Yes thanks Tracy, I did indeed see your helpful suggestion
I have just given it a go but doesn't seem to be working for me. Here is the
relevant code. Perhaps "title" is a reserved word?
<mx:Repeater id="linkrep" dataProvider="{this.helpRelatedData}">
<mx:LinkButton
label='{linkrep.currentItem.title}'
click="displayHelpTopic(linkrep.getRepeaterItem().title)" color="#0000ff"/>
</mx:Repeater>
And then the function it should call
private function displayHelpTopic(passedTitle:String):void {
mdm.Dialogs.prompt("passedTitle= " + passedTitle);
}
FYI the mdm.Dialogs is just like an alert. It is a Zinc command.

It could just be yahoo, but the yahoo tree tacked this thread onto the end
of "actionscript class in Flex project".
But did you see my getRepeaterItem() suggestion?

Thanks Tracy
Sorry I didn't think I had hijacked any thread - I was under the impression
I had started this thread. Perhaps there was an identical one going on at
the same time?

Paul, it looks like you hijacked this thread? That confuses some readers.
One way to do what you want is to use getRepeaterItem. It is easier thatn
subclassing, etc.
click="displayHelpTopic(linkrep.getRepeaterItem().title)"

Subject: [flexcoders] Passing a property of repeater item
I can't figure out how to pass a property of a repeater item to a function
This is what I am trying but it is not working
<mx:Repeater id="linkrep" dataProvider="{this.helpRelatedData}">
<mx:LinkButton label='{linkrep.currentItem.title}'
click="displayHelpTopic(linkrep.currentItem.title)" color="#0000ff"/>
</mx:Repeater>
Basically I want to pass the value linkrep.currentItem.title but what I have
tried above does not work.
Anyone suggest how I can do this.
The label is displaying correctly.
Thanks in advance
Paul
