I have never heard of this before, where could I find out about it (I come from 
database design not java)

Another solution to this is to use helper
classes, instead of compiling the script block into the component class.  I
never have more than a single script block in an mxml file, rarely have more
than one included script file, and often have none of either. 

   

You can use the code-behind technique, or
static functions in a separate class, or a normally instantiated helper class.

Multiple Script Files 



   

   









A similar question. To simplfy things I have created a
script file for each table with the relevant actionscript functions for the
table in the file.



i.e.

 

 

 

etc etc 



Is this a common way to handle script complexity as an application grows?

The app only uses a couple of components so there is a fair bit of actionScript
code tied to the main app file.



Thanks

[Tracy Spratt]

The constraints are styles, not properties.  So to use constraints in AS,
you need to define them in a style sheet, and/or use setStyle().

Thank you for your reply.

 

I work only with AS, I mean with no MXML. 

I tried to use the Canvas container but using the mx.containers.Canvas,
there is no right property (even top, bottom, left).

 

What do I miss?

You can always do this where the right / top is constraining the item.

Why use an itemRenderer?  Looks like a labelFunction would do what you want.

RE: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Counting XML nodes with attributes having specific values (using EX4 perhaps)...

[Tracy Spratt]

The length() of the resultant XML list of the e4x expression will be the
count of the nodes found.

Hello all!

I'm creating a charting application in Flex and I have been given XML in the
following format...








I need to COUNT the number of nodes/rows that have a value of "x1" for
attribute a, and say..."y2" and "y1" for attribute b, etc., so I can
aggregate and chart them.

Anyone know of an efficient and effective way of doing this in ActionScript
3?

Thanks to all in advance!

Re: [flexcoders] How does Button 3 knows that it has been clicked in this example?

[Pat Buchanan]

Fred:

There are multiple ways to listen for events, such as click events.  Button
1 and button 2 add the listener inline (click="handleClick(event)") in the
MXML markup.

For button 3, the author listens for the even using this line:

button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick);

It get's called when the app is initialized (initialize="init()")

You can delete that line and replace it with the way button 1 and 2 do it if
you want, but both do the exact same thing.

Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus

[suman gayakwad]

Alex,

 As soon as the application loads up, im getting the login
screen(TitlwWindow component) which has got three fields username, password
and domain. I'm trying to set the focus to the username field so that user
can start typing. The focus is set to username field in IE, Firefox and also
in Chrome but not in Safari browser. The weird thing here(in Safari browser)
as soon as i click on the application,(ie. somewhere within the browser
window)  the focus will be set to username field.

Is this browser plug-in issue or bug on Flex side ?

Thanks,
Suman

[flexcoders] Cairngorm store example - newbie binding question #2

[normc_actionscript]

Thank you Tracy for answering my previous question.

New one:
Why is 'handler' bound to 'confirmOrder' in this snippet?
 

confirmOrder is a function in the same file.
Is it just a way to set an initial value?

Thanks,
Norm

[flexcoders] Re: Technique to tell the filterFunction to chill for a sec before going into eff

[steveb805]

Actually, this is a non-issue.  The visual activity isn't as bad as I thought 
if I just set the filterfunction to null while I'm doing my editing of the 
value object.

This is a bit old but i had the same problem again and it's quite easy to
fix by setting the width of the controlBar :-)
