RE: [flexcoders] modellocator and double bindings

[Moishe Groger]

Binding seems to take even if local controls haven't been created yet.  So if you're double-binding is between a null control and an always-available model locator, the values in the model locator should be corrupted before the control is created.   On the other hand, if a local variable is used the double-binding doesn't acually start binding into the model until the local controls are created.   Moishe Groger From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Knudsen Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 11:06 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] modellocator and double bindings Ok, before the big hoorah relase of FB 2 and cairngorm2 I had a app that has a few forms in it bound to a VO hanging out in the modellocator. I used double bindings to display and update values in the VO like this <mx:Binding source="{mymodel.myVO.homeAddress.address1}" destination="txtAddress1.text" /> <mx:Binding source="{txtAddress1.text}" destination="mymodel.myVO.homeAddress.address1" /> <mx:TextInput width="100%" id="txtAddress1" /> things worked swell. Then came the update to Flez 2 and cairngorm and teh above double binding attack bombs. The txtAddrss1 input box is diplayed empty and gets updated as empty too. Yuk! THe approach I have found to work is to use a local var as a pointer and bind to it. wierd. So this works [Bindable] localAddy: Address = mymodel.myVO.homeAddress; <mx:Binding source="{localAddy.address1}" destination="txtAddress1.text" /> <mx:Binding source="{txtAddress1.text}" destination="localAddy.address1" /> <mx:TextInput width="100%" id="txtAddress1" /> Any thoughts? -- Douglas Knudsen http://www.cubicleman.com this is my signature, like it? __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
