Re: [flexcoders] Embedding Flash Player
Hi guys, sorry about my slow response. I was enjoying my weekend :) We have decided to continue on this line of inquiry, partly due to your answers. Steve, you mentioned kicking of a silent install of the Player if it's not found. How silent can you make it? From memory, the player install sequence has a few dialog boxes and progress bars... is the distributable installer sequence less obvious, or are these dialogs just part of the overall installation experience for your users? We'd be happy enough with the latter, but the former would be even better :-) Thanks again!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Embedding Flash Player
Hi, sorry for my late reply. Merapi is on our list of possibles, but we don't like the socket-server approach for reasons of technical aesthetic. Having two separate processes just smells icky... conceptually the Java code and the Flex code both address the same concern -- To Build a Rich Client. Separating them technically is only necessary because the AIR framework doesn't support everything we need. We'd rather keep the technical structure as similar to the logical structure as possible. An example of what could happen: if the Flex UI crashes, the CD burning process might continue. Things like this give the socket server approach an unnatural feel IMHO. The main advantage for us of using AIR would be the application updater harness, but that's ruled out when using the Merapi approach anyway. Most crucially though, we want a self-contained one-click install, and this is just not possible using AIR and Merapi from what I can see.

[flexcoders] RemoteObject invocations returning all at once...
I have a function that performs a series of server-side operations.
Each call takes a half a second or so and I'd like to update the UI via
a progress bar.
The problem I'm running into is that all my remote methods are returning
at the same time so I have a progress bar that goes from empty to full
all at once rather than nice and gradual.
From watching the server side logs and the client trace statements I can
see that the server side requests are returning once every half-second
or so but I see no trace statements from my handleVoidAction method
until the very end when I see all of them at once. This happens whether
the number of requests is 5 or 500.
Here is the method I'm calling:
public function makeGroupsNotEligible(groups:Array):void
{
resetProgressBar(groups.length, Making groups not
eligible...);
for each(var g:Group in groups)
{
var token:AsyncToken =
remoteObject.makeGroupNotEligible(g.enterpriseId, g.groupId,
g.userLimit);
token.addResponder(new AsyncResponder(handleVoidAction,
faultHandler, token));
}
}
My question is how do I make the AsyncResponder respond after each
response rather than all at once in the very end?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Integrating JasperReports with Flex

Ideally something that will allow debugging of both sides of the app at the

Any suggestions most welcome.

Subject: [flexcoders] DataGrid itemRenderer Woes
Hi,
I have seen through google that this has been an issue but
implementing various solutions still l! eaves my existing problem.
Essentially I have a DataGrid with a custom itemRenderer displaying
CheckBoxes.
Within the renderer I am running a comparison on a value within the
renderers data i.e. data.my_val and the current grid row and column
values.
Depending on whether the data value equals a specific row I show or
hide the check box.
I achieve this by running the comparison logic with the overridden
updateDisplayList method below which works fine until scrolled.
override protected function updateDisplayList( unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number ):void
{
super.updateDisplayList( unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight );
var row:int = listData.rowIndex+1;
for( var! i:int = 0; i data.ff.length; i++ )
{
if( data.val[listData.columnIndex-1] != undefined
data.val[listData.columnIndex-1].option[i] == row )
{
btn.visible = true;
}
}
}
The issue is on scroll all of the check boxes are displayed/hidden
incorrectly and the whole grid messes right up!
Any ideas pls would be appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Removing an item from a sorted ArrayCollection?
Thanks for that suggestion .. it seems to behave the same way though. I can partly fix this by doing a myAc.refresh() every time, but I see all kinds of strange behaviour (elements will be duplicated, etc.). No one knows the answer to my initial question about why there is a problem implementing removeItemAt()/addItemAt() on a sorted AC? It's tempting to make a WorkingArrayCollection.as ;-) - bjorn 2008/11/21 Haykel BEN JEMIA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Try doing something like this: var obj:Object = mySortedArray.getItemAt(index); var originalIndex:int = mySortedArray.list.getItemIndex(obj); mySortedArray.list.removeItemAt(originalIndex); I didn't test the code. But the idea behind it is that a ListcollectionView holds a pointer to the IList it's wrapping so you have access to it. All you have to do is get the object you want to remove, find it's index in the wrapped IList and use that index to remove it, again from the wrapped IList.

I don't understand the rationale behind this, maybe someone can explain to me why it's difficult to implement removeItemAt() on a sorted ArrayCollection ... I mean, I _am_ working with sorted data here, so when I say index 11 I mean index 11 on the sorted data. That's the data I see, that's the data I'm using, I don't need to know anything about the underlying Array and the element's _real index_ the ArrayCollection knows which element this refers to in the underlying Array, so there shouldn't be a problem ...? Anyway, given the restraints we're working with here - what is the best way to approach this? I need to be able to remove items from a sorted ArrayCollection - any best practices? I usually use either a one or more other ArrayCollections or ListCollectionViews with a pointer to the same data to do filtering and sorting on.

[flexcoders] Re: Can an embedded image in a module be used by the main application?
I used style.getStyle(icon) to look at the object, and it was just

when the button style was set with this value from the module, it's

I've ditched the idea of using a stylesheet file and have defined all

I'm trying to load an image from a stylesheet in a module, then use

I have the following in my stylesheet in my module:

Then in my module I have a function like:
public function getSunStyle():CSSStyleDeclaration

return StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(.sun);
}
I've checked the return value here and it does exist (I've also
checked it with simple things like background colours etc).
Now, in my main application, I take that return value and do this:
var sun:CSSStyleDeclaration = module.getSunStyle;
if (gui.controlPanelBackgroundStyle != null)
{
StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration(.sun, sun, true);
}
And I have a button (in the main app) defined as:
mx:Button x=10 y=10 label=Button styleName=.sun/

Change the value of march expenses from 500 to 300 to make the series
closer and you'll see what I mean.

Hi Brendan,
I saw that in the docs as well, and tried it. It actually kinda works,
except if there's more than one series, the marker is displayed with a
root
of the connecting line...
I admit it's the closest I've got to what I need.

Add this to your Chart definition... it sets the dataTipRenderer style

Hi Vivian,
I guess I'm not doing a very good job of making myself clear, please
excuse me - english is not my first language.
Anyway, A chart datatip has 3 parts: the bubble with the text area,
the marker on the series itself and the line that connects the two.
I would like to display the datatip, but only with the marker on the
series itself, without the bubble or the connecting line.

I am still not registered as a web user of the list, so when I go to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/ I see a link on the left saying: Already receiving group email? When I click on that it says: You are currently a member of group flexcoders at email address [blanked by [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED].

(Add new profilehttp://edit.profiles.yahoo.com/config/edit_identity?.intl=us.done=http%3a//tech.groups.yahoo.com) Now, I already have a profile, so maybe the bug is that it's not picking it up.

[flexcoders] Re: checkbox usage in flex
At this point I would recommend using an HTTP Debugging Proxy like
Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com) to see exactly what is being
sent and where it is going.
I'm afraid I don't know ColdFusion so can't tell if you CF code is
correct or not.
Once you see the actual data that is being sent to your backend code
you should be able to figure out where the problem is very quickly.
BTW. I have found Charles to be indispensable. It has saved me
literally hundreds of hours in debugging time. It is one of two
debugging proxies that understand AMF and the only one that is cross
platform. It has been well worth its $50 asking price.

Yes. To go a bit further, while you can create the request object

But, it is not clear from your post quite what you want to sent to
the
server. The repeater will produce multiple check boxes. What is
the
server expecting? A delimited list of values? If so, then
Repeater
creates an array of references to repeated items that have an id
property. You can reference each check box like this: checkBox[n],
where
n is the index in the dataProvider.
So, in a for loop, with length equal to the Repeater dataProvider,
get a
reference to each checkbox. Build your return data structure as
needed.
Then put that into the request object, like below.
var oRequest:Object = new Object();
oRequest. strTitle = strTitle.text;
oRequest.strContent = strContent.text;
oRequest.dtmAssignmentDueDate = dtmAssignmentDueDate.text;

var array:Array = new Array(new URLRequestHeader(Content-Type,
text/html));
request.contentType = array.toString();
send a very strange request to the server:
Second%5FPhone%5FNumber=0Account=00Password=password
Removing the two lines send a proper POST request.
There is nothing wrong with your Flex code. The Internal Server
Error response is coming from the Perl script due to the strange request.
BTW. I figured this out using Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: login system with flex and coldfusion
What I like to do is handle all the backend transactions first and make sure they work. So in your CFC you would have the functions that talk to the database to see if the user's supplied credentials are valid. It could return a boolean or what ever else you need, maybe a list of roles for the user. Make a cfml test page to test those functions. Typically my test pages use CreateObject to instantiate the same CFC that the Flex RemoteObject function will invoke. That way you can isolate any backend issues without any frontend complexity. Once you've got your backend CFC working, then hook in the Flex screen with the RemoteObject.

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid itemRenderer Woes
The code you posted just sets visible=true/false which would likely set the
entire renderer to visible/invisible and not some checkbox inside. If the code
you showed is for a subclassed checkbox inside the renderer, then I'd make sure
the .data is passed from the renderer to the subclassed checkbox.
In cases like these, I usually extend DataGrid and add a function that dumps
out the state of the renderers and their data items. Scroll until it goes bad,
hit the button, call the function in the DG and see what it thinks is going on.

Hi,
I have seen through google that this has been an issue but
implementing various solutions still l! eaves my existing problem.
Essentially I have a DataGrid with a custom itemRenderer displaying
CheckBoxes.
Within the renderer I am running a comparison on a value within the
renderers data i.e. data.my_val and the current grid row and column
values.
Depending on whether the data value equals a specific row I show or
hide the check box.
I achieve this by running the comparison logic with the overridden
updateDisplayList method below which works fine until scrolled.
override protected function updateDisplayList( unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number ):void
{
super.updateDisplayList( unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight );
var row:int = listData.rowIndex+1;
for( var! i:int = 0; i data.ff.length; i++ )
{
if( data.val[listData.columnIndex-1] != undefined
data.val[listData.columnIndex-1].option[i] == row )
{
btn.visible = true;
}
}
}
The issue is on scroll all of the check boxes are displayed/hidden
incorrectly and the whole grid messes right up!
Any ideas pls would be appreciated.

[flexcoders] ComboBox as itemRenderer/editor in Datagrid is not updating dataProvider...
I'm seeing a problem with a combobox in a datagrid that I simply have not been able to solve. The setup: Consider a datagrid where one of the columns has a combobox itemrenderer/editor in each row with choices A,B,C,or D. Outside of the datagrid is a Save button, along with another combobox exactly like the others, but choosing an option here forces all other comboboxes inside the datagrid to change to it. So selecting B in the outside combo makes all combos in the datagrid go to B. As far as the code structure goes, the itemrenderer is drop-in, and the root component is an hbox, with the combobox inside it. This is to that I could align it to the right of the cell. The structure is like this: DataGridColumn itemrenderer hbox combobox To get the grid combos to change, I bound their selectedIndex to the selectedIndex of the outerDocument.combo Everything works fine if choosing an option within the grid. But when using the outside combobox to change the others, the grid combo boxes are NOT updating their dataprovider. But, oddly, I have observed that if I change the outer combo setting, then click anywhere in the grid FIRST, and then click my Save button, it works. I thought that perhaps I needed to dispatch a CHANGE or CLICK event, so I altered the combo bindings to create a bindsetter instead that does the same thing plus dispatch an event. I have tried dispatching a variety of events and nothing works. How do I get the grid combos to update the datagrid dataprovider when using the outside combo???

[flexcoders] LCDS pushing read-only associations
I have been having a problem pushing read-only associations to clients when then are part of a nested collection of a managed object. It seems as if there is only one way to do this, but I want to confirm this with others to make sure I am not missing something. myObject contains myObject.myCollection which is the non-owning side of a bidirectional one-to-many association. THIS WORKS if I add the new object to the collection - myObject.myCollection.addItem(newObject) then commit that collection, the changes get pushed to all clients THIS DOESN'T WORK if I use createItem(newObject) to persist the object then call myObject.myCollection.addItem(newObject) to add the new object to the collection in this case the object persists to the database and the local collection is updated, but no changes get pushed. QUESTIONS 1) Is this the expected behavior? (I am using LiveCycle Data Services: 2.6.0.200182) 2) I seem to recall if the collection is the result of a client called fill operation then createItem will push to new object to the filled collections. Is this true? 3) Is it best practice (or perhaps the only practice) when working with read-only properties to always use the (non-owning) collection to persist the objects rather than call a createItem assuming you want the data to push out to other clients? Thanks for the clarification. - Kevin

The Flash Player license allows us to automate download of the FP10 installer, however these are the problems we still face: · If a user doesn't have the player installed, there will be a two-step install process (one for the player, one for our app), which is sooo 90s · We can't legally change the install location of the NPAPI plugin, so if we automate downloads of the NPAPI FP10 and the user doesn't have Mozilla installed it's unclear what we should do · Not sure if we can specify the kind of Player (NPAPI vs ActiveX) to download from adobe.com if the user is on Windows Even for the base case (a user with Mozilla and the NPAPI FP10 plugin installed prior to install of our app), should we talk this over with Adobe legal? Has anyone heard of Adobe entering into custom licensing agreements for this kind of thing (and I mean, actual bonafide true stories, not conjecture based on Adobe's licensing page making passing reference)?

RE: [flexcoders] ComboBox as itemRenderer/editor in Datagrid is not updating dataProvider...
Depending on your data, you may need to call itemUpdated so renderers find out there's been a change to their data. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of biosmonkey Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 7:54 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] ComboBox as itemRenderer/editor in Datagrid is not updating dataProvider... I'm seeing a problem with a combobox in a datagrid that I simply have not been able to solve. The setup: Consider a datagrid where one of the columns has a combobox itemrenderer/editor in each row with choices A,B,C,or D. Outside of the datagrid is a Save button, along with another combobox exactly like the others, but choosing an option here forces all other comboboxes inside the datagrid to change to it. So selecting B in the outside combo makes all combos in the datagrid go to B. As far as the code structure goes, the itemrenderer is drop-in, and the root component is an hbox, with the combobox inside it. This is to that I could align it to the right of the cell. The structure is like this: DataGridColumn itemrenderer hbox combobox To get the grid combos to change, I bound their selectedIndex to the selectedIndex of the outerDocument.combo Everything works fine if choosing an option within the grid. But when using the outside combobox to change the others, the grid combo boxes are NOT updating their dataprovider. But, oddly, I have observed that if I change the outer combo setting, then click anywhere in the grid FIRST, and then click my Save button, it works. I thought that perhaps I needed to dispatch a CHANGE or CLICK event, so I altered the combo bindings to create a bindsetter instead that does the same thing plus dispatch an event. I have tried dispatching a variety of events and nothing works. How do I get the grid combos to update the datagrid dataprovider when using the outside combo???
[flexcoders] XML attributes
Flex 3
I am implementing drag and drop between 2 datagrids.
Both datagrids are populated using a dataprovider with an XML document.
The source XML document looks like this:
ChannelItems
CItem Type=Channel Name=Channel1/
CItem Type=Channel Name=Channel2/
/ChannelItems
In the doDragDrop event, I am doing the following:
code
var dropTarget:DataGrid = DataGrid(event.currentTarget);
var items:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat(items) as Array;
if( items.length 0 ) {
var node:XML = items[0];
var myName:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
}
/code
In the debugger I can see that items[0] has this value:
CItem Type=Channel Name=Channel1/
I am trying to assign the attribute Name to a string variable.
var myName:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
I have tried about every permutation I can think of an everything give
me a:
code
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

mx.managers.dragClasses::DragProxy/mouseUpHandler()[E:\dev\3.1.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\dragClasses\DragProxy.as:500]
/code
Both datagrids display the XML correctly.
The source datagrid's dataProvider is defined as:
code
dataProvider={channelListXML.CItem}
/code
Can anyone give me a leg up here?

[flexcoders] Re: login system with flex and coldfusion
Hi All, I don't have the Flexbuilder installed in my system. My enviroment here comprises Flex SDK3 along with Coldfusion 8 developer edition alone, So I have to make this (that is the CF-Flex login app) with my mxmlc utility. I ran through some of the documents in where they instructed to edit services-config file and all. But it only resulted in Destination Coldfusion not found. Can anyone shed some light on how to write / compile and to run a login app using just a notepad and mxmlc utility perpective. I gave up searching tutorials, since I couldn't able find suiting my requirement. Can any please help me out?... Thanks, Dave.
[flexcoders] Newbie binding question
I'm having some troubles with data binding and a named event generated
by a custom non-visual component. What I'm trying to do is have a
property (say, 'data') which, when it changes, triggers the usual
data-binding updates, but also fires an event that can be listened to
in the MXML. For example:
foo:MyClass id=thingy dataChanged=Alert.show('hi mom');/
mx:Label text={thingy.data}/
I can't seem to meet both of these requirements without throwing two
separate events. Is this what I should expect?
When I do this:
[Event(name=dataChanged)]
public class MyClass {
[Bindable(name=dataChanged)]
public function set data(data:Object):void {
this._data = data;
dispatchEvent( new Event(dataChanged) );
..then the data binding doesn't work. (The label text doesn't get
updated.) It seems I have to resort to vanilla data binding (with no
event name), and in addition throw a 'dataChanged' event of my own.
[Event(name=dataChanged)]
public class MyClass {
[Bindable]
public function set data(data:Object):void {
this._data = data;
dispatchEvent( new Event(dataChanged) );
Am I missing something?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Right click context menus
Any class that inherits from InteractiveObject has a contextMenu
property that allows you to build a custom context menu for that
particular item. See the Flex docs for specifics.
myTextArea.contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myTextArea.contextMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
var defaultItems:ContextMenuBuiltInItems =
myTextArea.contextMenu.builtInItems;
defaultItems.print = false;

Hello!
Per the Flex documentation:
Flash Player has three types of context menus: the standard
menu (which appears when you right-click in Flash Player), the
edit menu (which appears when you right-click a selectable or
editable text field), and an error menu (which appears when a
SWF file has
failed to
load into Flash Player). Only the standard and edit menus can
be modified with the ContextMenu class.
I have been able to add custom menu items to the standard
menu however, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to add custom
menu
items to
the edit menu on a flex component, such as a TextArea.
The code I am using to add items to the standard menu is:
var newCM:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
var newCMI:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem(New Item);
newCM.customItems.push(newCMI);

If you use int data type for fields you'll get zeros. With Number it's will

[flexcoders] When is a crossdomain.xml file required?

[flexcoders] Re: Security sandbox and two domains
I don't think it matters what is in the swf it matters that one swf is requesting something from other then the server it was loaded from. If your running Flash 10 things have changed - you have to do more things then just a basic crossdomain file. Run your application in FireBug and you will see the requests - and see requests errors that occur.. A lot of people are having issues with this now: Adobe implemented the stricter requirements in Flash Player in three phases. In Phase 1, which began with Flash Player 9,0,115,0, a small number of strict rules were enforced immediately, but most violations of the strict rules resulted only in warnings visible in Debug versions of Flash Player. In Phase 1.5, which began with Flash Player 9,0,124,0, the warnings of Phase 1 became errors in the specific case of socket operations. In Phase 2, which began with Flash Player 10.0, all of the warnings of Phase 1 became errors and the transition to stricter rules was complete. Recommend you read this document http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.htm l

If your running Flash 10 things have changed - you have to do more things then just a basic crossdomain file. Run your application in FireBug and you will see the requests - and see requests errors that occur.. A lot of people are having issues with this now: Adobe implemented the stricter requirements in Flash Player in three phases. In Phase 1, which began with Flash Player 9,0,115,0, a small number of strict rules were enforced immediately, but most violations of the strict rules resulted only in warnings visible in Debug versions of Flash Player. In Phase 1.5, which began with Flash Player 9,0,124,0, the warnings of Phase 1 became errors in the specific case of socket operations. In Phase 2, which began with Flash Player 10.0, all of the warnings of Phase 1 became errors and the transition to stricter rules was complete.

[flexcoders] Re: Architecture question using Move Effect and Events
I apologize if the context of my question is not fully clear, and I
greatly appreciate you taking the time to respond. However, your
assumption is not correct.
The way the applciation is working so that there is actually 30, 40 or
even more instances of the custom MXML components rendered on the
canvas at any given point. this is all determined at runtime, and
each instance of MyCustomMXMLComponent is moving across the canvas
with its very own instance of a Move Effect.
To clarify the question:
My custom mxml component is called: MyCustomMXMLComponent.mxml it has
a Label and a Text Area inside of it. When a user does a mouse
rollover on the Label I want the MyCustomMXMLComponent to stop moving
and other actions to happen.
I am unable to catch events inside of the MyCustomMXMLComponent.mxml
object, the code i use is:
var instance:MyCustomMXMLComponent = new MyCustomMXMLComponent();
instance.addEventListner(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, handleMouseRollOver);
The problem is that when a user moves a mouse over the
MyCustomMXMLComponent a UITextField catches the event so when i have
the below code in the event handler it fails:
//find the MoveInstance and pause
for(var i:int = 0; i event.target.activeEffects.length; i++) {
if(event.target.activeEffects[i].className == 'MoveInstance')
event.target.activeEffects[i].pause();
}
Why is the UITextField which is inside of the Label catchign the event
when I did not register an eventhandler for it to do anything??
Is there a better way to catch the event so that the
MyCustomMXMLComponent can handle the event to stop the Move Effect???
Thank you.

I'm not sure I understand the whole context, but if I'm right that

you get the rollover event?

effects. I don't want to have to explicitly specify the height and
width of these for calculations. When you don't specify a height and

a way to get the width and height of an image after it is loaded.
is this done through img.loaderInfo? or img.content? I tried

I've tried either gives me NaN or undefined. Does anyone know how to
access this?

No one knows the answer to my initial question about why there is a problem
implementing removeItemAt()/addItemAt() on a sorted AC?
Well, the cool thing about using those mx.collections.* classes, as opposed
to, for example, just using Arrays (besides binding, that is) is using a
cursor view of them so you don't really have to go counting with your fingers
where a particular item is.
If you have a sorted collection (of Point objects, lets say), you can create a
cursor and use that to find, remove, etc. whatever it is that you're looking
for.
You can quickly do stuff like:
// sort the items first by x, in descending order, then by y ascending
// (without cumbersome Array sort functions).
var customSort:Sort = new Sort();
customSort.fields = [
new SortField(x, false, true),
new SortField(y)
];
collection.sort = customSort;
collection.refresh();
// later on, you need to find the first point, according to this order, which
// has and x of 160 and and y of 130. Instead of looping through the set,
// you can use a cursor like this:
var cursor:IViewCursor = collection.createCursor();
var itemFound:Boolean = cursor.findFirst({x:160, y:130})
// now your cursor is pointing to the item you're looking for (you can check
// on it by looking at the 'current' property), if it has found it. Without
// having to worry on which index it was, you can just then say:
if (itemFound)
cursor.remove();
This is just a simple example of the sort of things that you should be using
collections for. I'd suggest a quick glance over the IViewCursor docs to see
how cool that approach is. Remember that collections (like ArrayCollection,
for example) are just particular views of rawer data sets; Their aim is just
to make your life simpler in the end.

When Flex comes back to look at your data because you fired the

Now, how can I do that in Flash 10, since the above methodology will violate Flash 10 security model? As a side question, is there a sample for how to properly call setClipbaord() so that Flash 10 does copy?

[flexcoders] Re: check compiler configurations in runtime
The stack trace trick works well.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: supertabnavigator component and reordering tabs
Hi, I understand that is when it 'should' be dispatched, but my problem is that I have a listener function that is never getting called when I reorder the tabs. I'm listening for the event like: superTabNavElement.addEventListener(SuperTabBar.TABS_REORDERED, onTabReorder); Any ideas? d.

My problem is A doesn't scroll when its child renderers exceed its dimensions. Here are the relevant factors as far as I'm aware: -scrollpolicy is set to auto (on shows a disabled bar) -as far as I can tell, measure() is implemented properly in the item renderers. - A is nested inside another Box. - when I add more children to my A component, the value of A.getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth() continues to increase although it visually does not. Because of this last issue, I'm wondering if A is getting clipped by it's parent container which has scrollpolicy set to off. If this is the problem, how can I show scrollbars on the inner container and not on the outer? Do I need to manually size A to match the dimensions of its parent? TIA
RE: [flexcoders] [CUSTOM COLLECTION SERIALIZATION - BLAZEDS]
Hi João, Does your custom ActionScript collection class use [RemoteClass(alias=...)] metadata to map to your corresponding custom Java collection class on the server? Using [RemoteClass] requires that you have a hard dependency on this custom AS collection class in your app in order for mxmlc to generate the necessary registerClassAlias call during Flex app init; if you don't have an explicit variable of this type in your app, just create a dummy variable during startup that is thrown away and gc'ed and it should do the trick.

RE: [flexcoders] mx:consumer bandwidth questions
Hi Jitendra, Selector expressions defined by a Consumer that subscribes to a JMS messaging destination are passed through to the JMS server and evaluated there. Only messages that arrive at your JMS server that satisfy the selector expression will be forwarded to the JMS Consumer proxy running within BlazeDS or LCDS, and from there on out to the Consumer in your Flex.

[flexcoders] ItemRenderer's style is changed when scrolling DataGrid
hi everyone, i wrote a renderer which extends DataGridItemRenderer in
DataGrid
some code below:
override public function getTextStyles():TextFormat
{
if (!listData||this.text==)
{
return super.getTextStyles();
}
if(listData.uid != lastUID)
{
var tf:TextFormat = super.getTextStyles();
if(data is PositionDataBottomInfo)
{
tf.bold = true;
}
else
{
tf.bold = false;
}
}
return tf;
}
if i don't operate the DataGrid, every row's style is correct. however ,
when i scroll the DataGrid, the row's style is incorrect.
after scrolling some rows turn bold, some turn normal.
