Broken Image Skin

Written by Administrator

brokenImageSkin in Flex

In Flex you have an Image showing a broken image link if you have not set an image on it. How do you get it to not show the broken image link? You do this by setting the broken image skin, you can also sent the broken image skin to null. The mx:Image then does not show the broken image link.

Say you have a Viewstack. You have many MXML classes in that viewstack.
When you hit one of those MXML items you wish to call a method in that MXML item, everytime the MXML item is hit. You also want to call the method from within the MXML itself.

You could try using show in Flex, example below;

ie. Here is one of the MXML classes in the Viewstack. This calls initCongratulationsScreen() method when the MXML class in the viewstack is clicked.
