Odd, actually I have to call it in both places in its entirety, then it works
fine. If I call the display from the double click, then fill from the complete,
it misses the selected.
But if I call it from both it works fine.
So if I do this am I always running it twice or just on the first go round then
its "Complete" ??
private function displayLoca():void{
applicationScreens.selectedChild = locaScreen;
locaName.text = locaGrid.selectedItem.NameCol;
locaField.text = locaGrid.selectedItem.FieldCol;
locaSquare.text = locaGrid.selectedItem.SquareCol;
...........etc etc.
Flex is Soooooo coooooool :)
