Degrafa Bezier spline bind data to string

Question

Hi,

I want to insert a bezier spline into my Canvas by this code

<mx:Canvas 
id="graphCanvas" 
width="100%" 
height="100%" 
preinitialize="preInit()"
/>
<BezierSpline id="mySpline" graphicsTarget="{[graphCanvas]}"  data="points"

verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0" >

points is a string I initialize in the preInit() method

[Bindable]public var points : String;
private function preInit() : void {
  points = "200,100 200,300 100,300 300,500 500,300 400,300 400,100";
 }

But when I now build the project no spline is drawn on my canvas whereas directly integrating the data in the mxml works

<BezierSpline id="mySpline" graphicsTarget="{[graphCanvas]}"  data="200,100 200,300 100,300 300,500 500,300 400,300 400,100"

verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0" >

Can someone help me? I need to dynamically change the data of the spline. Also answers that handle it programmatically are welcome as I do not really know how to redraw the spline on my canvas by code (don't know how to use the draw() method of the spline).

Thanks in advance

This code works for me:

[Bindable]
private var points:String;
private function preinit ():void
{
    points = "200,100 200,300 100,300 300,500 500,300 400,300 400,100";
}

<degrafa:BezierSpline id="mySpline" graphicsTarget="{[graphCanvas]}" data="{points}">
    <degrafa:stroke>
        <degrafa:SolidStroke weight="2" color="#0000FF"/>
    </degrafa:stroke>
</degrafa:BezierSpline>
