Hello Flashcoders,
Let's say I have two files, myApp.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
applicationComplete="EntryClass.main()">
<mx:Panel>
<mx:VBox id="myChart" width="900" height="300" />
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
and EntryClass.as:
package {
public class EntryClass {
public static function main():void {
myChart.graphics.drawRect(100,100,100,100);
}
}
}
Why does "mxmlc myApp.mxml" complain with this error message:
quote:
/path/to/EntryClass.as(4): col: 7 Error: Access of undefined
property myChart.
myChart.graphics.drawRect(100,100,100,100);
^
According to devguide_flex3.pdf:
"The IDs for all tags in an MXML component, no matter how deeply
nested they are, generate public variables of the component being
defined. As a result, all id properties must be unique within a
document. This also means that if you specified an ID for a component
instance, you can access that component from anywhere in the
application: from functions, external class files, imported
ActionScript files, or inline scripts."
I thought perhaps this would work:
package {
public class EntryClass {
public static function main():void {
var mxmlApp:Application = Application(Application.application);
mxmlApp.myChart.graphics.drawRect(100,100,100,100);
}
}
}
but mxmlc complains about this with:
/path/to/EntryClass.as(7): col: 15 Error: Access of possibly undefined
property myChart through a reference with static type
mx.core:Application.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve
