I'm wanting to spruce up the default dataTips for the HSlider thumbs
(similiar to the behavior for the the various charting components),
but somewhere along the way I've got a disconnect that is preventing
this.
I've created a new class, extending HSlider, as follows:
[Style(name="dataTipRenderer", type="Class", inherit="no")]
public class MyHSlider extends HSlider
{
public function MyHSlider() {
super();
}
}
and reference the component as follows:
<components:MyHSlider width="{currentPuck.width}" id="hsliderTimes"
minimum="{_entry.startDate.time}" maximum="{_entry.endDate.time}"
dataTipPlacement="bottom" allowThumbOverlap="false"
liveDragging="true"
thumbCount="2" values="{[_entry.startDate.time,
_entry.endDate.time]}" tickInterval="{30*60*1000}" showDataTip="true"
dataTipRenderer="renderers.SplitPuckSliderDataTipRenderer"/>
my renderer code is as follows, but it never reaches the set data
function, among other things. I based this code upon what seems to
work just fine for the out-of-the-box dataTip rendering capabilities
of the charting components:
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
borderStyle="solid" borderColor="0xffa500"
verticalGap="0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingTop="0"
backgroundColor="#ffffff" width="310"
>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.events.ToolTipEvent;
import mx.charts.HitData;
import mx.managers.ToolTipManager;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import flash.events.TextEvent;
override public function set data(value:Object):void{
super.data=value;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:DateFormatter id="SampleDateFormatter"
formatString="JJ:NN"/>
<mx:Label text="Testind renderer {SampleDateFormatter.format
(data)}"/>
</mx:VBox>
can anyone tell what I'm doing incorrectly?
