is there a way to call a function in an included (child) component based on something that changes in the parent?
when you pass data to a component (in a param) and then apply it to a label, if the parent changes the the data changes in the child, works great... but I can't find info on or figure out how to do something in the child based on that param value changing. what am i missing? is there a source? or example that someone could share? thanks, Shane --- In [email protected], "David Terry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thank you Stephen. > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Stephen Gilson > Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 7:17 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Please Help - Components, States, & > Transitions > > > > It is covered in the doc in the chapter on the Application container: > > http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/201/html/app_container_064_09.html > <http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/201/html/app_container_064_09.html> > > > Stephen > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Gordon Smith > Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 6:00 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Please Help - Components, States, & > Transitions > > > > I'm on the Flex framework team in San Francisco.
