FYI I am running into the same warning. There seems to be a lot of confusion about what this warning means.

Thanks,

Philip

‘warning: multiple describeType entries for ‘[PROPERTY]‘ on type…’

Thanks!

We’re trying to add more links in our docs so that Flex developers are made aware of the great community content out there. I’m wondering whether you would consider adding a comment with a link to your post to the following page:

* Your page: http://dodgybits.org/2009/04/12/flex-data-binding-pitfalls/
* Our page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=data_access_1.html

Integration of customer-generated content is a key component in the success of the Flash platform documentation, so we really appreciate your contribution. FYI, here’s a blog post with a little more information about community help contributions: http://blogs.adobe.com/actionscriptdocs/2009/08/developers_and_writers_adobe_w.html. This post specifically mentions Adobe AIR but we’re doing this across the entire Adobe Flash Platform.

Now I see what you mean. Thanks for your time and effort!

public static const ASK_PRICE_CHANGE : String =
   "askPriceChange";

[Bindable(event=ASK_PRICE_CHANGE)]
public function get askPrice():Number

The above code doesn’t work since the bindable tag causes the compiler to generate binding code listening for events of type “ASK_PRICE_CHANGE”, not type “askPriceChange” as you might expect. Try looking at the generated binding source files to see what I mean.

Some really useful information you present here. I actually don’t understand your first issue:
“Don’t use constants as Bindable event names”

I usually do this and it works. So what do you mean by: ‘If you change the constant value, the binding will not fire.’ ?

I guess you mean changing the constant value at run-time, but why would you change a constant value at run-time?

Thanks,

Eugene
