Try this maybe: package { import flash.util.trace; import flash.display.Sprite;
public class MXController extends Sprite { public function MXController () { var f:AppTest = new AppTest(); f.addEventListener ("creationComplete", creationComplete); //addChild (f); <-- do this } protected function creationComplete (event:Event):Void { event.target.txt_input.text = "bar"; } } } Another method would be to extend AppTest rather than making it a child of MXController; not sure what the purpose of MXController is so this might not even help, but I'll post it anyway: package { import flash.util.trace; public class MXController extends AppTest { public function MXController () { addEventListener ("creationComplete", creationComplete); } protected function creationComplete (event:Event):Void { txt_input.text = "bar"; } } } // <MXController /> I haven't actually tested these... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tiago Vale Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 9:32 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 and mxml Hi List, Heres what Im trying to do.
