The databinding notation x="{posBox*2}" binds x to the value posBox*2 so
that x automatically updates when posBox changes.If you don't want this to happen, you can't use the databinding notation. Instead, set the x position in the initialize or creationComplete handler: <mx:Box id="myBox" creationComplete="myBox.x = posBox*2"/> This will set x once, when the Box is created. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of negttid Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 3:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] need call-by-value instead of call-by-reference hello Flexcoders, i have a problem with a variable, which is automatically updated, but i don't need that. How can I just use the VALUE of that variable and no REFERENCE??? Example <mx:Box id="myBox" x="{posBox*2}" .../> I initialize this with posBox = 3 Now I want to do: posBox = 5; // this already effects myBox, which I want to avoid! How? myBox.x=(posBox*2+3); // NOW I want to effect myBox! Every idea welcome!
