Does anyone have information on the various metadata tags that can be
used in flex. I've been going through some of the source files to find
out a way of getting my custom component to tell a model to update
itself.
Some of the tags I've seen that I don't know what they do are
[DataBindingInfo]
[DefaultBindingProperty]
[DefaultTriggerEvent]
I've seen others but I won't to list everything here.
I've searched Livedocs and I can't find somewhere where all the tags
with explanations are listed.
Also if someone knows about models being updated can you advise on the
below problem
If my model is
<mx:Model id="requiredFields">
<theForm>
<all>
<name> {
name.text } </name>
<birth> {
DoB.selectedDate }</birth>
</all>
</theForm>
</mx:Model>
<myValidator:FormValidator id="formValidator" source="{requiredFields}"
property="all"/>
When I call the validator the information it gets from the
model is the text from the text input which is updated everytime the
user changes the said text input, but the date comes from a custom date
entry component and the model doesn't get the latest date from the
component. It would seem like the binding isn't working or my custom
component isn't firing of the required events for the model to update
itself when the user changes the date.
I've tried getting my custom component to fire of the following events
[Event(name="change", type="flash.events.Event")]
[Event(name="valueCommit", type="mx.events.FlexEvent")]
As well as making the getter function for selectedDate [Bindable], but
the model still doesn't pick up on any changes after the component has
been initialised.
Cheers for any info.
Kenneth.
