I've read Amy's FAQ (Q3) and the Flex 3 Cookbook and have attempted to
make the situation below work, but the solution still escapes me.
After reading several other resources, I think I've read too many ways
to skin a cat and now I'm in circles.
I have an ArrayCollection (currentAC) in a main application file in AIR.
(When the user clicks on categories it updates that array with a
selected arrayCollection.)
I'm not sure what this means. Do you have two ArrayCollections? One
w/ the full list and one with a list of "selected" items?
I have a custom item renderer for a list in the main application file.
When someone clicks an item in the list, it seems that scoping within
the item renderer using either:
Application.application.currentAC = this.itemRenderersAC;
would work to update the currentAC array, and as well it seems that
parentDocument.currentAC = this.itemRenderersAC;
would work too, but I can't make that tightly coupled situation work
for some reason.
So...
I move on to the proper, loosely coupled approach with little success
as well. No errors, but no currentAC update.
I tried to dispatchEvent from the itemRenderer and have it be handled
by...anything, and I'm just not getting the syntax or something, and
nothing needs to even be "passed" around, I just need to update an
array with the itemRenderer's Array that has a known array name.
Be sure that your event is set to bubble.
If you could share your itemRenderer code and/or the listener code that
might help debug it.
