[flexcoders] Re: cairngorm: calling a function in a view

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

Ideally your pase() method should be on the model, with the view only used to render passed data via databinding the parsed value from the model to the dataprovider of the view.   Regards,   Bjorn Schultheiss Senior Flash Developer QDC Technologies   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jamie O Sent: Wednesday, 8 November 2006 9:57 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: cairngorm: calling a function in a view   I believe Observe / Value is what I want to use for a current challenge, but try as I might, I just cannot seem to wrap my head around it. Hoping someone could take another kick at the cat to explain it in context of the following situation: My component (SWC) is defined inside a view and has a public property that is databound to my modelLocator for it's XML source. When the right data conditions are met internally it broadcasts an addressEvent with all user selected data. <pcall:pcall id="PointofCall" left="10" top="50" postcodeXML="{ModelLocator.getInstance().PointOfCall.postcodeXML}" AddressEvent="AddressEventHandler(event)" /> When the user provides input data, I broadcast a search event and receive the updated XML from the services / delegator. There is a public method - currently titled Update() - in the component to parse the XML and build up it's display accordingly. Within the view I can bind a button to that Update() function and the parsing goes smooth. <mx:Button x="333" y="10" label="Button" click="{PointofCall.Update()}"/> But the problem is that I only know when the data is updated in the onResult method of my command that sent the data off in the first place. How do I - in a command - trigger the method of a component on a view?
