Kevin,
I'll be patching the PromptingTextInput to get data binding working
correctly. I'll do that later tonight probably.
In case you want a solution right now, you can edit the source of
PromptingTextInput.as. Find the part that has the [Bindable] metadata tag
for the text property. Instead of just [Bindable] it should be:
[Bindable("textChanged")]
[CollapseWhiteSpace]
[NonCommittingChangeEvent("change")]
Thanks for catching this.

I am trying to bind from my PromptingTextInput comonent back to a data
model and I am having some trouble. I tried to do it the normal way that I
do it with the TextInput component and it doesn't seem to work. I set up
this example to illustrate what I am talking about. Is there another way to
do this?? Or is it possible to modify the PromptingTextInput to match the
functionality of the TextInput? Thanks, Kevin
