[Arp] Flex component states

[Peter Hall]

Yes, you can have states inside custom components. And I know exactly what 
you have done...

<ns:MyComponent xmlns:ns="my.package.*"
                 xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
>
    <mx:states>
    </mx:states>
</ns>


Something like that?

That would produce the error you describe.

The problem is, you are thinking of the mx namespace as being the "built-in 
stuff". But, even though the states property is orginally declared by 
UIComponent in the Flex framework, it is inherited by your component, and 
belongs in the namespace of your component's package, just like any other 
property of your component.

Thus,

<ns:MyComponent xmlns:ns="my.package.*"
                 xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
>
    <ns:states>
    </ns:states>
</ns>

Hi List,



I’ve been playing around with Arp and AS3/MXML. I looked at the pizza
example that came with the most up to date version to see how to implement
ARP in flex.



I’m now starting my own application. I’ve created my views in MXML and have
started to bind them to as3 classes e.g.



<appView:EditViewClass xmlns:appView="org.pcimage.view.*"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">



The problem I’m having is that I have different view states in my MXML and
when I try and compile my application I keep getting the following error
‘Error: Could not resolve <mx:states> to a component implementation.’.



Can anybody tell me if you can have states in a component which you’ve
extended?



Regards



Colin.
