Hi, I'm working on a project where the user can create multiple product configurations within a single order.
Each "configuration object" holds a variety of data about chosen product attributes, and the configuration objects are placed into an array. In order to display all the configurations, I want to loop over the array, and for each configuration object create an instance of a custom MXML component, passing the new component instance the configuration object to be displayed, and adding the new component as the child of an existing VBox. The custom component contains a lot of Text components and a DataGrid. I know how to create an instance of a base class, like a Button, in ActionScript and make it a new child. But the display of a configuration is complicated enough that it's much easier to do it as an MXML component. Besides, I need to display a single configuration in one area of the application and all configurations in another area. I've done lots of Googling to no avail, and spent a good deal of time with the Adobe docs. While I've probably missed something obvious, is there a way to create instances of an MXML component within an ActionScript function? Or is there a much simpler way to approach the problem? -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560
