How to write '{' in inline event handler in the mxml tag itself?

How to write '{' in inline event handler in the mxml tag itself? Suppose I want to write this and dont want to make a function for this two line statement...

click="{if { (_absences!='')chkAbsences.selected = true; chkRegularHrs.selected = fal开发者_运维知识库se;} else {chkAbsences.selected=false};}"

Thanks guys...

you have to escape that character. the same happens with the &. When compiling MXML, first it has to be a valid XML file. So, there are certain characters for which you need to accommodate and write ugly stuff like if ( X && Y ) ...

How to escape..

PS: Do what @bedwyr says and use a script block for lengthy functions. you'll thank him/her later.

It's really simple:

<s:Button>
    <s:click>
        <![CDATA[
            function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            {
                trace("CLICK!");
            }
        ]]>
    </s:click>
</s:Button>
