[flexcoders] Re: Constraining the DragManager
Hey Alex, That doesn't work. Grabbing the cursor from the system manager and then setting it's x value to a constant does indeed keep the cursor on a vertical line but the problem is then the drag proxy image is following your old mouse position (looks somewhat ghost like :). I then tried accessing the drag proxy directly by grabbing it from the system manager and setting the x, to no avail. The problem is that the drag proxy's mouse move event fires before the one I added even when I set the priority to 1. I think it has to do something with DragProxy having an [Excluded] meta tag. There were even some comments in that class mentioning that the developer was having some troubles. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui aha...@... wrote: No, I would go to systemManager.cursorChildren.

work around:

browserManager = BrowserManager.getInstance();
browserManager.setTitle('your page title');
browserManager.addEventListener(BrowserChangeEvent.APPLICATION_URL_CHANGE,

[flexcoders] Re: how to enable stack traceback?
Yes I did try a simple case. I put some code that causes a null pointer exception into a screen's onCreationComplete handler. I see the traceback inside the debugger but nothing when running the program without the debugger. There seems to be a lot of confusion about this issue, and also just about the terminology to talk about it. I wonder if it's really just a Mac vs. Windows issue? In other kinds of software development it's common to see differences across platforms, but it's much less common with Flex. What version of the Flash player are you running?

Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] XML e4x error
Ok, that fixes the problem, but it doesn't explain why the problem was happening in the first place. Or it doesn't explain why the first three examples ever worked.

You need to read the section titled Summary and Background.
In that section it states Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used in Flex to

we've supported simple type selectors and universal class selectors. Customers
have requested more advanced CSS selectors and in Gumbo we plan to provide two
new selector types - id selectors and descendant selectors - as well as fix
class selectors so that they can be a condition of type selectors.
Now that you know ID selectors will be added in Gumbo you can do a Google
search on Flex Gumbo and find out that Gumbo is the code name for the next
version of Flex (ie. Flex 4/Flash Builder 4). Gumbo was defined in July 2008

[flexcoders] combining multiple styles
In a Flex .css document, is there any shorthand for using the same value on
multiple styles?
For instance:
.leftTab{
selectedUpSkin, selectedOverSkin, selectedDownSkin:
Embed(source=myImage.png);
}

[flexcoders] How to tell when column visiblity change is done?
I have a datagrid with a lot of columns. Sometimes I may hide/show 20 of those at a time, this takes up a few seconds and I'd like to give the user some feedback when its ready. Is there any way to get visibilityChanged event or something along these lines? If there is no solution like this and I need to poll the datagrid to check real visibility not the dumb visible property of a column where would I look and what would I check?

[flexcoders] Best Pattern for a Complex Application Options/Settings Box
On the verge of creating a non-Trivial Dialog screen/box for my app where a User creates categories, chooses settings (warn when deleting), Default behaviour, etc... It'll have 3 tabs. I'll be pulling the settings from a MySql Options table. Is it common practice, even for Complex dialog's, to: - just use the usual TitleWindow with createPopup, which is commonly used for more trivial input your name stuff ? - *not* pull the SQL data from the Options table, until a user actually launches open the Dialog Box. ( It's possible to, on App init(), to load the data into an array, so that the dialog opens quicker, but a user may use the Settings module once every 5 uses of the App ) Steve

My best guess is that it is because of namespaces, but I can't see a differences between the XML objects that this code works for, and the one it doesn't work for. The [0] should be optional (at least relative to getting a null value or not). I'm not sure how else to state my goal other than how the expression is already written. I want the d attribute of the path child and I want it to work for all of the cases I've supplied or find the reason why it's not working so I can fix the last case.

way the datatype of pool in database table is yes/no. am using access.
thanks

yes/no is looking for a boolean value. when the checkbox in the flex ui is checked the value recorded in database is yes but remember yes/no in access is a checkbox in the database column so if in the flex ui the checkbox is checked then the checkbox is also checked in the access table and if its not checked in the flex ui then the same in access table.

Yes I did try a simple case. I put some code that causes a null pointer exception into a screen's onCreationComplete handler. I see the traceback inside the debugger but nothing when running the program without the debugger. There seems to be a lot of confusion about this issue, and also just about the terminology to talk about it. I wonder if it's really just a Mac vs. Windows issue? In other kinds of software development it's common to see differences across platforms, but it's much less common with Flex. What version of the Flash player are you running?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Constraining the DragManager
The DragProxy listens for the mouse in capture phase so it beats out any target phase listener no matter what the priority.

Grabbing the cursor from the system manager and then setting it's x value to a constant does indeed keep the cursor on a vertical line but the problem is then the drag proxy image is following your old mouse position (looks somewhat ghost like :). I then tried accessing the drag proxy directly by grabbing it from the system manager and setting the x, to no avail. The problem is that the drag proxy's mouse move event fires before the one I added even when I set the priority to 1. I think it has to do something with DragProxy having an [Excluded] meta tag.
