RE: [flexcoders] databinding question

[Rob Rusher]

It’s probably because of the way they are instantiated. dispatchEvent() is a mix-in from UIEventDispatcher.   You might try adding ChangeEvent to the component once it is created. Just a thought.   Hey, I’m at 11 Madison Ave.   Regards, Rob Rusher   RIA Consultant Macromedia Certified Flex Instructor e:[EMAIL PROTECTED] c:303.885.7044 im:robrusher From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Robert Brueckmann Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 4:37 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] databinding question   Quick question...why are these different:   <merlin:ReportingDatesPanel width="100%" height="100%" portfolio="{selectedPortfolio}" />   Versus:   mainContent.createChild(ReportingDatesPanel, "", {width: "100%", height: "100%", portfolio: selectedPortfolio});   When the selectedPortfolio object changes in the main app with the MXML in first example above, the custom component recognizes the change in the selectedPortfolio object and performs the correct action.   If I have the main application dynamically create the custom component with the code in the 2nd example above, if the selectedPortfolio object changes, the dynamically created custom component does not see that change and none of the actions that I want to take place, actually take place.  I’m guessing this is a databinding issue…am I supposed to set the portfolio attribute differently to catch changes in this object when dynamically creating the custom component?   Any help is greatly appreciated.   Thanks, Rob   robert l. brueckmann senior web developer merlin securities 595 madison avenue new york, ny 10022 p: 212.822.4821 f: 212.822.4820   This message contains information from Merlin Securities, LLC, or from one of its affiliates, that may be confidential and privileged.
