Re: [flexcoders] Accessing a datagrid inside a different viewstate

[JesterXL]

If the View's, and all parents have a creationPolicy (in the case of Containers) to "all", then it will be created.  However, you cannot depend on creation order 100%; you'll end up with a race condition somehwere, and pull you're hair out.  You're best approach is to utilize a ModelLocator approach where you're sub-view, the datagrid, is bound to data inside the view.  This data is exposed as a public property that has the bindable tag (can be a getter /setter [mutator] also).  That way, as soon as the view is created, it has the data it needs.   -- pseduo code --   // ModelLocator class   [Bindable] public var my_array:ArrayCollection;   // main view   import ModelLocator;   <view:MyView someData="{ModelLocator.getInstance().my_array}" />   // sub view   public var someData:ArrayCollection;   <mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{someData}" />   Make sense?     ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Stramel To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 10:59 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Accessing a datagrid inside a different viewstate I have a custom component that I created and I have added it to the main application.  There is a datagrid inside the custom component.  I call the data in the main app, place it in a public ArrayCollection and want the datagrid to display the data.  My problem is that the datagrid is in a different viewstate other than the default view and so I get a null reference error when I try to populate the datagrid from the main app.  Is there a way to force the component to create itself with the main app even though it is in a different viewstate?  Thank you   __._,_.___ -- 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!
