Judah Frangipane edited comment on FLEX-35010 at 5/25/16 12:26 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- This appears to be an error in the ButtonBarButton class of the Flex SDK. If we fix the ButtonBarButton class it should fix this issue. When the data property on a ButtonBarButton instance is set it is dispatching a generic flash.events.Event with the string parameter of "dataChange" like so: {code:ActionScript} public function set data(value:Object):void { content = value; dispatchEvent(new Event("dataChange")); } {code} The ButtonBarButton class expects a mx.events.FlexEvent for "dataChange" events: {code:ActionScript} [Event(name="dataChange", type="mx.events.FlexEvent")] {code} So the ButtonBarButton data setter should be dispatching a mx.events.FlexEvent like so: {code:ActionScript} dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE)); {code} instead of the current (line 194): {code:ActionScript} dispatchEvent(new Event("dataChange")); {code} I'm not able to create a patch at the moment but changing the above code to use mx.events.FlexEvent should fix it. *RichTextEditor Workaround* As a workaround to get the RichTextEditor to work you can remove the dataChange listeners on each of the ButtonBarButtons in the spark.skins.richTextEditorClasses.AlignToolSkin class. You will probably have to copy the skin class into your project in the same package and location as in the Flex SDK (called monkey patching) and then make the following changes: Before: {code:xml} <fx:Component id="firstButton"> <s:ButtonBarButton skinClass="spark.skins.spark.ButtonBarFirstButtonSkin" dataChange="toolTip=data.toolTip"/> </fx:Component> {code} After: {code:XML} <fx:Component id="firstButton"> <s:ButtonBarButton skinClass="spark.skins.spark.ButtonBarFirstButtonSkin"/> </fx:Component> {code} was (Author: flexcapacitor): This appears to be an error in the ButtonBarButton class.
