Bikram,
 
Perhaps I wasn't so clear ... you've created a ViewStack, but you've not made any attempt at implementing the flip effect yourself; this is not an inconsiderable amount of work ... we are not making the code for doing the Flip (which was the result of a good number of days of spiking solutions) effect available at present.  We absolutely welcome others to implement the effect themselves - and if there are small stumbling blocks, we'll share knowledge as appropriate.  But we're not ready to release a working piece of code for general use to the community.
 
If you spend some time yourself trying to do the Flip, and run into *specific* problems, I'm sure someone will be able to help.
 
I'd also take a look at your MXML, is there a reason why you have:
 
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
<mx:Spacer />
 
in your code to create space ?  Have you checked out the height attribute on Spacer ?
 
With regards to your problem being urgent, please see this entry in the FAQ:
 
"5. Guidelines to effective question-asking

Include a useful subject; this will help people find their own questions
and answers later.

Explain what you are trying to accomplish.

Explain the error (include compilation errors or a description of the
runtime behavior).

Be prepared to break your problem down into a simpler scenario in case
someone wants to try to debug the code themselves.  Remember, private
web services are inaccessible; you may need to create some dummy data to
emulate problems.

Phrases to avoid:

"URGENT" (we all have deadlines, no one is intentionally delaying a
response to you)

"Please send code" (this is very frustrating to read as it implies you
aren't interested in learning anything on your own.  Where code is
appropriate you can expect someone to provide it, but in many cases you
will learn more by doing it on your own with appropriate guidance.  It
may be that you're on a deadline and just want to finish, but many of
those who respond regularly would prefer to "teach you to fish" so that
you can answer your own questions next time and even help out others)."
 
Regards,
 
Steven

Bikram,
 
The sample code is not something that we are making available (yet) for download.  If you are a
new user to Flex, I'd recommend that you spend some time becoming comfortable with the MXML
language, and with ActionScript 2.0, and with all the built-in effects (including Parallel and Sequence)
before you get adventurous and start trying to write your own effects in ActionScript 2.0.
 
A general point to everyone (which is in the FAQ for this list) is that rather than asking for code
on the flexcoders list, and expecting full samples to be emailed particular to your problem, you're
not going to get them .... rather you should post the code that you have written, and provide the
list with a small test case that exposes the gap in your understanding that prevents you getting
from where you are, to where you want to be.  If that gap is a full piece of source code, then
there's probably some reading to be done first...
 
Best wishes,
 
Steven

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Design flaw in DataGrid sorting

You can sort Date objects by sorting on their numerical getTime() value, i.e.

<mx:Script>
  private function sortColumn(evt:Object):Void {
    if (evt.target.sortDirection == "DESC") {
      var arrayFlags:Number = Array.DESCENDING;
    } else {
      var arrayFlags:Number = Array.ASCENDING;
    }
    evt.target.sortItems(sortByDate, arrayFlags);
  }

  public function sortByDate(itemA:Object, itemB:Object, flags:Number):Number {
    var a:Date = itemA.date;
    var b:Date = itemB.date;
    if (flags == Array.ASCENDING) {
      if (a.getTime() < b.getTime()) return -1;
      if (a.getTime() == b.getTime()) return 0;
      if (a.getTime() > b.getTime()) return 1;
    } else {
      if (a.getTime() < b.getTime()) return 1;
      if (a.getTime() == b.getTime()) return 0;
      if (a.getTime() > b.getTime()) return -1;
    }
  }
</mx:Script>

<mx:DataGrid
  id="dateGrid"
  dataProvider="{data}"
  headerRelease="sortColumn(event)"
  >
  <mx:columns>
    <mx:Array>
      <mx:DataGridColumn sortable="true" columnName="date" headerText="Date" />
    </mx:Array>
  </mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>


Dirk.
