RE: [flexcoders] modellocator and double bindings

[Moishe Groger]

I think so, but I wouldn't recommend it as it will make your app seem slower.  Why not use the local variable and just set it to the variable in the model on creation?   Moishe Groger From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Knudsen Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 3:42 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] modellocator and double bindings holy creations batman!  sounds like a good reason.  Now, would adding a creationPolicy="all" to the root application tag address this maybe?

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? -- 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!
