Flex bind class property to mxml component

Question

Hello,

Is is possible to bind class properties to mxml components ? E.g.: I have a class A.as with a String property nameValue. What I want to achieve is always having the latest value of a mx:Text component in nameValue.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Sure, just do this (assuming Flex 3 from your use of the mx namespace):

<MyComponent ns="whateverNSyourclassisin">
    <ns:A id="myInstanceOfA" />        
    <mx:Text id="myTextField" text="foo" />
    <mx:Binding source="myTextField.text" destination="myInstanceOfA.nameValue" />
</MyComponent>
