Use a Flex Repeater to select Details

[stan.cook]

Is it possible to know which embedded view of a Perspective Flex Repeater has been selected? I want an event script when the repeater is clicked which will ‘send’ a value to an adjacent “detail” view. The detail will show data dependent on which subview was picked.
The value I pass will be a subview custom parameter and will be called out in the Flex Repeater instance detail.
I was planning to make a custom parameter on the Flex Repeater which the detail view would reference.
“subview” is referring to the embedded view of the Flex Repeater)

Flex Repeater - Get Selected Instance

Short answer: no. Long answer: Don't rely on the Flex Repeater to handle this for you; let your Views do the work with Message Handlers.

[17%20AM] on the ROOT node of the View, configure an onClick event to execute a Script Action with the following code: system.perspective.sendMessage('ROOTCLICK', payload=…

Thank you, that does what I wanted. FYI your sendMessage code snippet has a typo, there should be an “=” after “payload” (that’s for the next viewer of this answer).
I started by trying to script the embedded view, but I couldn’t figure how to get the data to another view. This works and seems efficient.
