Suppose I have the following MXML declaration: <mx:Canvas id="id0" x="37" y="41" > <mx:Text x="25" y="10" text="Some Text" added="addLabel(this)" /> </mx:Canvas>
Notice in the "added" handler I use "this" hoping that the scope of "this" is the actual Text element. My thinking is incorrect and the debugger shows that "this" refers to the top level container (the one defined in the same MXML page). So my question is: is there a way to refer to that Text element *without* assigning an id to it. I assume the following would work, but it is really not ideal for my use-case: <mx:Canvas id="id0" x="37" y="41" > <mx:Text id="myText" x="25" y="10" text="Some Text" added="addLabel(myText)" /> </mx:Canvas> Thanks, Mark -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
