There are some problems in your code: 1) addEventListener(..) expects second argument as function reference but in your case you are calling a function(goToScreen(..)) while subscribing to event and function return value is Void, so events are not subscribed properly.
2) You are trying to subscribe the same "click" event from three different places...Which doesn't make sense. Look at the following code, I have modified it to fit your requirement. ##ModifiedCode## <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; height="100%" width="100%" > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function goToScreen(event) { var button:Button = event.target; var selectedIndex:Number = mainViewStack.selectedIndex; var totalScreens:Number = mainViewStack.numChildren; if(button == nextButton) { selectedIndex = (selectedIndex < totalScreens - 1) ? ++mainViewStack.selectedIndex : (mainViewStack.selectedIndex = 0); } else if(button == backButton) { selectedIndex = selectedIndex > 0 ? --mainViewStack.selectedIndex : selectedIndex; } mainPanel.title = statusLabel.text = "screen" + (selectedIndex + 1); switch(selectedIndex) { case 0: backButton.visible = false; nextButton.label = "Next"; break; default: backButton.visible = true; } } ]]> </mx:Script> <!-- Main Panel (mainViewStack=0) --> <mx:Panel id="mainPanel" title="screen1" width="100%" height="100%" styleName="mainPanel"> <!-- Main ViewStack --> <mx:ViewStack id="mainViewStack" width="100%" height="100%"> <!-- mainViewStack.selectedChild=screen1 --> <mx:VBox id="screen1" label="screen1" width="100%" height="100%" > <mx:Text text="This is screen1." width="100%"/> </mx:VBox> <!-- mainViewStack.selectedChild=screen2 --> <mx:VBox id="screen2" label="screen2" width="100%" height="100%" > <mx:Text text="This is screen2." width="100%"/> </mx:VBox> <!-- mainViewStack.selectedChild=screen3 --> <mx:VBox id="screen3" label="screen3" width="100%" height="100%" > <mx:Text text="This is screen3." width="100%"/> </mx:VBox> </mx:ViewStack> <!-- End Main ViewStack --> <!-- The Control Bar --> <mx:ControlBar> <mx:HBox width="50%" horizontalAlign="left"> <mx:Label id="statusLabel" text="screen1" width="200"/> </mx:HBox> <mx:HBox width="50%" horizontalAlign="right"> <mx:Button id="backButton" label="Back" click="goToScreen(event)" visible="false" /> <mx:Button id="nextButton" label="Start" click="goToScreen(event);" /> </mx:HBox> </mx:ControlBar> </mx:Panel> <!-- End Main Panel --> </mx:Application> -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of face7hill Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2005 6:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] sending arguments to addEventListener I'm trying to create a wizard based application. I'm having trouble sending arguments to my "back" and "next" buttons using addEventListener. Basically, when my app loads, in the viewstack, the second screen is loaded, i.e. it loads before the user gets a chance to hit the next button. I'm trying to have it load the first screen and then go to the second screen after the user presses the next button. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; height="100%" width="100%" > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function initialize(screenx){ switch(screenx){ case screen1: mainPanel.title = "screen1"; statusLabel.text = "screen1"; backButton.visible = false; backButton.label = "Back"; nextButton.label = "Start"; nextButton.addEventListener( "click", goToScreen(screen2)); break; case screen2: mainPanel.title = "screen2"; statusLabel.text = "screen2"; backButton.visible = true; backButton.label = "Back"; nextButton.label = "Next"; nextButton.addEventListener( "click", goToScreen(screen3)); break; case screen3: mainPanel.title = "screen3"; statusLabel.text = "screen3"; backButton.visible = true; backButton.label = "Back"; nextButton.label = "Next"; nextButton.addEventListener( "click", goToScreen(screen1)); break; } } function goToScreen(x){ mainViewStack.selectedChild = x; } ]]> </mx:Script> <!-- Main Panel (mainViewStack=0) --> <mx:Panel id="mainPanel" title="" width="100%" height="100%" styleName="mainPanel"> <!-- Main ViewStack --> <mx:ViewStack id="mainViewStack" width="100%" height="100%"> <!-- mainViewStack.selectedChild=screen1 --> <mx:VBox id="screen1" width="100%" height="100%" creationComplete="initialize(screen1);"> <mx:Text text="This is screen1." width="100%"/> </mx:VBox> <!-- mainViewStack.selectedChild=screen2 --> <mx:VBox id="screen2" width="100%" height="100%" creationComplete="initialize(screen2);"> <mx:Text text="This is screen2." width="100%"/> </mx:VBox> <!-- mainViewStack.selectedChild=screen3 --> <mx:VBox id="screen3" width="100%" height="100%" creationComplete="initialize(screen3);"> <mx:Text text="This is screen3." width="100%"/> </mx:VBox> </mx:ViewStack> <!-- End Main ViewStack --> <!-- The Control Bar --> <mx:ControlBar> <mx:HBox width="50%" horizontalAlign="left"> <mx:Label id="statusLabel" text="" width="200"/> </mx:HBox> <mx:HBox width="50%" horizontalAlign="right"> <mx:Button id="backButton" label="Back" click="" /> <mx:Button id="nextButton" label="Next" click="" /> </mx:HBox> </mx:ControlBar> </mx:Panel> <!-- End Main Panel --> </mx:Application> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
