Question

i create a form for order a item in flex. i use <mx:TextInput /> for getting the information from client and use a <mx:Button /> for submit the information in database. But client requirements is when user click on button then first show a confirmation page with details information that client give. But can’t use another page or <mx:TextInput /> in this confirmation page, it will be <mx:Label />. After show the confirmation page if clients click on Button then submit the info.

How can i convert a <mx:TextInput /> into <mx:Label /> with all properties in flex? Is it possible?

Answer 1

ViewStack is the most appropriate thing for that, so I agree with lach. You don’t need to use Forms, just use a ViewStack with Canvas containers:

<mx:ViewStack width='100%' height='100%'>
  <mx:Canvas id='edit'>edit controls here</mx:Canvas>
  <mx:Canvas id='view'>view here</mx:Canvas>
</mx:ViewStack>

Than you can control which Canvas should be visible by changing the selectedIndex of the ViewStack.
