Greetings! I was wondering if or how it would be possible to access a tag's attributes at constuction time. Or must you always just use the initialize="" to start using the attributes after an object is constructed?
Here is a simple example of test.mxml and Wiget.as to illustrate what I'm trying to get at: <!-- test.mxml --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns:local="*" > <local:Widget id="widget1" attrib="foo" initialize="widget1.initWidget();" /> </mx:Application> // Wiget.as class Widget extends mx.containers.HBox { import mx.controls.*; public var attrib:String; public function Widget() { Alert.show("this.attrib="+this.attrib + "\r" + "attrib="+attrib,"Constructor"); } public function initWidget():Void { Alert.show("this.attrib="+this.attrib + "\r" + "attrib="+attrib,"Initialize"); } } The first alert box should show both as undefined, while the second will give you the value of the attribute attrib="foo" TIA
