[Xerte] Re: List component .fla stuff

Yes, a bit more AS3, and that will seem quite naturally the right thing to do!

Right you are.

And apparently you need to manually dispatch the change as well in order to display the result as if it had been clicked:

For the archives:
list component selected selection index set

function init(initObject){
  for (i = 0; i < initObject.glossData.PAGE.length; i++) {
    glosslist.addItem({label:initObject.glossData.PAGE[i].TITLE[0], def:initObject.glossData.PAGE[i].QUES[0]});
  }
  glosslist.selectedIndex = 0;
  glosslist.dispatchEvent({type:"change", target:glosslist});
}


Cheers,
Dave

I think you are setting the selected index before the init function runs.

I have a list component that loads up some glossary .xml to populate.
When the user clicks an entry in the left pane listing, the definition appears in the right.

On setup It would be nice to have the default selectedIndex at 0, but I can't get it to do that.
Any ideas?


function init(initObject){
  for (i = 0; i < initObject.glossData.PAGE.length; i++) {
    glosslist.addItem({label:initObject.glossData.PAGE[i].TITLE[0], def:initObject.glossData.PAGE[i].QUES[0]});
  }
}

glosslist.selectedIndex = 0;

//Create listener object.
var listListener:Object = new Object();
listListener.change = function (evt_obj:Object) {
  def_string = "<b>" + evt_obj.target.selectedItem.label + "</b><br>ll<br>" + evt_obj.target.selectedItem.def;
  deffield.htmlText = def_string;
}

//Add listener.
glosslist.addEventListener("change", listListener);

stop();
