Hi Doug,
binding is a one way connection. You need to bind in the other
direction as well.
If you instantiate your model with mxml you can use the same syntax as
in your textfields.
<model:RecordData id="record">
<model:firstName>{firstName.text}</model:firstName>
<model:middleName>{middleName.text}</model:middleName>
<model:lastName>{lastName.text}</model:lastName>
</model:RecordData>
Cheers,
Ralf.
