RE: [flexcoders] Referencing components from custom controls

[Randy Martin]

I'm assuming that your main.mxml contains your <mx:Application> tag, so try
this:
 
package mycontrol.container-s
{
import mx.controls.-Alert;
import flash.display.-DisplayObject;
import flash.events.-Event;
import flash.events.-MouseEvent;
import flash.events.-TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.-Timer; 
import mx.core.Application;
.
.
.
public function doSomething(-):void {
Application.application.imgNewMessage.-visible=false;
}

}

HTH,
Randy

Subject: [flexcoders] Referencing components from custom controls



Hello,

I'm a noob in flex. I have no training on it but I try to learn it as 
much as I could.

I think my problem is simple to you guys.

I have this in my main.mxml code

<mx:Image x="204" y="7" source="images/-new.gif" visible="false" 
id="imgNewMessage"-/>

Now, if I reference it in an action script file like so...

imgNewMessage.-visible=false;

it works fine.

But if I try to do that in a custom control, like this

package mycontrol.container-s
{
import mx.controls.-Alert;
import flash.display.-DisplayObject;
import flash.events.-Event;
import flash.events.-MouseEvent;
import flash.events.-TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.-Timer; 
.
.
.
public function doSomething(-):void {
imgNewMessage.-visible=false;
}

}

I'm getting an error. Its like it does'nt know imgNewMessage.

How can I reference it? I thought components are accessible globally.

Hope you guys can help.

Thanks in advance.
