the text attribute of the TextArea being set to something like
"text = {DatagridID.selectedItem.displayText}". However, it seems I'm
having problems identifying the ID of the Datagrid I'm trying to call from.
I've tried setting the Datagrid ID, but since it's not defined at compile
time, it cannot see it as a valid ID to read from if I try to just use it.
The following is the code of the Accordion creation function and I'll mark
where I need the text to be written out. Thanks again!
-------CODE-------
public function buildAccordian(contentArray:ArrayCollection):void
{
var accordian:Accordion = new Accordion();
for (var i:int = 0; i < int(contentArray.length); i++)
{
if(contentArray[i].blnIsHeader == 1)
{
var newCanvas:Canvas = new Canvas();
newCanvas.label = contentArray[i].label;
newCanvas.id = "Tab" + contentArray[i].oID;
newCanvas.width = 600;
newCanvas.height = 400;
DGArray = contentArray[i].Question;
var newDG:DataGrid = new DataGrid();
var newDGCol:DataGridColumn = new
DataGridColumn("Questions");
newDGCol.dataField = "label";
newDGCol.wordWrap = true;
var cols:Array = newDG.columns;
cols.push(newDGCol);
newDG.variableRowHeight = true;
newDG.selectedIndex = 0;
newDG.columns = cols;
newDG.width = 200;
newDG.height = 350;
newDG.x = 15;
newDG.y = 15;
newDG.id = "QDG" + i;
newDG.dataProvider = DGArray;
newCanvas.addChild(newDG);
var newTextArea:TextArea = new TextArea();
newTextArea.width = 350;
newTextArea.height = 330;
newTextArea.x = 230;
newTextArea.y = 35;
if(DGArray != null)
{
*THIS IS WHERE I NEED TO BE ABLE TO
SET THE TEXT BOX TEXT*
newTextArea.htmlText =
newDG.selectedItem.answer; *<---THIS DOES NOT WORK.*
}
newCanvas.addChild(newTextArea);
var newLabel:Label = new Label();
newLabel.text = "Answer";
newLabel.x = 230;
newLabel.y = 15;
newCanvas.addChild(newLabel);
}
accordian.addChild(newCanvas);
}
pageCanvas.addChild(accordian);
}
Thanks again everyone!
