Hi,

Thank you for reply.

But this gives me compile time error that -->

Multiple markers at this line:
-1120: Access of undefined property skillGroupsVBOX.
-1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: UIComponent.

In Script: -

            private function clickHandler(item:Object):void {
               
                var cName : String = item.sgname;
               
                item.textDecoration = "underline";
                   
                if(cName == "Grp1"){
                    selectedSkill = 1;
                    spacerHeight = 0;
                   
                   
                }else if(cName == "Grp2"){
                    selectedSkill = 2;
                    spacerHeight = 1;
                   
                }else if(cName == "Grp3"){
                    selectedSkill = 3;
                    spacerHeight = 2;
                   
                }
               
                for each (var component:UIComponent in skillGroupsVBOX.getChilderen()) {
                   
                    repeaterTotalHeight += component.height;
                   
                }
            }

Hi,

Thanks for valuable reply.

Yes, it worked with the way you suggested.

How can I get the text property of repeated text UI elements while in loop?

I have a Vbox which has a repeater that repeates Text UI elements.

Now on mouseOver of a TextUI element, I want to know what is its index in Vbox?

How do I find it out?

Please help.

Thanks,

Amey

Hi,

Thank you so much for reply.

My repeater item is 'LinkButton' and I want to get 'label' property of it.

So what change will be there in-->

     skillGroupsVBOX.getChildIndex(item as DisplayObject); // item must be the Text object return by event.currentTarget

Ah ok. I got what you want to say.

My repeater code is like: -

<mx:Repeater id="rptSkillGroups" dataProvider="{SkillGroups}">
                    <mx:LinkButton label="{rptSkillGroups.currentItem.sgname}"
                                           click="clickHandler(event.currentTarget);"
                                   />
</mx:Repeater>

Now in event handler, to get current labelText, I would write, "item.getRepeaterItem().sgname;" , correct?

Hi Henry,

Thank you for your replies.

It solved my problem.

With regards,

Amey
