Hello, I have two child components, RecordList (has datagrid in it) and UpdateMember (has form in it). When I click on a record in the datagrid inside the RecordList component, I would like to have the information populate the form in the UpdateMember component. Each record in the datagrid is a Member object returned from a CFC. Although I have no errors, the event is not being received by the UpdateMember component. Here is what I have:
RECORDLIST COMPONENT The datagrid: <mx:DataGrid id="membersList" dataProvider="{memberArrayCollection}" height="100%" width="100%" change="processRecordSelection()"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="lastName" headerText="Last Name" /> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="firstName" headerText="First Name" /> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="userName" headerText="User Name" /> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="password" headerText="Password" /> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="email" headerText="Email" /> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> The function: public function processRecordSelection():void { var o:ObjectDataEvent = new ObjectDataEvent(membersList.selectedItem, "dgSelectedMember", true); dispatchEvent(o); } The event: <mx:Metadata> [Event(name="dgSelectedMember", type="events.ObjectDataEvent")] </mx:Metadata> UPDATEMEMBER COMPONENT The functions: //called by creationComplete public function init():void { parent.addEventListener( "dgSelectedMember", receiveDGResultHandler ); } private function receiveDGResultHandler():void { Alert.show('Event signal from datagrid received!'); } CUSTOM OBJECT EVENT COMPONENT package events { import flash.events.Event; public class ObjectDataEvent extends Event { public var data:Object; public function ObjectDataEvent(data:Object, type:String, bubbles:Boolean) { super(type, bubbles); this.data = data; } override public function clone():Event { return new ObjectDataEvent(data, type, bubbles); } } } Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you, James
