Thanks for your responses.
What I mean is that in the 1st case:
content.htmlText = "<b>The account " + this.acctName + " has been created</b>."
...the message comes out to be: The account null has been created. However, I
can use the debugger to see that acctName is definitely being set correctly.
And in the second case:
[Bindable]
private var msgString:String = "<b>The account " + this.acctName + " hasbeen
created </b>.
content.htmlText = "{msgString}"
...the message comes out to be: {msgString}
Now I'm not setting 'msgString' right away. I build it in the setter for
acctName, as in:
[Bindable]
private var msgString:String;
public function set acctName(s:String):void{
_acctName = s;
msgString = "<b>The account " + _acctName + " has been created </b>"
}
[Bindable]
public function get acctName():String{
return _acctName;
}
I'm pretty sure this should be working and I must be missing something small.
Thank you for your help, it's very appreciated.
