Re: [flexcoders] Re: Passing Const to custom component error
I found the error. Trying to make the code more legible for the group, I stripped some tags from around the custom tag. In my orginal post, I had this: mx:Spacer height=30/ components:FreedTextLabel id=nameTextLabel ls={
ScreenLabelConstants.NAMEINFO_LABEL} /When in reality, I have this: mx:Spacer height=30/ components:FreedHBox components:FreedTextLabel id=nameTextLabel ls={
ScreenLabelConstants.NAMEINFO_LABEL} / /components:FreedHBoxThe FreedHBox code looks like:?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?mx:HBox xmlns:mx=
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml width=100% horizontalAlign=center /mx:HBoxThat HBox implementation is wrong, because it works just fine if I replace it with HBox.
I replaced that mxml component with a custom as class that extends HBox and it works just fine.StrangeThanks for all your help Bjorn.-Tom2

I would be suprised if you cannot use them in setting
values in mxml.
Try an even simpler test.
I'd help more but i'm at work now.
Will be another 10h hours until i get home and back into
Flex :P

I wish badly that you were correct, but alas, I fear not.I replaced
components with freedCom for both the namespace and directory names.
Compiled and passing a const into the FreedTextLabel still results in a null
value, while passing in a plain string value of Name works. Even
passing a binding to a variable such as ls={someVar} where someVar is set to
the const will result in a null value being displayed. I did a bit of
debugging though and discovered this. If I pass it a simple string
value, the setter gets fired. If I pass it a reference to a var or
const, the setter doesn't fire. Maybe the var reference doesn't register
as a true value assignment and thus doesn't fire/trigger the setter?

The problem is that it won't work. No data gets passed to my custom

constant value? Or because I'm using a setter/getter on the var
receiving
the reference?
