Change subtitle from the ActionScript code

CraigPlacek — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 14:01:25 GMT

I want to change the subtitle of the viewer during user interaction as they switch from one custom theme to another.
Is it possible to change the subtitle value from the ActionScript code?

Craig,

Be sure to post FlexViewer questions to the Flex Viewer forum.

This is sort of a hack but there is not an exposed way by esri to do this.

Step 1: in the WidgetManager.mxml change line 66 to public from private

public var controlContainer:Group;

Step 2: Call this code from some where

for (var c:int = 0; c < ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.controlContainer.numElements; c++){
     try{
      var hc:* = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.controlContainer.getElementAt(c);
      hc.bannerSubtitle.text = "hello world";
     } catch(error:Error){}
    }
