Title: Message

Very interesting to see the opposite approach of me; no Script tags.  Your app itself seems to work very well; the service itself is dog slow, but you have the cursor, resizing, alert on error... nice!   1. It's already selectable; do you mean editable?  It's set to false by default.   2. That's what I did... but I installed itcustom; don't know if the one that comes with FlexBuilder 1.5 is the same way or not.  Bet it's in the docs somewhere.   3. ???  :: shrugs ::   Nice job, mangxt!   ----- Original Message ----- From: John C. Bland II To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 3:41 AM Subject: [flexcoders] 1st App - Questions 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 theMXNA 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 inhere 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 seeearlier setting the dataProvider worked but everything was merely an item and I hadno 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; }   Thisway 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 toknow 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! ------------------------------------------ JDEV Inc.
