Using Flash Builder (Flex 4 SDK) I want to controll my application in an external class, just to make code more organized.

I want to access a button (or any other component)  and change its enabled status to disable, for example.

My application MXML looks like

[code="xml"]

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<s:Application
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">

<s:layout>
<s:BasicLayout/>
</s:layout>

<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import myClass;
protected function myButton_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
myClass.myFunction(this);
}
]]>
</fx:Script>

<s:Button id="myButton" label="Click Me"
click="myButton_clickHandler(event)"/>
</s:Application>

[code]

and my external class looks like:

[code="as3"]

public class myClass
{
public static function myFunction(application:Object):void{

// disable the button
application.myButton.enabled = false;
}
}

[code]

this way you can access all the components of your mxml application.

Although English does have some reflexive verbs forms (“enjoy yourself”), German relies much more on the reflexive than English does. The grammatical term reflexive simply means that a verb’s subject (the initiator of an action) is the same person as that verb’s object (the person acted upon). The object “reflects” back to, or is a “reflection” of the subject. “We are enjoying ourselves” is a reflexive phrase. “We are enjoying them” is not—because the subject (we) is not the same person as the object (them). The word “reflexive” means the same thing in English and German grammar, but as we said, German uses reflexive verbs much more frequently.

When to Use Them?

German cases are four: the nominative case (subject of the sentence); the accusative case (the direct object); the dative case (the indirect object), and the genitive case (possessive).
Cases are not something strange to English, pronouns for example use a certain kind of cases, for example we say “he speaks”, and “give him” and not “give he”, did you see how “he” became “him” in the second example, well the same thing happens in German, the only difference is that in German it’s much more widely used, not only in pronouns, even nouns/ adjectives/ articles … use the same thing. The German case indicates the role of an element in a sentence Read the rest of this entry »

Introduction

Most world languages have nouns that are either masculine or feminine. German, besides capitalizing  all nouns, goes them one better and adds a third gender: neuter. The masculine definite article (“the”) is der, feminine is die, and neuter is das. German-speakers just seem to know whether Wagen  (car) is der or die or das. (It’s der Wagen.) And they also know that the other German word for car is das Auto. But when referring to cars by brand name, it’s always der Ford, der VW or der Mercedes. Read the rest of this entry »
