Peter, Alex,
I'm having problems with this issue, since I think there's no reference to
flash.events.Event (I was already aware of this restriction) in my
modifications in TextInput, so all should be FlexJS events
(org.apache.flex.events.Event). A similar example is in CheckBox component.
What I'm trying to do is make TextInput to throw "change" events when user
type a character (a classic Flex use case). In SWF the type coercion is
thrown.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.events::Event@1093d2f71 to org.apache.flex.events.Event.
Note: In JS updating the input text does nothing, although enter key is
performing the change and running changeHandler method in final app (I
suppose due to EditableTextKeyboardController)
Mis changes are basic. In TextInput.as, add the following lines:
[Event(name="change", type="org.apache.flex.events.Event")]
...
private var _strand:IStrand;
public function set strand(value:IStrand):void
{
_strand = value;
model = UIBase(_strand).model as ITextModel;
model.addEventListener("textChange", textChangeHandler);
}
public function textChangeHandler(event:Event):void
{
dispatchEvent(new Event("change"));
}
what do you think about it?
Thanks
