[eztaburnak]

Hi!!

tnx.

Hey, please can you specify your problem in detail.

But normally you have access to public static variables and public static
methods outside your class with the following structur.

<YourClassName>.<YourVariableName>

e.g.

Math.PI //Where Math is your Class and PI is your public static variable

and the same for methods

tnx for the reply..I want to access the treeData under the
hierarchicalCollectionView property of advanceDatagrid.

what i did is

private var myGrid:AdvancedDataGrid = new AdvancedDataGrid();

myGrid.hierarchicalCollectionView.treeData;

and i got this error

1119: Access of possibly undefined property treeData through a reference with
static type mx.collections:IHierarchicalCollectionView. advancedgrid/src

well!! im sure treeData is existing i run debug and its there. So it came up
that it might be a static variable of method. I tried to do some experiments
and i found out static methods and variables are not accessible outside the
class.

tnx.

Yeah, but if you look in the debugger you will see that the icon before the treeData is yellow, this means that this property is protected and not public

A question,

why don't you use

myGrid.hierarchicalCollectionView.source??

[eztaburnak]

yes...exactly!!! is there any ways i could access the protected property? tnx i will that one.. : )

[dietmar.paulus]

About protected variables and methods have a look at the Dokumentation, in the
section LanguageElements and then search for protected.

For short: You only have access to protected properties and methods only in
subclasses.
