> could you put your init() method call in a setter? No :-) Actually, these [Inspectable] parameters and their setters are not a *functional* part of component. I mean that, if it's created via code (using constructor), [Inspectable] parameters are not used. However, if user has the component in Flash IDE and set anything in component properties/inspector, they should work.
for now, I found a solution: I put my init() in ENTER_FRAME listener and then remove this listener :-) I just wanted to be sure that there's no solution more elegant than mine.... > On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 10:27 AM, Gregory N <greg.gousa...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Yes, as allandt suggests, you should provide a default value for > > constructor param > > Unfortunately, it's not the only problem with components (at least in CS3) > > For me, the worst one is about [Inspectable] parameters (and their > > setters). > > As described here > > http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=1181 > > setters are called lo-o-ong AFTER constructor > > And, even if I set my init() as listener for ADDED_TO_STAGE event... > > setters > > are not called before it :-( > > > > Any advice to determine the exact time setters are called? > > > > > > On 1/27/09, allandt bik-elliott (thefieldcomic.com) <alla...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > > > > > > you can put the default value into the parameters in the constructor so: > > > > > > > > > package { > > > import flash.display.MovieClip; > > > import flash.text.*; > > > public class MyButton extends MovieClip{ > > > public var buttonLabel:String; > > > > > > public function MyButton (buttonLabel:String = "GO"){ > > > > > > this.buttonLabel = buttonLabel; > > > btnLabel.text = buttonLabel; > > > } > > > } > > > } > > > -- -- Best regards, GregoryN ================================ http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
