Hi Nate, The id property of mxml components just tells the compiler what to name the instance variable when it generates the actionscript code. So, your mxml object with id "item1" can be referenced in script as simply item1:
item1.htmlText = "TEST"; Search the archives for more info; there are some really good posts on this topic direct from the Adobe folks. --- In [email protected], "Nate Pearson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am calling a webservice to get text for an item(RichTextEditor) that > I am adding dynamically. > > If i set the ID of the rte to "item1" how do I reference that in my > webservice handler?
