RE: [flexcoders] Filling a TileList with objects from a dataProvider in Flex 1.5

[Rob Rusher]

TileList uses a dataProvider and cellrenderers to do what you're trying to do.   So you're going to have to add a setValue() to your custom component that assigns the dataProvider data to your component properties.   Your TileList will then take the result from your service and set the cellRenderer to your component.   i.e. <mx:TileList      dataProvider="{ myService.result }"      width="100%“ height="100%"      cellRenderer="MyComponent"      itemWidth="120" itemHeight="108"/>   Then in your component do this: <mx:Script> var compProperty: Object; function setValue( str:String, item:Object ) { compProperty =item; } </mx:Script> <mx:Label text="{ compProperty.name}"/> …     Rob Rusher       RIA Consultant   Macromedia Certified Flex Instructor   e:[EMAIL PROTECTED] c:303.885.7044 im:robrusher     -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ehogberg Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 3:42 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Filling a TileList with objects from a dataProvider in Flex 1.5   Hi all:   New to Flex 1.5, having problems understanding how to do a seemingly simple thing:  populate a TileList with items created out of a HTTPService call.  Help/pointers would be appreciated.   I have a HTTPServer object:   <mx:HTTPService id="myService".... />   I have a custom component:   <custom:MyComponent myProperty1="" myProperty2=""/>   I would like to build a TileList of MyComponent instances, iterating over the myService.result object to set MyComponent properties. However, I can't seem to find a way to do this.   I have tried using a Repeater to handle the myService iteration, but can't find the correct syntax (if there is any) for where to nest the Repeater within the TileList.  It would seem logical to try something like:   <mx:TileList ....>     <mx:dataProvider>          <mx:Repeater id="r" ....>              <custom:MyComponent                   myProperty="{r.currentItem.someValue}".... />          </mx:Repeater>     </mx:dataProvider> </mx:TileList>   but no dice; compiler complains mightily about naming nested objects.  Am I even in the ballpark on this?   Thoughts from the group?   Thanks in advance,   -E-           -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
