Re: [flexcoders] PopUp from within a class

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 10:48:00 -0700

Yea, I'm going to need some help. I ended up using:
 
Application.application.callLater(parseOrders, args);
 
parseOrders is a new function where I basically broke out the loop into a seperate call to the above listed code. This still did not display my popup before the loop properly. Maybe i'm not doing it right?
 
for each(var vendorOrder:VendorOrder in vendorOrders) {
  var args:Array = new Array();
  args.push(vendorOrder);
  Application.application.callLater(parseOrders, args);
}
 
private function parseOrders(vendorOrder:VenorOrder):void {
  // do what was in my loop originally instead of callLater()...
}

I looked in the docs, and it's suppose to be: callLater(myFunction, args)
 
When I try this, I get Error - 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method callLater.
 
Thanks!

Use callLater() to start the loop. That will give the ui a chance to update before the heavy processing begins.  If you have heavy processing going on, like in a loop, the UI will not redraw until the loop is done.  To change this you need to break the loop up into smaller bits and use callLater() to get the ui to update.

 

Jesse helped me with this a year or so ago. I couldn't find his example any more.  If you need more help I will try.

That's perfect, thanks.

 

One other issue I have is when popuping up the window before a large loop, the window doesn't actually render until the loop is done. Is there a reason for that or a workaround? I'm working on the same thing as in another thread about a 'Please Wait...' type of thing, but I want to put a progress bar and do setProgress(n, x); where n is the incrimented number in the loop and x is the total loop count.

 

Thanks!

Hi Doug,

 

Try using the code in the zip attached herewith..

 

I have given a complete example of how PopupManager will work.

 

Hope this solves your problem!

Martina

Yes, I've dealt with PopUp's plenty of times, but the problem is while I'm within a class object, it will not let me reference the document. I've tried using "this", and it does not work. this.parent is null. The only thing I've found to work now is the following:

 

var tw:TitleWindow = new TitleWindow();
tw.title = 'Test Window...' ;
var txt:Label = new Label();
txt.text = 'THIS IS A TEST';
tw.addChild(txt);
PopUpManager.addPopUp(tw, Application.application as DisplayObject, true);
 

 

I'm not sure if there is any other way though...?

 

Thanks!

Hi Doug,

 

You can make use of PopupManager Class to create a popup dynamically.

Does anyone know how to create a popup from within a class? I can't seem to reference anything of type DisplayObject such as .parent and so on... I've even tried instantiating SystemManager.getSWFRoot(this), and other things with SystemManager... Nothing is working.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!
