Well, I fumbled my way through the help docs and put together a pretty coo lil' app (for my first one at least; file attached). I couldn't think of anything useful to do so I looked at the samples and saw the Blog Reader. So, I figured I'd read the MXNA feeds and display them. If someone could critique the app and let me know how everything looks that'd be great. I wanna learn how to do things right from jump.
Being I went through the entire process I now have some questions about
functionality.
Questions:
1) Without using ActionScript, can I make text in a TextArea clickable?
Code excerpt
-----------------
<mx:TextArea x="0" y="0"
text="{info.selectedItem.link}newline{info.selectedItem.excerpt}"
width="100%" height="100%" editable="false"/>
-----------------
How can I make the info.selectedItem.link a link?
2) How can I get the NetConnection Debugger open? Do I need to import
mx.remoting.debug.NetDebugger?
3) Is there a way to take an object (Array or RecordSet) and make that a
Tree's dataProvider without XML'ing it up? I saw a few posts in here
about it but not sure if they answered it (brief looks).
Ex -
function blah(result){
myTree.labelField = "name";
myTree.dataProvider = result;
}
I'm not sure if labelField is an option but I did see earlier setting
the dataProvider worked but everything was merely an item and I had no
control over the folders. What I would really be doing is this:
function blah(result){
var len:Number = result.length;
for(var i:Number = 0; i < len; i++){
result.items[i].posts =
mxnaCFC.getFeedsByCategory(result.items[i].Category);
}
myTree.dataProvider = result;
}
This way I would have an object with each feed stored in the respective
category. I may create my own cfc locally to handle this and return to
Flex but I'd like to know my options.
Well, it's late and I still gotta bust some suds so I better get off
this thing. :-) Thx all for any responses/time invested in this post.
Thx!
