Access Polymer inner element programmatically

I'm enclosing my app in a Polymer element and I want to use another polymer element inside it. To call all the method of the inner element I'm trying to use $[]. Insider the external polymer element I have this:

ImageEditor ime;
DivElement div2;
ImageTool.created(): super.created(){
  div2 = $["secondDiv"];
  ime = $["imageEditor1"]
}

In the Html I simply have:

<polymer-element name="da-imagetool">
<template>
<div class="images" id="mainDiv">
  <da-imageeditor id="imageEditor1" name="ied"></da-imageeditor>

with the script src at the end. For some reason I get an exception when I assign the imageEditor1 to ime.

Exception: type 'HtmlElement' is not a subtype of type 'ImageEditor' of 'value'.

Solution

  • It looks like the browser hasn't upgraded the <da-imageeditor> elements.

    Make sure that you <import> the <da-imageeditor> element, and have the correct @CustomTag annotation on the ImageEditor class declaration.
