[flexcoders] Sprite doubleclick
So if you have a sprite, say a circle in shape, and assign a doubleclick event handler to it. Then you add a child to the circle sprite, thus covering up the circle sprite. How do you get the the top sprite to allow the underneath (circle sprite) to hear the doubleclick? I have set doubleclick enabled for both, but I think the issue is the top sprite is not letting the lower sprite hear anything? TIA, J

Thanks a lot. I followed your recommendation and it worked.
I though that flex automatically fetched the field names from the xml as in
the case of default resultFormat i.e. object.
I guess for e4x, the dataGridColums must be explicitly specified.
Thanks again.

Subject: [flexcoders] SWFLoader content-resizing problem
Hi!
Firstly - sorry for my english, I'm not a native english speaker.
Secondly - sorry for a long post;) I'd like to show the problem clearly
I've got a problem with resizing swf applications loaded with
SWFLoader component. The problem is that it behaves differently when
the content-application is at the same domain (or locally) and at the
foreign domain. Here is the example applications, and some screenshots
showing the behavior:
exported base application:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/lk6ce6
first swf application written in flex:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/j4ooyo
second swf application written in flex:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/bcqxti
The first app, lets call it 'base application' is loading two
applications ('stiff size' with application size set to 640x480px, and
'resizable' with size set to 100%x100%, both with one button filling
all the application area) exported to swf files, with swf loaders;
1.When swf's are loaded locally, or at the same domain:
a) 'resizable' app is resized to SWFLoader component size
b) 'stiff size' app is not resized at all
screenshot:
http://img8.imageshack.us/my.php?image=local.png
2.When swf's are loaded at the foreign domain (with
Security.allowDomain(domain address) at the base application
initialization):
a) 'resizable' app is about twice bigger as it should be! (the biggest
problem)
b) 'stiff size' app is stretched to SWFLoader component size
screenshot:
http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?image=remote.png
The behavior that would be best for me is 1a for resizable
applications, and 2b for applications with defined size (eventually 1b
- not resized at all) for both local loading, and from foreign domain.
1. Is it possible?
2. Is it the SWFLoader proper behavior, or is it a bug? I've found a bug
on adobe jira with similar problem, but with 'cannot reproduce'
status, and no workaround (the trustContent=true do not work for me),
should i post a comment there?
link to jira: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13323
The swf files are uploaded for testing at the adresses:

[flexcoders] virtual keyboard
Hi.
I have to implement a virtual keyboard (for touch screen kiosk). All the
materials i've found on web was like adding text to some control, for example:
textInput1.text += 'a', but it would be killer-task to implement all the
functionality of keyboard like putting chars somewhere in the middle of text
after user set cursor by clicking there etc, and what's worse - managing type
of reaction depending of what control is focused.
Is there some way to generate keyboard events just as like they where generated
by normal keyboard?
I tried this, but it is not working (no reaction):
var kEvent:KeyboardEvent = new KeyboardEvent(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, true,
false, String('a').charCodeAt(),String('a').charCodeAt());
if(stage.focus!=null)
this.stage.focus.dispatchEvent(kEvent);

[flexcoders] Turn all keyboard input into upper-case for all TextInput and TextArea
I need to automatically turn all keyboard input in all TextInput and TextArea components in my flex application into upper-case. It needs to function like if the user had actually typed it in upper-case. So, the events with the lower-case input needs to be stopped and new events with the upper-case equivalent need to be dispatched. I am having trouble getting this to work, and would like some input on possible solutions. Tried 1: Extending mx.controls.TextInput And listening for TextEvent, stopping its propagation and preventing its default and dispatching a new TextEvent with the upper-case equivalent. But the upper-case char is not shown then, due to use preventing its default. Tried 2: Listening for KeyboardEvent on stage To catch all keyboard input and try and change it before it goes any further. But, some of the same problems occur. Preventing default makes the char not appear. Any thought?
[flexcoders] Looking for a design pattern
I am working on an application which purpose is to track a task time. Users are checking in and out of tasks by scanning their badges. Scanning stations are installed around a shop. Currently I have 5 stations. I would want to have all these stations showing identical data. For that I have a mechanism of syncing all stations at the time when a user scan his ID or enters a task to work on. Another words, any change on one station is triggering data refresh on all stations. Everything works fine, but with one problem. In the morning when scanning is the most extensive, there is a situation when a user scans his ID and at the same time another user scans on another station. This collision would change DataGrid's higjlighted record to a record of the second user and first user would be entering his task into a wrong record. What would be a design pattern of managing such solution? Any idea is very welcome. Thanks, Mark

RE: [flexcoders] Turn all keyboard input into upper-case for all TextInput and TextArea
Unfortunately, the text controls don't use events as input events, but dispatch them as notifications instead, so you can't fake events to them. Most brute force way is to set text to toUpperCase on the change event. Could be slow on large strings and you may have to track and restore selection.

It needs to function like if the user had actually typed it in upper-case. So, the events with the lower-case input needs to be stopped and new events with the upper-case equivalent need to be dispatched. I am having trouble getting this to work, and would like some input on possible solutions. Tried 1: Extending mx.controls.TextInput And listening for TextEvent, stopping its propagation and preventing its default and dispatching a new TextEvent with the upper-case equivalent. But the upper-case char is not shown then, due to use preventing its default. Tried 2: Listening for KeyboardEvent on stage To catch all keyboard input and try and change it before it goes any further. But, some of the same problems occur. Preventing default makes the char not appear. Any thought?

Subject: [flexcoders] Debugging Event Bubbling
Hi Folks,
I'm currently working on a twitter AIR client using the twitterscript AS3
library and having some issues with bubbling custom events that are created
by nested classses back to the main application.
I've architected so that the main application (A) spawns a new timeline
window (B) for every twitter account a user may have. I have a Comm class (C)
i use as a DAO layer to decouple the twitterscript custom events from my
framework (in case i switch to a different as3 API library)
My custom event class looks like this
package com.kubeworks.events
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class TweetCommEvent extends Event
{
public static const TIMELINE_BACK:String = timelineBack;
public static const STATUS_BACK:String = statusBack;
public static const USER_INFO_BACK:String = userInfoBack;
public static const RATE_LIMIT_STATUS:String = rateLimitBack;
public var data : Object = new Object ();
public function TweetCommEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=true,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
override public function clone():Event {
return new PreferencePaneEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}
My Comm Class goes something like
package com.kubeworks.data
{
// Twitter API calls
import com.kubeworks.events.TweetCommEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.utils.*;
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
import twitter.api.Twitter;
import twitter.api.events.TwitterEvent;
public class TweetComm extends EventDispatcher
{
private var username:String;
private var password:String;
private var _twitterClient:Twitter;
// Constructor
public function TweetComm(usern:String, pass:String)
{
// Initialize Twitter Event Listeners
_twitterClient = new Twitter();
_twitterClient.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, twitterClientActivateHandler);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, twitterClientDeactivate);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.ON_FRIENDS_TIMELINE_RESULT,
twitterTimelineBack);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.ON_SET_STATUS,
twitterStatusBack);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.ON_SHOW_INFO, twitterUserBack);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.ON_RATE_LIMIT_STATUS,
twitterRateLimitBackHandler);
// Do stuff
setLogin(usern, pass);
setAuth();
}
and within that class i'm re-dispatching like:
private function twitterRateLimitBackHandler(event:TwitterEvent):void {
var eventObj:TweetCommEvent = new
TweetCommEvent(TweetCommEvent.RATE_LIMIT_STATUS, true);
eventObj.data = event.data;
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
trace(twitterRateLimitBackHandler);
trace(ObjectUtil.toString(event));
trace(twitterRateLimitBackHandler);
trace(ObjectUtil.toString(eventObj));
}
I've set the bubbling to true. However in my main application this
EventListener never fires
systemManager.addEventListener(TweetCommEvent.RATE_LIMIT_STATUS,
onRateLimitHandler);
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am out ideas and have exausted
google and my flex friends.
Thanks,

RE: [flexcoders] Looking for a design pattern
It is my humble opinion that you would need to initiate some type of locking mechanism. The process locks until the one process is done. If you have an application level backend then that could have a lock variable with a unique ID to the specific process. when it is complete you push your synchronization and wait for the next request. Another option might be to package a request as a bundle and submit the package 1 tme and pull the update to that station. If a process is in process you don't auto update until that process is complete. When there is no process in progress then you have it pull on a timer. That is if I have read your post correctly. :-) Greg From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of markgoldin_2000 Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 10:12 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Looking for a design pattern I am working on an application which purpose is to track a task time. Users are checking in and out of tasks by scanning their badges. Scanning stations are installed around a shop. Currently I have 5 stations. I would want to have all these stations showing identical data. For that I have a mechanism of syncing all stations at the time when a user scan his ID or enters a task to work on. Another words, any change on one station is triggering data refresh on all stations. Everything works fine, but with one problem. In the morning when scanning is the most extensive, there is a situation when a user scans his ID and at the same time another user scans on another station. This collision would change DataGrid's higjlighted record to a record of the second user and first user would be entering his task into a wrong record.

Re: [flexcoders] Moving a viewStack through actionscript
Hey there Wally, You can get access to the currently selected viewstack, and also set it, through selectedIndex. So your initial declaration would be like mx:ViewStack id=questionVS etc... selectedIndex=0 click=nextQuestion() and in your function nextQuestion you can increment the selectedIndex. I'd have to check but I think you can find the number of items in your viewStack with numChildren. That would give you your max value to finish your quiz or handle the end how you would like. You can find more about what you can do with viewstacks in the docs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/containers/ViewStack.html Hope that helps!

Another option might be to package a request as a bundle and submit the package 1 tme and pull the update to that station. If a process is in process you don't auto update until that process is complete. When there is no process in progress then you have it pull on a timer. That is if I have read your post correctly. :-) Greg From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of markgoldin_2000 Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 10:12 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Looking for a design pattern I am working on an application which purpose is to track a task time.

RE: [flexcoders] Flickering in datagrid Header Renderer while loading data
It depends on what you mean by flickering. It would be unusual for a label to
flicker. Images often do, and SuperImage from quietlyscheming.com can help,
but if the label if flickering, something else might be the issue.

dgColumn = value as DataGridColumn;
if(dgColumn.sortDescending)

Everything looks good as soon as data loading is over .Is there any ways to
avoid this flicker ??
Please throw some light in to it

No, but it's rare. 2. Assuming that the item renderer only needs to
manipulate the text of the renderer, is example 1 - extending
DataItemGrid - (below) a good way to do it? (I've never written one

Subject: [flexcoders] dataGrid not receiving user input
(intermitently) in
bottom right
I have a datagrid that works ~50% of the time.
The other 50% of the time the dataGrid wont accept user
interaction in
the
bottom right area (the bottom 3 (of 6) rows, right 2 (of 4)
columns).
i.e. that part of the grid does not react to mouse over events,
not
mouse
click events.
Sometimes is reacts to click events as if they are occurring in
the
row in
which a mouse_over interaction was last observed.
Looking at the redraw regions, I see that a redraw region
occasionally
appears in the bottom right of the grid - exactly where he grid is
not
receiving user input.
So that is probably related.
But I don't know what it is a redraw region for. I've checked my
other
component and they aren't near.
I have the following custom item renderers:
column 2: extends Canvas
column 3: extends Label
column 4: extends Label.
Anyone know what might be causing this?
Or how to fix it / diagnose it further?
thanks

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Moving a viewStack through actionscript
Hey there Wally,
You can get access to the currently selected viewstack, and also set it,
through selectedIndex. So your initial declaration would be like
mx:ViewStack id=questionVS etc... selectedIndex=0
click=nextQuestion()
and in your function nextQuestion you can increment the selectedIndex.
I'd have to check but I think you can find the number of items in your
viewStack with numChildren. That would give you your max value to finish
your quiz or handle the end how you would like.
You can find more about what you can do with viewstacks in the docs:

Hope that helps!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: how to call dynamic servlet
Why are you converting the e4x XML into the legacy XMLDocument? And if you
really are satisfied working with dynamic Object instead of XML, then use
resultFormat=object and skip all that decdoing stuff. Flex will do that
for you. But that is the worst of both worlds; you lose the power of e4x
and suffer the diminished access performance of a dynamic object.
I suggest you use XML and XMLListCollection instead.

Re: [flexcoders] Moving a viewStack through actionscript
If I am understanding your code correctly, you actually want to call
test1(parent).checkSingle instead of testMod. The reason is because you
are instantiating a brand new, and unrelated, test1 component with
public var testMod:test1 = new test1();
You might be able to do
public var testMod:test1 = test1(parent);
casting the variable to the type test1.
If it's a simple app you are working on, you can do this kind of tightly
coupled design. By that I mean, your question1 component knows about
your test1 component. If it's a more complex app though, you may want to
look at decoupling your app. Otherwise this app will quickly become
inflexible and harder to maintain as it grows.
In this case, you could set up your question components to dispatch an
event that your test1 then listens to. That way question1 doesn't have
to be directly connected to parent.
I hope that makes sense!

[flexcoders] Flex 3 Tree - Moving Nodes
Hey All, I am trying to build a Flex based tree for our content management system here at work. It needs to represent all of the pages on a given site. I already have a good working prototype using XML as the dataprovider and i have a good chunk of the drag and drop functions working well. The problem I am having is around the dragdrop handler. I need to be able to move any page to anywhere on the tree, including below (as a child of) any other page in addition to being able to reorder pages on the same level (same parent node) I can get it to do one or the other but not both at the same time.

[flexcoders] Variable changes value without being set
Really odd problem. A variable is set to true in code, but when I step through the code and watch the variable by the next line it has become false again even thought it wasn't set. I even have tried turning it into a set/get property and put a break on the setter, and still it changes from true to false without the breakpoint being hit. Any thoughts...
[flexcoders] Flex Roadmap Question
I'm not sure if I should ask that question here, but maybe somebody can help me anyway. Is there any roadmap for Flex? I have found a bug in the Flex bug management system (Jira) that shows that it is already fixed in I11 - which mean Iteration 11 for Gumbo. But what does that exactly mean? Is it already in the nightly builds for Gumbo or will it be released later? Thanks for your help. Markus

[flexcoders] binding not updating for ArrayCollection when item changes?
I have a strange issue with data binding not updating when an item in
an ArrayCollection is changed. I'm using Cairngorm and have the
following setup. In my ModelLocator I have a 'users' ArrayCollection
that contains 'UserVO' objects. I have a two views that binds their
dataProvider to the 'users' AC in the ModelLocator. My UserVO looks
like so:
package com.jrobinson.model.VO
{
[Bindable]
public class UserVO
{
public var id:int = -1;
public var username:String = null;
public var enabled:Boolean = false;
public var userData:XMLList = null;
public function UserVO(user_id:int, uName:String,
enabled:Boolean,
d:XMLList)
{
id = user_id;
username = uName;
enabled = enabled;
userData = d;
}
}
}
I first have a command that loads all of the users and populates the
AC. This updates the bindings as expected. I then have a second
command that loads the userData portion for a given user. Once
retrieved, I update the given UserVO's userData, but this time, the
bindings fail to update.
I feel like I've seen this before but can't find where or what the
workaround might be. I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that
this should or shouldn't work.
Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 Tree - Moving Nodes
I just implemented the same thing. What I did was have data in the XML elements that differentiated what kind of node they were (topic and article in my case) and that told me the parent topic of the selected node (using parent topic id of 0 for a top level topic). This way you can compare data between the dragSource's dragItems and the item that exists in the tree at the calculatedDropIndex. Through this comparison you'll know if you're dropping onto a branch or leaf node and can handle it appropriately. -- Howard Fore, howard.f...@hofo.com The universe tends toward maximum irony.

[flexcoders] Architecture / Design question...
I have a situation in which I am currently using a very ugly set up to get the job done, but I want to change this (will explain) and I am looking for some insight. The process is this. A user gets to a piece of our app and they are presented with some options. The options are very different depending on which route they take to get there. For instance, they might see a checkbox about saving a piece of their file as a note. They might see a set of radio buttons to order different quantities (in this case the price can change depending on which radio button is selected [the price is on the same screen]). They might see a mailing address or an email address, depending on the medium of the item they are purchasing. Basically, the options vary greatly, so I currently have a different custom component depending on which they are using. I want to be able to use one component and have different options on that component, but I am not sure of an efficient way to do it. I know this is random and probably not easily answered without a specific understanding of the system, but I thought I would ask :)

You can run the profiler to see why it is taking so long.

Another alternative is to have the node you are dragging over open after two seconds and display a placeholder child. If you want to make it a sibling, that will be your first option before the node has time to open. If you want it to be a child, wait a couple of seconds whilst the node opens to display any current children (and if not a placeholder child that you dynamically create for that purpose) Cheers, Martyn Alan Rother wrote: Yeah, I tried something similar, but since all of my nodes are essentially the same (all pages) and can all be a parent or a child (leaf or branch as it were) but the problem I'm running into is how do Idiscriminate between intent, in other words how do I know if the user wanted to move the page between two pages on the same level (re-ordering) or if they wanted to move the page to be the child of the page is was dropped onto.

Re: [flexcoders] Moving a viewStack through actionscript
Hi Wally, sorry I missed the hierarchy there. You have checkSingle on
the module and not the Viewstack. In that case, you should be able to do
parent.parent.checkSingle and leave out the cast as test1. So
public var testMod:Object = parent.parent;
The last one failed because it was trying to convert a viewstack into a
test1 which of course isn't a viewstack. But I'm not sure about this one
because the parent.parent is a module. You could also forgo using the
testMod variable and in your click declaration instead of
click=testMod.checkSingle(group1.selectedValue)
use
click=parent.parent.checkSingle(group1.selectedValue) /
Hopefully that'll work for you.
If you have a little time to invest, and if you may be doing more Flex
apps in the future, even though this one is not going to be a full-on
huge app, I'd learn about dispatching custom events. It's not that
complicated but it takes some time to understand. It would save some of
the hassle you're trying to do of course at the expense of a new and
different kind of hassle. :-)

*Subject*: Re: [flexcoders] Moving a viewStack through actionscript
If I am understanding your code correctly, you actually want to call
test1(parent).checkSingle instead of testMod. The reason is because you
are instantiating a brand new, and unrelated, test1 component with
public var testMod:test1 = new test1();
You might be able to do
public var testMod:test1 = test1(parent);
casting the variable to the type test1.
If it's a simple app you are working on, you can do this kind of tightly
coupled design. By that I mean, your question1 component knows about
your test1 component. If it's a more complex app though, you may want to
look at decoupling your app. Otherwise this app will quickly become
inflexible and harder to maintain as it grows.
In this case, you could set up your question components to dispatch an
event that your test1 then listens to. That way question1 doesn't have
to be directly connected to parent.
I hope that makes sense!

It needs to represent all of the pages on a given site. I already have a good working prototype using XML as the dataprovider and i have a good chunk of the drag and drop functions working well. The problem I am having is around the dragdrop handler. I need to be able to move any page to anywhere on the tree, including below (as a child of) any other page in addition to being able to reorder pages on the same level (same parent node) I can get it to do one or the other but not both at the same time. As far as I can tell, Flex doesn't recognize the difference between a drop on a node and a drop between two nodes. As I think this would solve my problem. Has anyone tackled this problem before? I basically need a simple way for my very non-technical users to drag pages for one of two operations, re-ordering within a section or moving a page to another section.

Re: [flexcoders] Architecture / Design question...
Wow yeah that would depend on a lot of things. Some thoughts that help me narrow down prospects like that: Am I doing all of the subcomponents in MXML? If so I could manage it with States perhaps using addChild. Pass the state in on instantiation/show/creationComplete, etc. Am I doing all of the subcomponents in AS3? Then I can dynamically instantiate things on the fly depending on those requirements. Whether or not I actually use the states tags, are their actual states with shared components? If so I might make a set of flags. If flag x is present, add component x, or if y is present, add y. But it depends on how detailed it needs to be, and how convoluted the solution might be. It might be better not to put it ALL in one component, but have one component that loads subsections as well. It all depends on what you need. And, just a caveat, I am not a Flex guru.

[flexcoders] Styling Advanced Data Grid Columns
Greetings - My data grid has the notion of a column of data being selectable. When selected the column displays a light background color indicating it's selected state. Luckily AdvancedDataGridColumn has a backgroundColor attribute. Unfortunately it does not have a backgroundAlpha attribute meaning that when the column is selected it covers the alternating row colors. Looks bad and decreases readability. Any suggestions? Any way to create my own version of AdvancedDataGridColumn and reference it from AdvancedDataGrid? (I've done this with AdvancedDataGridHeaderRenderer for example). cheers, ethan
[flexcoders] ColumnSeries Question
Greetings- A client has uneven data. One of the series they'd like to chart contains 80 categories but in most cases there are only values in 4 or 5 of the 80 categories, which 4 or 5 change over time. Looks kind of like this (supposing a series with categories A - Z): Group 1 Series Item A Series Item X Series Item M Series Item C Group 2 Series Item D Series Item Z Series Item J Series Item Q etc. As you might imagine, this looks bad when graphed as you get 75 empty spaces per group, 5 columns and tons of wasted space. Obviously it would be desirable to not reserve space, missing series items or for series items lacking a value or whose value was 0. Suggestions for accomplishing this? cheers, ethan

[flexcoders] Best option for implementing a growl like notification system ?
Hi all, I had a question regarding an AIR utility class that I am trying to finish. The class is pretty simple, it is basically an AIR implementation of the Mac Growl UI (notification windows that pop open on the right edge of the display). Most AIR applications seem to use some implementation of the functionality so I decided to write a generic one that I could open source and let everyone use it. My question is pretty simple. Like growl, I wanted to bring out a number of rectangular notification windows that fade out after some time. There are 3 ways I can see this being accomplished: 1) Open new NativeWindow for each notification 2) Open one transparent nativeWindow add children to it calculate its size based on the number of children being added (notifications), and then place the window appropriately on the screen's edge 3) Open one transparent nativeWindow to the size of the screen (resolution), and add notifications to its right edge. Is there one implementation over another that may have better performance ? #2 seems it may since it creates one native window of the exact size it needs, but its the most work. Any thoughts ?
Re: [flexcoders] Architecture / Design question...
Having one component with different states or a viewstack with all of the options may be attractive for a few variants, but I'd probably go for instantiating a specific UI interface once it's known which is required. You could either base the UI variants off a common ancestor, or use a common interface. In flex it makes little difference if a component is created from MXML or actionscript. Given the clear uncertainty that you have I would suggest an initial implementation with a couple of UI variants and see how well it works for you rather than try and get the whole thing right first time.

I think if HibernateAssembler were to implement an interface and then on HibernateType.java line 237 the interface is cast and used; then jdk proxies would work.

As part of this simplified configuration feature, the assembler is going into the metadata for hibernate and it seems like the protection-level on that method has changed or is different in the version you are using than the one we compiled against. We are using 3.2.5 I believe. You should not need to change any configuration as it is compatible with the old format. You can remove the metadata section entirely and it will generate the id properties and lazy=true associations for each hibernate association.You can then add assoc tags as needed to change the defaults.Any associated destinations which are not defined are not directly accessible via clients though they are created so you don't have to declare all destinations in your model - just the ones you use fill or getItem calls on. Back to the original error, I guess the other spring configuration you were using was generating some proxy class which did not extend HibernateAssembler? What version of spring are you using?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Interview Questions
I think giving an example is perfectly fine answer. But in words it would be something like this: You put an event attribute on the component tag. The name of the attribute is the event type the component should listen for. The value of the attribute is the body of the event handler to be executed when it hears that event. The event handler can use an implied argument named 'event' to access the Event instance.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Define repeaters at runtime
I understand that arrays can hold references to components
so I've recoded to push and pop the images from ImageArray
to set the properties on the individual Images.
You shouldn't have to push and pop anything. If the ith element of the array is
a reference to an Image instance, then setting imageArray[i].source in a loop
should work fine. What are you setting it to, and how does it not work?

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Define repeaters at runtime
It works - please ignore the previous post. Wow, the ability to push
components into arrays like this opens up so many possibilities -
especially when working with flex frameworks. I find it strange the
documentation doesn't highlight this feature - otherwise I missed it.
Thanks again!
Gordon - sorry for the confusion - I'm confused myself! When I started
this thread I was looking for a way to dump components into an Array
e.g. 64 Images into an array ImageArray so that I could set the
properties of the images by setting the array directly e.g.
for (i=0;i64;i++)
{
ImageArray[i].source=some.png;
}
I mistakenly thought it was working as initially all of the 64 images
have the same source and this was showing up correctly. What I found
out that this is not the case (and probably why I didn't find it in
the docs). I understand that arrays can hold references to components
so I've recoded to push and pop the images from ImageArray to set the
properties on the individual Images. I liked the functionality of
using a repeater defined in MXML where I could reference my
ImageArray directly. I haven't found a way to define this repeater
at runtime though.
Sorry for the long reply - hope it makes sense.
[flexcoders] Problem with custom component tabbing in TabNavigator
I have created an extension of the DateField() (ValidatedDateField())
component. The main purpose of this extension is to call an extension to
the TextInput component.
Everything seems to work swimmingly. I have found that in some cases
however, the tab key (tab index order) handling gets messed up. Because
of the poor tab handling design in flex, the method that we use to
control the tab order is by placing the fields in the order in the mxml
file that we want. This seems to work most of the time.
I have found that on forms where the custom datefield components are in
a TabNavigator canvas that the ValidatedDateField() that I have created
will cause the tab order to break. In one case it causes the focus to go
to a dataGrid in another container above the one the
ValidatedDateField() is in. My best guess is that it causes the next
field to be the first editable field within the TabNavigator canvas that
the datefield is in.
If I make the field editable=false, the tabbing seems to work fine
irrespective of the TabNavigator.
My conclusion is that when the custom TextInput portion of the
DateField gets instantsiated the tab order gets hosed.
I have looked through the code for the ComboBase and DateField to see if
I can tell where the tab order gets defined and I can't see it. I saw a
line that says;
textInput.parentDrawsFocus = true;
and thought that might have something to do with it, but I can't
replicate that in my code, I get an inaccessible error.
If my assumption that I am not creating the textInput component
correctly is true, the question is;
How can I ensure that the custom textInput component portion of my
DateField component gets the same tab order as the DateField itself?
Here is the creatChildren method of the custom DateField Component;
override protected function createChildren():void {
super.createChildren();removeChild(textInput);
if(this.textInput){ // Use ValidatedTextInput instead of TextInput
and Setup various fields //needed by ValidatedTextInput
textInput = new ValidatedTextInput(); textInput[dataType] =
date; textInput[formatter] = _dateFormat;
textInput[minDataChars] = _minDataChars; textInput[maxDataChars]
= _maxDataChars; textInput[minValue] = _minValue;
textInput[maxValue] = _maxValue; textInput[id] = vti +
this.id; textInput[rootOwner] = this.parent;
textInput[charactersAlsoPermitted] = _charactersAlsoPermitted;
textInput[formatData] = _formatData; textInput[doValidateData] =
_doValidateData; textInput[defaultValue] = _defaultValue;
textInput.addEventListener(focusOut,updateTextValue)
textInput.addEventListener(textChanged,updateTextValue)
addChild(textInput);} }
Since the application that I am working on contains a number of heads
down data entry environments, this is a critical issue for me.
All help is greatly appreciated.
