Maybe your TextInput objects have not been created at the time your
setting your data.
Try this instead:
private function displayLoca():void{
applicationScreens.selectedChild = locaScreen;
locaScreen.selectedItem = locaGrid.selectedItem;
}
And something like the following in your "edit component":
private var _selectedItem:Object;
public function set selectedItem(o:Object):void{
_selectedItem = o;
if (_selectedItem) callLater(updateInputs);
}
public function get selectedItem():Object{
return _selectedItem;
}
private function updateInputs():void{
locaName.text = _selectedItem.NameCol;
locaField.text = _selectedItem.FieldCol;
locaSquare.text = _selectedItem.SquareCol;
}
HTH.
