Re: [flexcoders] Debug driving me crazy

I had something similar once, due to the fact that I thought I was 
including a certain AS3 file but was , in fact, using SWC code instead.

So perhaps your code isn't coming from the place you think it is.

Help.

After fighting this for several hours, it suddenly cleared up and the
non-existent variable didn't show up and the real one did.

 

But then the next feature struck.

This assignment seems to work...

  outData.resPotentialTopMsg =
langE.resultPassBenefitLabel;

 

looking in debug mode outData does have the proper value.  It points
to:

private var outData:ResultData = ResultData.getInstance();

 

in the component I am binding controls to 

public var getData:ResultData = ResultData.getInstance();

DHSclasses:AutoResizableTextArea 

  id=resultPotentialTopLabel 

  text={getData.resPotentialTopMsg}

  tabIndex=20

  styleName=labelStyle

  autoResize=true 

  wordWrap=true 

  width=50%

  editable=false

  textAlign=right 

  paddingRight=0 

  borderVisible=false 

  paddingTop=2/

 

The first time through this seems to work.  After that nothing appears
on the form.

 

1)  Can I change the textAlign from the script (external to this
component) and how do I do it?

2)  Can I step in debug in the form?

I think this problem can be filed under dumb programmer.  I found
repeating function attached to an updateComplete that would execute
every time the component was opened which is what I needed.   In there
was an early attempt to hide one of the two text areas at the top of the
code.  I removed it and it seems to be working.

 

Sorry to waste anyone's time.
