Hi,
Oftentimes I
need to check if a component( for example a TextInput) exists before
populating it with data.
The getChildByName()is
the only method I know of, that can do this.
I wish there was
a getChildById() as well, so I wouldn’t have to set the name for all my
components( could be hundreds )in addition to their id.
[
If the
component( myComponent ) doesn’t exist:
this[“myComponent”]
throws the RE ReferenceError: Error #1069
and
this.contains(myComponent)
doesn’t compile of course
1120: Access of
undefined property myComponentId.
]
I know,
Christmas time is over, no more gifts for us from Adobe:)
Should I put it
on my next flex-xmas list?
Or do you guys
know about other ways of checking the existence of components? Any input would
be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Ondina

a new topic on the Yahoo Groups. I must have done something wrong. Sorry for
any inconvenience I might have caused.
