Timgerr, your code is assigning the value "vsTop.selectedChild =
register" to the String _runStackChild, but the expression statement
_runStackChild;
doesn't cause this string to execute... it simply causes the Player to
evaluate this (trivial) expression, which doesn't accomplish anything.
It's like writing
var s:String = "Hello";
s;
Alex showed you one approach, but it's probably a more complicated
solution than you need. Rather than specifying things like
which-viewstack and which-state by name, you should be specifying them
using object references. For example, you could simply write
<mx:Button id="btnOne" click="vsTop.selectedChild = register"/>
or, if you really want a helper method like ChangeState(), do this
<mx:Button id="btnOne" click="ChangeState(vsTop, register)"/>
public function ChangeState(vs:ViewStack, state:Container):void
{
vs.selectedChild = state;
}
Also, you seem to be using instance vars needlessly when you could
simply use local vars.

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]

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
