This is very similar to what I want to do...so now I need to get the hotfix installed...did you see my other post...any idea why the hotfix installer will not work for me or any of my team?
I also tried unzipping the zip version of the hotfix. This did not update anything of my version numbers that are seen in the help menu. How do I know if the hotfix is installed? The problem that I am hoping it fixes is still not working. --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > <SomeClass id="sc" selectedIndex="{SomeClass.ID2}" > > > <dataProvider> > > <mx:String>Alpha</mx:String> > > <mx:String>Beta</mx:String> > > <mx:String>Gamma</mx:String> > > </dataProvider> > > </SomeClass> > > > > Where: > > > > package > > { > > import mx.controls.ComboBox; > > > > public class SomeClass extends ComboBox > > { > > > > public static const ID1:int = 1; > > public static const ID2:int = 2; > > public static const ID3:int = 3; > > > > public function SomeClass() > > { > > super(); > > } > > > > } > > } > > > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of gary_mangum > Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 9:52 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Custom Attributes > > > > I just tried this with hotfix 2 and it did not work any differently > for me.
