RE: [flexcoders] Accessing methods in nested components

[Gordon Smith]

It doesn't HAVE to be cast. It will execute fine without it, if the _expression_ is correct. But casting will enable the compiler to catch an incorrect _expression_ and also make it execute faster, because looking up properties and methods on a non-dynamic type is faster than looking them up on a dynamic one.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Pascal Schrafl Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 2:15 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Accessing methods in nested components   Hello Gordon, Thanks for the hint. I will try this. I didn't know, that the parentDocument must be cast, because I use it also (parentDocument.currentState='') and there it works. I will try it and give you a feedback, if it solved my problem.
