You need ri:highlight instead of just
highlight. Property tags should match the namespace of the class declaration
tag.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Bindings
and custom properties
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?
Dirk.

I think I've already logged the bug for this (bug
#84502) and it is
addressed in the doc in Creating Custom Components
in Flash section as
follow:
If your custom SWC has properties typed Array, do
not use data-binding
to supply initial values
for that array properties. 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,

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

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.
