Hello, I am using a message handler to change a lot of values on a different page. I have a payload sending over the file path and the value of what to change it to. When I do this the value on the file path does not change, assumingly it is only taking the path in as a string and changing its value. Has anyone dealt with this?
Are you trying to access a file on the client's computer? Perspective only has access to the gateway's file system
No, I am just changing parameters on a different view. I am using just the component path like "self.view..."
Can you provide your actual script(s) and screenshots of your properties? We don't know what you're trying unless you give us extra information.
Are you trying something along the lines of passing data entered in a popup to a main page? Or do you have flex repeaters with entry fields and you are trying to pass the new value upwards? How is your overall data structured, where is it held, and how are you sourcing it?
Your later posts suggest that you're not sending a file path (a path to a file on a data storage device) but rather sending a parameter to a view.
View parameters are only read when the view first loads so that probably isn't what you want.
Describe in details what you want to achieve and what you have tried so far. Please see Wiki - how to post code on this forum.
