Re: [jira] [Updated] (FLEX-51) Please check support for ExactValue initializer

Hi

Was just looking into this and creating a few test and I notice that under the current compiler this give a slightly unexpected result:

[Bindable] protected var initial:String = "Hello";

<s:TextInput text="@Once{initial}" />

The initial string value is "@OnceHello". I would of expected it to not compile (or at least a warning) as it doesn't understand @Once.

Binding expression like this are valid, so I assume that what it is going with.

<s:TextInput text="You have {noApples} Apples" />

Anyone think this is a bug? Or that at the very least a warning should be issued?

Thanks,
Justin

Then it looks like the parens are necessary for the compiler to recoganize it as an @-directive, which explains why @Once{...} just did string concatenation.

Hi,

It displays "@Whatever".

Also if you have this:
<s:TextInput text="@Embed"/>

It displays "@Embed".

But both of these:
<s:TextInput text="@Embed()"/>
<s:TextInput text="@Embed(something)"/>

Gives an error.

Thanks,
