Re: [flexcoders] Accessing variable inside of component from application scope (New to Flex)

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,

You need to cast

var ticketViewer:TicketViewer= TicketViewer(PopUpManager.createPopUp( this,
TicketViewer, true));
ticketViewer.ticketID = 2;

Peace, Mike

  Hi there,

I have a TitleWindow component called "TicketViewer" that starts
with this:

---------------------
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="684"
height="556" cornerRadius="15" title="Ticket Contents"
borderColor="#f4f4ff" showCloseButton="true" alpha="1.0"
backgroundColor="#ffffff" close="closeTicketViewer()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

public var ticketID:int = 0;
----------------------

From the main mxml file, I'm creating an instance of the TitleWindow
with:

var ticketViewer:IFlexDisplayObject = PopUpManager.createPopUp( this,
TicketViewer, true );

My question is, how do I access the ticketID variable inside of the
ticketViewer object from the main application? Intuitively, I thought
it would be:

var ticketViewer:IFlexDisplayObject = PopUpManager.createPopUp( this,
TicketViewer, true );
ticketViewer.ticketID = 2;

Unfortunately it seems that such is not the case!

Thanks again.
Alex
