Re: [flexcoders] odd script error - undefined property

[Shannon Hicks]

If you want to set a default value, your code needs to look like this:
public var foo:String = "Hello World"

Otherwise, you'll need some type of even handler:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml 
<http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml>" layout="absolute" 
creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public var foo:String;
public function init():void {
   foo = "Hello World";
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>

I am getting this error on that second line in the script:
"1120: Access of undefined property foo."

??? Any ideas? Haven't I already defined the variable "foo"???

Thanks,
