[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - getrepeaterItem values

[Michael Griffin]

Title: Message





I 
have a small app which passes the reference to a repeater item to an 
editable view.  I have been trying to assign the values from the original 
repeater dataProvider item into a new array that can then be edited without 
affecting the original data until explicitly saved.  The problem is that 
every combination I've tried is still updating the repeater data so I'm pretty 
sure I'm just assigning references instead of copying the values over.  A 
simplified version of the code follows:

  //positionVO has an array of names called 
Successors
  var 
  editablePosition:positionVO;
   
  //currentPosition is the repeater item that got clicked in the main UI 
  
    function 
  setEditableDetails(currentPosition)  {       
  editablePosition.Successors = 
  currentPosition.getRepeaterItem().Successors;    
      //also tried creating editablePosition variable as a 
  new positionVO
      //editSuccessorsList should now be able to have 
  items added to it without adding them to the original currentPosition data as 
  well
      //with this code the repeater view is still bound to 
  editSuccessorList's dataProvider new items are added to both 
  lists
      
      editSuccessorsList.dataProvider = 
  editablePosition.Successors;  
      }   
If anyone can advise on what I'm doing wrong in the previous example 
a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.  
 
Many thanks in advance.
 
Mike
