How to initialize editor?

AmandaHutsel — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 17:08:38 GMT

I'm using the sample code for the Defualt Editor. In the <Application> tag there is the line

initialize="application1_initializeHandler(event)"

I keep getting a debugging message when I start my application and my templates do not show up as well. I am using a view stacks method for showing several different maps, and the edit view is on only one of the views.
This is the error that I get[ATTACH=CONFIG]15770[/ATTACH]

I think that I may need to move the initialize="application1_initializeHandler(event)" line of code, but I don't know to where. Any ideas?

This is something that's bitten me when using ViewStacks. You have to set the the ViewStack's creationPolicy to "all", otherwise, many things that are contained in the stack won't be created at startup. From the help:

Containers with multiple views, such as the ViewStack and Accordion, do not immediately create all of their descendants, but only those descendants that are visible in the initial view. Flex defers the instantiation of descendants that are not initially visible until the user navigates to a view that contains them.
