RE: [flexcoders] Code not executing in Popup Window

Wow! - Tracy, that actually worked! - I did as you suggested, and removed everything except my <TitleWindow> tags, and an ActionScript function - that sends Trace() text to my debug window (triggered by the creationComplete event).
 
So, where do you think my previous code is failing?  There is a radically small amount of code from my first example - so I am really baffled and frustrated that Flex is getting tripped up this easily... I will try to tweak where I put certain pieces of code, etc. but I gotta say, this is really odd - since this SAME code, works fine when it's in an <Application> tag.
 
Typically, immediately after the main container code, is where I put my ActionScript Code.  Like in the Root Application, I put my ActionScript functions just after the "Application" tag - or if it's a Custom Component, I put my ActionScript functions just after the Tags that define the component.
 
Are there any rules I need to follow, regarding WHERE I should declare my ActionScript Variables, Functions or Objects?  Also, are there any specific rules, as to where I should put my RemoteObject declarations - so my code executes reliably?
 
It's a little disappointing to have this many problems, so close to the beginning of learning this new language...  I understand what it means (and what it takes) to learn & take on a new language - but to have all these goofy problems, really takes the fun out of things...
 
Well, if you could shed more light on these problems I am having, I would greatly appreciate it :)

Rip out everything but the creationComplete handler with the trace.  See what happens.

It's not just RemoteObject -

 

TRACE doesn't even work - which means, the code isn't even executing -

 

Is there any reason, why the code isn't executing properly?

 

Thanks again,

 

Mike

I don’t see a problem but I know that others have run into issues when the RemoteObject has been contained in a popup.  It seems to work better if it’s hung off the Application or something that’s a little more “permanent” instead.

Subject: [flexcoders] Code not executing in Popup Window

 

Hello All,

I have "known to be working" code, contained inside of a Custom Created
TitleWindow component.  The code handles all the RemoteObject
declarations, and populates a List Control, upon the Result Event.

The Popup Window is launched from a Button residing in my Main
Application.

After clicking the launch Button, the Window pops up perfectly and all
the controls are there, but nothing happens.  In fact, the function that
retrieves the data, also sends a trace() message to the debug window -
and nothing even happens when I do that.

It's almost as if the code contained in my custom control, doesn't even
exist.  Is my problem, the way in which I am creating my Popup Window?
There must be something simple I am doing wrong...


Here is the code in my main application that launches the window:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
public function launchWindow()
{
      var pop = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Categories,
false, null, true);
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----


Here is the code, inside my custom component called "Categories.mxml":
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
title="Manage Categories" closeButton="true" click="deletePopUp()"
creationComplete="getCategoriesOnly();">

<mx:RemoteObject id="remoteService" source="services.InfoNexus"
endpoint="http://www.mysite.com/flashgateway.aspx"
showBusyCursor="true">
      <mx:method name="getCategoriesOnly"
result="getCategoriesOnly_Handler(event.result)"
fault="getCategoriesOnly_Fault(event.fault)"/>
</mx:RemoteObject>

      <mx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
           
                  //======= CATEGORIES =======//
                  function getCategoriesOnly()
                  {
                        trace("getCategories just kicked off");
                        remoteService.getCategoriesOnly();
                  }
                 
                  function getCategoriesOnly_Handler(result)
                  {
                        trace("getCategories_Handler just kicked
off");
                        categories_List.dataProvider = result;
                  }
                 
                  function getCategoriesOnly_Fault(result)
                  {
                       
                  }
                 
            ]]>
      </mx:Script>

      <mx:VBox>
            <mx:Label text="Categories:"/>
            <mx:List id="categories_List" width="250" height="200"/>
      </mx:VBox>

      <mx:ControlBar>
            <mx:Button label="Get Categories"
click="getCategoriesOnly()"/>
            <mx:Button label="Delete"/>
      </mx:ControlBar>

</mx:TitleWindow>
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could you all shed some light, as to why this isn't working?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
