There's not enough context here to know for sure, but it's probably a bad sign to be using callLater in any validation method as the point is to validate synchronously. I'm also concerned about how you are using your properties bag on the ClassFactory. I hope you're not changing the values assigned.
Everything should be data-driven (pulling data from data objects). If feels like you're pushing stuff down, instead of pulling. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of markgoldin_2000 Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 3:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Question about commitProperties I have a custom renderer based on canvas that has the following setters: public function set trainId(value:String):void { _trainId = value; } public function get trainId():String { return _trainId; } public function set highlightCurrentHour(value:String):void { _backgroundColor = value; } public function get highlightCurrentHour():String { return _backgroundColor; } public function set xmlModelData(value:XML):void { _xmlModelData = value; } public function get xmlModelData():XML { return _xmlModelData; } then I have: override protected function commitProperties():void { super.commitProperties(); assignBlocks(xmlModelData, trainId, highlightCurrentHour); } and public function assignBlocks(xmlModelData:XML, trainId:String, highlightCurrentHour:String):void { callLater(trainDepartGrid.assignBlocks, [trainId, xmlModelData, highlightCurrentHour]); trainDepartGrid.width = xmlModelData.trainshours.(train_id == trainId).setwidth; callLater(trainReceivingGrid.assignCars, [trainId, xmlModelData, highlightCurrentHour]); trainReceivingGrid.width = xmlModelData.trainshours.(train_id == trainId).setwidth; } I am setting these properties on this renderer like this: ClassFactory(codeDestinationRenderer).properties = {trainId:prop.train_id, highlightCurrentHour:bBackgroundColor, xmlModelData:xmlModelData}; My question is: Is commitProperties is a right place to call assignBlocks? Before I changed my code to this version the program worked much better though. Please help. Thanks
