[flexcoders] textInput databinding

2010-07-15 Thread mark.embrey 
Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, removed the data property from Spark
TextInput.

There is an example of assigning bindable data to a variable for use in
the text value with Flex 4 at  Binding to an MXML TextInput control
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf6\
9084-7d85.html   . I have tried to implement this technique but have
still been unable to get it to work.

When I specify the following:

 [Bindable]
 public var
collection:String={myDataProvider.data.name.[0]};

I simply receive the following in my textInput field:


 {myDataProvider.data.name.[0]}

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might specify a bindable variable
such that it will display as desired ?

(FWIW, this worked like a charm in Flex 3)


thanks!

[Bindable]
public var collection:String = myDataProvider.data.name.[0];

Does that work?
