numElements works for me. The problem you found was with $numElements. I think we haven't seen a bug thus far because ContainerBase.$numElements just calls super.numElements which returns the number of elements in UIBase. Usually (always?) there's one component there, which is the internal contentView. ContainerBase.numElements, on the other hand, returns the number of elements in the contentView itself.
In short, $numElements in all scenarios I'm aware of is 1. I suppose a defined function implicitly cast to an int will return 1 as well (haven't tried it). BTW, I see the same problem in ContainerBaseStrandChildren.$numElements and in ListBaseStrandChildren.$numElements. -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-development.2333347.n4.nabble.com/Re-1-2-git-commit-flex-asjs-refs-heads-develop-Fix-not-working-numElements-Fix-failing-internalChildd-tp59183p59288.html Sent from the Apache Flex Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
