First thanks for all your help guys. I'm making nice strides learning
this language quickly.
I'm working with events now. I created an arrayCollection to capture a
query from coldfusion. I have the data being dumped into this variable
just fine (I can do a combobox on it and see all of it). Now what I
want to do is set some variables based on these items. I created an
event to watch the arrayCollection which would run a function to reset
the variables automatically. Here's what I did:
This is all within a singleton class...
Created the [Bindable]acUser array collection
[Bindable] public var acUser:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
Created an init() function to set up the event handler:
private function init():void
{
acUser.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,
acUser_collectionChange);
}
Created a function to set the variables if the event hit:
private function
acUser_collectionChange(event:CollectionEvent):void
{
strEMail =
ObjectUtil.toString(acUser.getItemAt(0).strEMail); (not sure if this
call is correct -yet-)
trace(strEMail);
}
Modified the header for the page to run the init() function
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
creationComplete="init()"
xmlns="*"
xmlns:controllers="com.cfgenerated.controllers.*"
xmlns:login="com.cfgenerated.views.login.*"
layout="absolute"
currentState="NotLoggedIn">
This should be all I need to do, right?
When I push the data into the singleton:
GlobalVars.instance.acUser = event.result as ArrayCollection;
The event does not fire. Any ideas?
TIA!
