The String I'm constructing is inside a PopUp dialog bog. I set it from another
component a la:
private function createAcct():void {
acctDialog.acctName = accountName;
PopUpManager.addPopUp(acctDialog,this as Canvas,true);
}
The accessor methods for acctName look like this:
private var _acctName:String;
public function set acctName(s:String):void{
acctName = s;
}
[Bindable]
public function get acctName():String{
return _acctName;
}
And I set the content.htmlText property in the init() method when acctName is
null. So, I think the solution is to use binding utils in the init() method,
like this:
BindingUtils.bindProperty(content,'htmlText',msgString);
but I think I'm missing an argument in there...i think it needs 4 args.
Thank you very much for your help.
