Update Textfield in Window

[Google Code Exporter]

Hello,

Is there any method to refresh a window?
I add TextField content to window.

playinItemWindow = new Window (this, 50, 100, "Playing item");
playinItemWindow.name = "playingitemw";
playinItemWindow.content.addChild(playingItemTextInfo);

After function process it 
var tempText = eee.content.getChildByName("playingiteminfo") as TextField;
tempText.text = newstring;
tempText.text trace outputs new string, but added TextField in wondow doesn't 
change.

Thank you in advance.
K.

your example is very confusing. you are adding a text field to 
"playinItemWindow", but looking for it in "eee". 

At any rate, there is no need to "refresh a window". If you have a text field 
in a window and change its text directly, it will change. There's nothing in 
Window that would prevent that from happening.

If you try the following example it works perfectly. 

package
{
    import flash.events.Event;

    import com.bit101.components.PushButton;
    import com.bit101.components.Component;
    import com.bit101.components.Window;

    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.text.TextField;

    public class Main extends Sprite
    {
        private var win:Window;
        private var tf:TextField;

        public function Main()
        {
            Component.initStage(stage);

            tf = new TextField();
            tf.text = "hello world";
            tf.name = "tf";

            win = new Window(this, 50, 100, "Playing item");
            win.name = "playingitemw";
            win.content.addChild(tf);

            new PushButton(this, 200, 100, "click", onClick);
        }

        private function onClick(event:Event):void
        {
            var tempText:TextField = win.content.getChildByName("tf") as TextField;
            tempText.text = "foobar";
        }
    }
}
