Thanks Scott.
I managed to get things talking ... somewhat before your reply came in. The
data provider showed the proper data. I did a bit of digging and came up with
the new code shown below. Unfortunately with the new code, if I only need to
update a single field in the DB I must click every DDL and select the value
otherwise the other fields receive NULL values.
Any suggestions?
Here is the newest code:
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var _selectedStatus:String;
[Bindable]
public var _selectedCategory:String;
[Bindable]
public var _selectedStyle:String;
private function statusChanged(e:IndexChangeEvent):void {
if ( _selectedStatus == null ) {
_selectedStatus = originals.status;
}
_selectedStatus = statusDDL.selectedItem.status;
}
protected function categoryChanged(e:IndexChangeEvent):void {
if ( _selectedCategory == null ) {
_selectedCategory = originals.category;
}
_selectedCategory = categoryDDL.selectedItem.category;
}
protected function stylesChanged(event:IndexChangeEvent):void {
if ( _selectedStyle == null ) {
_selectedStyle = originals.style;
}
_selectedStyle = styleDDL.selectedItem.style;
}
// This function use to add or update records in the database
protected function button_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
originals.inventoryno = inventorynoTextInput.text;
originals.title = titleTextInput.text;
originals.price = priceTextInput.text;
originals.status = _selectedStatus;
originals.category = _selectedCategory;
originals.style = _selectedStyle;
originals.edition = _selectedEdition;
originals.subject = _selectedSubject;
originals.height = _selectedHeight;
originals.width = _selectedWidth;
originals.medium = _selectedMedium;
originals.imagename = imagenameTextInput.text;
originals.description = descriptionTextInput.text;
originals.copyrightdate = copyrightdateDateField.selectedDate;
if (originals.originalid==0){
createOriginalResult.token = artServices.createOriginal(originals);
}
else{
updateOriginalResult.token = artServices.updateOriginal(originals);
}
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
// The declarations remain the same as before for each of the lists
// The FormItems <DropDownList/> changed as well. one example below:
</s:FormItem>
<s:FormItem label="Status" styleName="formLabel">
<s:DropDownList id="statusDDL"
labelField="status" styleName="formContent"
skinClass="CustomSkins.CustomDropDownListSkin"
dataProvider="{statusList}"
prompt="{originals.status}"
change="statusChanged(event)"
creationComplete="statusDDL_creationCompleteHandler(event)"
symbolColor="#FFFFFF" borderColor="#c3c3c3"
width="157" color="#000000"/>
</s:FormItem>
