Hmm, unfortunately it sill doesn't work. Code snippet looks like this: <ri:DateChooserEx id="cal" > <highlight> <mx:Array> <mx:Number>1</mx:Number> <mx:Number>14</mx:Number> </mx:Array> </highlight> </ri:DateChooserEx>
The compiler complains that the property highlight "is not a known type or a property of de.richinternet.controls.DateChooserEx". Internally, the class uses a private member _highlight and a getter/setter pair called "highlight" that works on the _highlight member - so all ahould be fine. Seems as if the compiler is looking for a public member "highlight" instead when using the above syntax. BTW: my custom component is not a SWC but a MXML component so I am not quite sure if the typed Array issue fits here?

For example, if your custom SWC has a labels property which is typed Array, do not use data-binding in the MXML as shown below: <yourSWC labels={myArray}/> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ var myArray=["cat", "dog", "bird"]; ]]> </mx:Script> The problem is that Flex instantiates the SWC before data binding occurs. Instead, you define the the array using the <mx:Array> tag, as the following example shows: <yourSWC> <labels> <mx:Array> <mx:String>cat</mx:String> <mx:String>dog</mx:String> <mx:String>bird</mx:String> </mx:Array> </labels> </yourSWC> Thank you, -Yukari -----Original Message----- From: Matt Chotin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 10:05 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Bindings and custom properties OK, sounds bug-worthy. Can you send a bug report into [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your class and an example of how it doesn't highlight along with your workaround? Thanks, Matt -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Eismann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 4:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Bindings and custom properties I already tried doLater() but to no effort - even after the doLater call the inner controls don't seem to be finished. My workaround right now is to set up a timer with setInterval that after a few ms calls the highlightDays() method.
