The easiest way is to declare a public variable in the class. That becomes a public property of the object. Something like:
class RSSParser public var zipCode:String = "" .... Then rssParser = new RSSParser(); rssParser.zipCode = "30117" You can do a similar thing using getter an setter functions instead of the variable, if you need to take an action when the property is set: Public property set zipCode(value:String):void ... Finally, you can pass parameters into the class in the constructor: rssParser = new RSSParser(sZipCodeVar); Technically speaking, you pass data into an object instance, not a class or a package Tracy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of christopherjdunn Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 5:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Pass a value into a package New to flex and attempting a small Weather app to learn flex. I'm attempting to pass a variable into a package and can't seem to find any info on how to do this. Here is the code from my app that calls the package: public function initApp():void { rssParser = new RSSParser(); rssParser.addEventListener("dataWritten", onDataReceived); } Which works just fine. What I would like to do is pass the text from an input field (zipcode.text) into the rssParser package but can't seem to get this working. Any guidance would be great.
