Thanks for your help on this. It's frustrating when "good practices"
don't work so good. LOL

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Passing
Const to custom component error
I wish badly that you were correct, but alas, I fear not.
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?

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.
Overall the code
is fine.
