Re: [flexcoders] Alternative to Repeater

[JesterXL]

You basically do: - create a new abstract base class for your component as ActionScript - utilize DataSelector on that class - extend that class in a new file - have the new file do something like this   function modelChanged() {     cancelAllDoLaters();     doLater(this, "redrawForm"); }   function redrawForm() {     canvas_mc.destroyAllChildren();     var i:Number = length;     while(i--)     {         var item:Object = getItemAt(i);         canvas_mc.createChild(SomeComponent);     } }     What is happening here is whenever the dataProvider changes, the form is redrawn.  It's only redrawn once per frame in case dataProvider has 50 billion changes.   If you see the createChild call for the canvas, basically you could put in logic, say, to create images, and then call load on them based on the url for the current item.   Then, you can finally use that AS component as MXML elsewhere.  Make sense?     ----- Original Message ----- From: superabe superabe To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 11:09 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Alternative to Repeater Is there an alternative to using a Repeater , that I could make use of in my component (AS based). For e.g.   Say I have a component called "Comp"   Comp.mxml (Pseudo-code) =========== <mx:VBox>   <mx:Script>         public var dp:Array;   </mx:Script>     <mx:Repeater dataProvider="{dp}">     <mx:Image source="{currentItem.url}"/>   </mx:Repeater>   </mx:VBox>   Comp is used in Main.mxml and the dataprovider for Comp is set in Main.mxml. Main also may add and remove items from the the dataprovider for Comp on subsequent events.   I would like to write Comp as an Actionscript class and avoid a Repeater all together. I may be missing something really obvious, but how would I do that ?   TIA,   - superabe         -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
