Very interesting to see the opposite
approach of me; no Script tags. Your app itself seems to workvery
well; the service itself is dog slow, but you have the cursor, resizing,
alert on error... nice!
1. It's already selectable; do youmean
editable? It's set to false by default.
2. That's what I did... but I installed it
custom; 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!

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 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 Idid 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 returnto
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!
