I'd bind both sets of elements to the same dataproviders and that should keep them synchronous without any extra work on your part.
Databinding via dataproviders has, for me anyhow, been really a good thing. Use it. It's not like the bad-old VB 1.0 days when it had promise but was totally frustrating. IT seems to work in Flex. 1. Design visuals. 2. Make objects that contain the data you want to display 3. Bind the objects to the visuals via dataproviders 4. Write some code to fill out the object and the UI will work. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Skinner Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 11:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Synchronizing data between viewStack elements When a user clicks on a container built with repeated array collection elements in one viewStack layer, the selected element needs to be utilized to populate the data in a second viewStack layer and vice-a-versa. Conceptually how does one do this? Do I set some type of global variable|pointer or pass the objects from one view to the other somehow or can one view layer be aware of another's data? I suspect this is not a detailed enough description, please feel free to ask questions to help me describe the specifics.
