All Over Software Jobs: [flexcoders] Using arraycollection as text for a flex TextArea Component.

Monday, December 26, 2011

Hello Guys i have an arraycollection that is populated dynamically and would like to use the same arraycollection as text for a TextArea component. Below is my array collection

[Bindable]
private var orderColl:ArrayCollection=new ArrayCollection();

/*** Create an object to hold the data ***/
var obj:Object=new Object();

/*** Assign the variables to it ***/
obj.Product=product.text;
obj.Price=price.text;
obj.Qty=1;
obj.OrderNumber=label1.text;

/*** Add the object to the list ***/
orderColl.addItemAt(obj, 0);

Then i have a TextArea component (id=cart) and i try to assign the arraycollection to it as text like this

var str:String = orderColl.source.join("\n");
cart.text = str;

The result in the textarea is [object object]. Any help guys?
