Hi All,
I need to create a dynamic form which has multiple pages each page
will be displayed in separate tabs and has individual controls. On
submit of a a button i need to trace the data entered in the controls
for each Tab. The numer of Tabs and controls will vary depending on
criteria (reading from an XML).
-----------------------------------------------
Sample xml data below -
<Tab tabid="App_Form_01_Tab_02" name="Tab 2" label="Product
Information" taborder="2">
<Section sectionid="App_Form_01_Tab_02_Sec_01"
name="Contract" orderontab="1">
<Attrtype name="SingleLineofText" defval="This is
single line text" maxchar="35" maxlines="1" inputtype="TextInput"
attrlabel="Attribute 1"></Attrtype>
<Attrtype name="MultipleLinesofText" defval="This is
multi line text" maxchar="" maxlines="4" inputtype="TextArea"
attrlabel="Attribute 2"></Attrtype>
</Section>
</Tab>
<Tab tabid="App_Form_01_Tab_03" name="Tab 2" label="New Tab"
taborder="3">
<Section sectionid="App_Form_01_Tab_02_Sec_01"
name="Contract" orderontab="1">
<Attrtype name="SingleLineofText" defval="This is
single line text" maxchar="35" maxlines="1" inputtype="TextInput"
attrlabel="Attribute 1"></Attrtype>
</Section>
</Tab>
--------------------------------------------------------
I tried developing the above UI by creating custom actionscript
components by extending existing UI components such as
TabNavigator/VBox and added children at each stage until I reached
the actual form control info using which I am creating the controls.
So the child creation is following -
MyTabnavigator->MySectionTabs(VBox)->MySections(VBox)-
>MySectionAttributes(HBox)->TextInput
I have instantiated the MyTabNavigator comp from the mxml using
<MyTabNavigator/> tag. This is displaing the dynamic form the way I
need but now I have to access the text value entered into the
TextInput. I tried to access the TextInput from a method written
within a script block in the main application mxml. I am not able to
do that.
Could anyone please advise me on this.
