I have a form that has several dynamically-created children. I'm
having trouble using getChildByName() to retrieve data from them.
Specifically, I create several VBoxes, and in each of those VBoxes I
create children (a label and either a textInput, ComboBox or
CheckBox). Obviously, the TextInput that I'm trying to get the data
from is a child of the VBox, not the 'this', right? So it should be
something like 'this.VBox.textInput' right? So I'd getChildByName
the VBox first, then use the result of that to getChildByName the
TextInput that's the child of the VBox, right?
Well, it's not working. when I try to this.getChildByName() the
VBox, I get null instead.
Here's my code, in case I haven't confused you enough. It fails with
a 'cant access property of null object' or something like that.
public function resetFormHandler(): void {
var tempVBox:VBox;
var tempTextInput:TextInput;
var tempComboBox:ComboBox;
var tempCheckBox:CheckBox;
for (var i:int = 0; i<demoList.length; i++) {
if (demoList[i].type == "TextInput") {
tempVBox = this.getChildByName("vbox" +
demoList[i].name) as VBox;
tempTextInput =
tempVBox.getChildByName("input" + demoList[i].name) as TextInput;
tempTextInput.text = "";
}
}
}
