Ok, it behaves kinda like a binding, but instead of just putting some value
into a property, it calls a specified function.  In that function, you can
do whatever you need.

  Look into the singleton data model. In such a case, you would do:
  
  1. in the source module, MyModel.getInstance().id = myTextInput.text;
  2. In the target module, text={ MyModel.getInstance().id }

 i've read it but modules are created at runtime so i would have a

 how can i achieve the commuication between modules..for example a

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Modules Communication

2009-03-03 Thread Tracy Spratt 
If you don't want to set up a full blown communication manager, you could do
this:

1)   dispatch a *bubbling* event from your source module

2)   Set up a listener at the main application on this
(this.addEventListener.)

3)   Have the handler for that listener re-dispatch the event

4)   In your target module, set a listener on
Application.application.addEventListener

 

However, setting up a singleton data model would be almost as simple.

I'm not sure, maybe since modules are independent swf's, but that is way
more complicated than necessary.

 

Look into the singleton data model.  In such a case, you would do:

1.  in the source module, MyModel.getInstance().id = myTextInput.text;
2.  In the target module, text={ MyModel.getInstance().id }
3.  Or use a changeWatcher if you need to take programmatic action when
