I replaced components with freedCom for both the namespace and directory names.  Compiled and passing a const into the FreedTextLabel still results in a null value, while passing in a plain string value of "Name" works.  Even passing a binding to a variable such as ls="{someVar}" where someVar is set to the const will result in a null value being displayed. I did a bit of debugging though and discovered this.  If I pass it a simple string value, the setter gets fired.  If I pass it a reference to a var or const, the setter doesn't fire.  Maybe the var reference doesn't register as a true value assignment and thus doesn't fire/trigger the setter? -Tom2 On 9/11/06, bjorn.schultheiss <bjorn.schultheiss@qdc.net.au> wrote: It's te components namespace you set in the component. The compiler doesn't like xmlns:components="apps.common.components.*" not sure why, perhaps components is a reserved word?!? Using getters and setters is good practice for use within components.
