RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to invalidate ViewStack Pages

[Gordon Smith]

There is no function on the child pane that is called when the ViewStack switches to it. All the ViewStack does is bring that child to the front. But if you write a handler for the ViewStack's "change" event, it will get called every time selectedIndex or selectedChild changes. So you can do something like this:   <mx:Script>     private function changeHandler(event:Event):void     {         if (viewStack.selectedChild == pane1)             pane1.name = "Gordon";     }                </mx:Script>   <mx:ViewStack id="vs" chage="changeHandler(event)">     <mx:Canvas id="pane0">         ...     </mx:Canvas>     <mx:Canvas id="pane1">         <mx:TextInput id="name"/>     </mx:Canvas>     </mx:ViewStack>   If each pane were a component with a reinitialzie() method that you wrote, you could simplify this so       <mx:ViewStack id="vs" change="vs.selectedChild.reinitialize()">         ...      <mx:ViewStack>   But using databinding is even easier.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jlentz2112 Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2006 2:59 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How to invalidate ViewStack Pages   How do you reinitialize a pane? Is there some function that is called everytime you switch to a new child? I'm wanting to pass an object into a child each time I call it, so I need someway to have a function called automatically when a child is switched to, so I can reinitialize and use the data just passed in.
