Bind function to AppEvent (SFV)

HaroldBostic — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 11:38:40 GMT

Hello, I want to Bind a function in Banner.mxml to the AppEvent raised when the status is changed, however, my function is never invoked. I have tried this:
[Bindable(event=AppEvent.SET_STATUS
private function flashStatus(status:String):void
{
trace("Well What do we have here")
}

I have also tried the above function without any parameters, neither of which works
Any assistance would be gladly appreciated

Harold,

I don't think you should be look at binding. Why not just add an event listener

SiteContainer.addEventListener(AppEvent.SET_STATUS, flashStatus);
private function flashStatus(event:AppEvent):void
{
trace("Well What do we have here")
}

That's probably what I'll do but wanted to try out binding if I could have gotten it to work

Thanks
