Hi, Chiel.
Could you post some of the code from your <myClass> tag whose
constructor wasn't being called? afaik, the no-args constructor should
have been called; is there a possibility of a typo (or incorrect
capitalization) in the constructor name? Also, make sure that your
constructor isn't declared with a return type -- otherwise it's not
really a constructor and won't be called!
Your <mx:Script> code isn't working because all statements have to be
inside of a method -- try this instead (note the change of "myClass" to
"MyClass" -- capitalization of class names is strongly encouraged in
AS):
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var myInstance: MyClass;
private function createMyClassObject(): Void
{
myInstance = new myClass();
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
Then, to get createMyClassObject() to be called when your form's
elements are finished being created, add
creationComplete="createMyClassObject()"
as an attribute to your root MXML tag.
HTH.

Subject: [flexcoders] Constructor not called when calling <myClass>
Hi all,
I am pretty new at Flex and working on my first project.
I read some Macromedia tutorials and in one of them they created their
own CalculatorHandler-class and instantiated this through a
<CalculatorHandler> tag in the main mxml file.
I tried something similar by building my own class and found out the
constructor is not called at all when i instantiate it with a <myClass>
tag.
I need this constructor to be called to initialize some of the
properties of my class.
I also tried this code:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
var myInstance = new myClass();
]]>
</mx:Script>
but then i get some compilation error "a class's instance variable may
not be initialized to compile-time constant expressions".
Can someone tell me how to create an instance of myClass ?
Thanks in advance,
Chiel Pauw
