We're not an interpreted language and don't have eval(). The best you can probably do is something like:
this[_stackName].selectedChild = this[_stateName] ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of timgerr Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 8:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Pass Variables and then run a command Hey all, I am new with flex, coming from JavaScript and perl. I am writing an application that will have lots of MXML components like a login component, register component and many more. The problem is I am trying to have all the components talk to each other, I am having trouble doing that. This is my problem, I have a viewStack and I created a method like this private var _stackName:String; private var _stateName:String; private var _runStackChild:String; public function ChangeState(stackName:String, stateName:String)void { _stackName = stackName; _stateName = stateName; _runStackChild = _stackName + ".selectedChild = " + _stateName ; _runStackChild; } <mx:Button id="btnOne" click="ChangeState('vsTop','register'); So when I click the button the mothod ChangeState is called and passed are the 2 variables. At the end ChangeState should run the command vsTop.selectedChild = register; If I clear the method and just add vsTop.selectedChild = register;, the stack is changed, but when I run _runStackChild; nothing hapends. What am I missing??? Thanks, Timgerr
