Nevermind. I needed to create a new function and add that within that function's body.
It's still not firing the init() function right but I'll play around with it. sj ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 3:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] RE: creationcomplete firing when a component is disabled I've been playing around with this...

Alex meant that you need to call init when you 'manually' enable the canvas. Ie: you have a button where you do: buttonClick(..) { myCanvas.enabled = true ; //Here is the place to put init() } On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 9:01 PM, Scott <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Makes sense, but I tried that already... <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " width="100%" height="100%" enabled="false" creationComplete="init()" > !

Somewhere you probably have code that sets enabled=true, and that code can call init().

On my main page I have a tabNavigator that has several different pages for my app. This navigator is disabled until the user logs in. However, even though the navigator is disabled; it still fires off the creationcomplete which is giving me grief because the data connection hasn't been built yet. Falling short of creating a custom event, is there a way to fire off the init() function when the component is enabled instead of when it's creationComplete?
