I am trying to work with what looks like a decent footer datagrid component from http://code.seanhess.net/?p=17&cpage=2#comment-3502
I runs quite nicely, but wreaks havoc on flexbuilder 3. The demo when edited in design mode of FB3 will not allow the selection of anything but the footer component, and that piece it claims is "not a visual component" which I am sure it is not. If I comment It seems as though the "footer" sub-component is defined using a setter/getter. I suspect the footer sub-component is similar to the "columns" sub-component of the datagrid, in that it isn't itself a visual component, but can contain them. I further suspect that it is not defined correctly, and may need metadata or something to tell FB3 how to deal with it. Anybody with any ideas on how to modify this component to work & play well with FB3? Or general pointers on how to create a non visual sub-component that contains visual sub-components? I have looked at and used the Alex Harui's footer grid, and the syntax is cumbersome and counter intuitive and a bit dodgy in some aspects. I seen the derivative works but they use the same syntax.
