Have the toolbar dispatch events, like "mainTBSave, mainTBDelete..
Listen for those events in each component that uses the toolbar, and perform the specific action needed by that component+action Tracy Spratt Lariat Services Flex development bandwidth available ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of markgoldin_2000 Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 12:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] generic toolbar I am putting together a form and a toolbar for basic data operations: Save, New, Delete. The toolbar is a separate mxml file (tempEmplMaintToolbar). A fragment of my form looks like this: <mx:FormItem> <tempEmplMaintToolbar id="toolbar"> </tempEmplMaintToolbar> </mx:FormItem> The toolbar code (prototype): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <customToolbar xmlns="modulecode.*" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " width="100" height="300"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ public function saveClick():void { } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Button width="16" height="15" id="newbtn" icon="@Embed(source='../assets/newsmall.png')" toolTip="New"> </mx:Button> <mx:Button width="16" height="15" id="savebtn" click="saveClick()" icon="@Embed(source='../assets/savesmall.png')" toolTip="Save"> </mx:Button> <mx:Button width="16" height="15" id="deletebtn" icon="@Embed(source='../assets/delete.png')" toolTip="Delete"> </mx:Button> </customToolbar> How do I provide a custom code for toolbar's buttons clicks? Or is there a better approach for what I am doing? Thanks
