from flex 3 to flex 4 FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication

abukhan — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 14:14:05 GMT

I moved my application from flex 3 to flex 4..

I had in flex 3:
<MaxRestorePanel xmlns="com.DragPanel.*" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:tool="Components.*"
horizontalCenter="0"
width="100%"
x="{(mx.core.Application.application.width / 2) - (this.width / 2)}" y="{mx.core.Application.application.MainPanel.y}"
title="Loan Search"
creationComplete="loanfilterInit()"
>

In Flex 4:
I changed it to :
<MaxRestorePanel xmlns="com.DragPanel.*" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:tool="Components.*"
horizontalCenter="0"
width="100%"
x="{(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.width / 2) - (this.width / 2)}" y="{FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.MainPanel.y}"
title="Loan Search"
creationComplete="loanfilterInit()"
>

I got the following error:
Access of undefined property FlexGlobals

How should I change from mx.core.Application.application to FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication
as suggested by the Flex 4 compiler?

Abu,

Did you import mx.core.FlexGlobals; or try mx.core.FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.width

I replaced mx.core.Application.application with mx.core.FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication
and now I get this warning :

-Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to "topLevelApplication".

Abu,

Not is not a uncommon warning and is completely harmless just ignore it.
