I've got two different repeaters in my flex app. One renders
checkboxes, one doesn't. The one that works is wrapped inside a canvas
in an accordian component, and the items don't render until that section
is clicked by the user. The second one is just rendering inside a
canvas on a panel. Seems the Flex app needs more time to grab the data
before rendering or something?
This renders:
<mx:Accordion width="400" height="300">
<mx:Canvas label="Option 1">
<mx:Button label="hi"/>
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas label="Tag Filters">
<mx:VBox width="300">
<mx:Repeater id="rSkills"
dataProvider="{_user.skills}" >
<mx:Label text="test render"/>
<mx:CheckBox id="CB1
label="{rSkills.currentItem.name}"/>
</mx:Repeater>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Canvas>
<!--more MXML here-->
</mx:Accordion>
Does not render, even though the dp is the same:
<mx:Panel width="400" height="300" x="400" y="300">
<mx:Canvas label="Group Filters" >
<mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%">
<mx:Repeater id="rSkills2"
dataProvider="{_user.skills}" >
<mx:Label text="test render"/>
<mx:CheckBox id="CB2
label="{rSkills2.currentItem.name}"/>
</mx:Repeater>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Panel>
I have verified the dataProvider IS binded correct AND as I have done
above, I can even make the dataprovider the same for both, but the
renderer in the Panel still does not render. It's like it needs time to
grab the data or something - is there an event I can use to render the
checkboxes later? I use ApplicationComplete event to call Actionscript
and set my _user data class which creates the dataprovider data, maybe
I'm doing something out of order? Seems like that's what I need to do,
but I'm not sure. Have no idea why one renders and another doesn't,
even if they have the same dataprovider, other than the renderer needs
more time to get the data it needs or something. How do you order
things so data is first, UI second?
