> c'mon adobe guys! you can do it ;) When we implemented <mx:Repeater>, we considered whether to add conditional tags like <mx:If>. We decided against it on the grounds that it would be confusing about whether these tags worked at compile time or at runtime. We felt that dynamic runtime logic belongs in script, not in declarative syntax. - Gordon

OTOH, the ideal way would be to create a custom component that implements IRepeater so that containers don't add it, and then play with createChildrenFromDescriptors and such. i just gave the latter a try and got it kinda working, but it would take toooooooooo much time to make it work with bindings and stabilize it. i give up. c'mon adobe guys! you can do it ;) best, Aldo On 5/31/07, Aldo Bucchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:aldo.bucchi%40gmail.com> > wrote: > Hi Guys, > > Has anyone flirted with the idea of creating MXML > conditional-structure components that can be used to dynamically > generate interfaces?? > > just to be more graphical... something like this > > <mx:Repeater id="rep2" dataProvider="{rep1.currentItem.elements('*')}"> > > <foo:If condition="[EMAIL PROTECTED]'super'}"> > > <foo:SuperLabel text="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> > > <foo:Else> > > <mx:Label text="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> > > </foo:Else> > > </foo:If> > > </mx:Repeater> > > it just makes a lot of sense... > any ideas???? > > best, > Aldo > > > -- > ::::: Aldo Bucchi ::::: > mobile +56 9 8429 8300 > -- ::::: Aldo Bucchi ::::: mobile +56 9 8429 8300
