Re: [flexcoders] implementing init() in subclass

[JesterXL]

I never figured that out.  What I do is use the contructor in my init, so:   function initYourCanvas() {   }   And then, in your Canvas' attributes, do:   initialize="initYourCanvas();" ----- Original Message ----- From: Kristopher Schultz To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 5:36 PM Subject: [flexcoders] implementing init() in subclass I'm trying to create an MXML component that is a subclass of <mx:Canvas>. I would like to provide my own implementation of mx.core.UIComponent's init() method so that I can set some default values for my custom component properties. However, when I try this (as illustrated below) I get the following odd error:        line 52     The member name, init, may not be repeated more than once.    line 85     The member name, init, may not be repeated more than once.     My code looks like this...     51  public function init() :Void 52  { 53      super.init(); 54      // Use default property values if necessary. 55      if (selected == undefined) 56      { 57          selected = false; 58      } 59  }     Note, this code is all inline in my MXML file. My <mx:Script> block ends at line 62. Line 85 is in the middle of my MXML tags!   What is really causing this error? How do I resolve it? Is overriding the init() method not the best approach for setting default property values?     Kris   --   Kristopher Schultz Developer   Resource Interactive p: 614.410.2123 www.resource.com   Yahoo!
