« Return to Thread: getting the xml data from a dispatched event

Re: Re: getting the xml data from a dispatched event

It seems like wherever this code is -

[Bindable]
private var customMeals:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;

//throws error on this line
customMeals.addItem((event.target as mealitem).mealDetails);

event.target is actually the panel containing the 'create meal item'
button, as opposed to the mealitem itself. Can you post some more of
the script and MXML for that part?

The src folder is empty for me too in the ZIP file.
