Push a View by converting a string to a class?

[anixan]

Hi,

I am currently working in Flashbuilder 4.6 creating a mobile application and I wish to push the users to a view by based on the menu item they select. My code below shows how I have tried to convert a string from a selected list item into a class object and then pass that into the parameter for the pushView:

    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.collections.*;            
            import spark.components.SplitViewNavigator;
            import spark.components.ViewNavigator;
            import spark.events.IndexChangeEvent;
            import spark.events.ViewNavigatorEvent;
            import spark.managers.PersistenceManager;
            import spark.skins.mobile.SplitViewNavigatorSkin;
            public var menuAC:ArrayCollection;            
            public var j_array:Array = [{label:"Home", data:"NLView"}, 
                {label:"All Jobs", data:"JList"}, 
                {label:"Company Profiles", data:"SView"}, 
                {label:"Search By Sector", data:"JView"}];
            protected function list_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void
            {
                var selectedItem:String = new String(list.selectedItem.data);
                //trace("Selected Item = " + selectedItem);
                var splitNavigator:SplitViewNavigator = navigator.parentNavigator as SplitViewNavigator;
                var detailNavigator:ViewNavigator = splitNavigator.getViewNavigatorAt(0) as ViewNavigator;
                splitNavigator.hideViewNavigatorPopUp();
                if(list.selectedItem.data == "NewListView")
                {
                    var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(selectedItem) as Class;                    
                    trace("View Class = " + myClass);
                    detailNavigator.pushView(myClass);
                }
                else if(list.selectedItem.data)
                {
                }
            }
            protected function view1_viewActivateHandler(event:ViewNavigatorEvent):void
            {
                if(data.view == "JSFilt")
                {
                    menuAC = new ArrayCollection(j_array);    
                }
                list.dataProvider = menuAC;
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                var splitNavigator:SplitViewNavigator = navigator.parentNavigator as SplitViewNavigator;
                var detailNavigator:ViewNavigator = splitNavigator.getViewNavigatorAt(1) as ViewNavigator;
                splitNavigator.hideViewNavigatorPopUp();
            }
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>

                                    />
            </fx:Component>
        </s:itemRenderer>        
    </s:List>

I have also tried using the following command which also did not work:

var viewClass:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(selectedItem)));

Has anyone got anyidea how to look at a value selected on a list and then use that string name to push the App to the view as the pushView method wont accept a string??

Thanks

Is there no one who can help on this forum, I post questions here and no one ever answers them?!?

I have tried to use the following code in replacement of what I had:

    var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(selectedItem.data);

I should maybe just keep this simple and explain what I want to do. I want to pass a string into the "ViewNavigator.pushView()" that usually only accepts a View Class Object. So I would have the name of the view I want to navigate to stored as a String and then i want to execute the follwoing code, where "MyView" is a String:

    var MyView:String = new String("RightView");

    ViewNavigator.pushView(MyView);

This seems like a simple concept to me but the "viewNavigator.pushView()" only seems to accept a View Class being passed to it. Can someone please help me?

Thanks
