RE: [flexcoders] how to pass data when creating a popup window
Andrew, The instance of the new window is returned by the createPopUp call. var newwindow:MovieClip=mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, windowClass, true, (deferred: true}); newwindow.var1="new value"; windowClass.mxml: ?xml version="1.0" ? mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="..." mx:Script var var1="orig value"; /mx:Script ... /mx:TitleWindow - Dan Here is the asdoc on createPopUp: createPopUp staticcreatePopUp(parent:MovieClip, className:Object, modal:Boolean, initobj:Object, broadcastOutsideEvents:Boolean):MovieClip Creates a top level window. Modal windows must be destroyed by calling deletePopUp(), which is added to the top level window. Parameters parent - Object to use to center the new top level window. The top level window is probably actually parented by _root. className - Class of object to convert into the top level window. modal - If true, the window is modal. initobj - broadcastOutsideEvents - If true, dispatches mouseDownOutside events if the mouse is clicked outside the window Returns Reference to new top level window. -Original Message- From: Andrew Spaulding [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 02, 2004 10:31 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] how to pass data when creating a popup window hi all, im using the command mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, windowName, true, (deferred: true}); ive got a var declared inside the window that is being opened, but how can i set it when the popup window is created? regards, Andrew
When to use executeBindings() ?
Has anyone discovered a pattern as to when a repeater needs to be manually told to executeBindings() and when it will happen auto- magically? I haven't found the pattern yet, I'm stumbling around blindly by calling it manually if it doesn't seem to work. I'd love to know more definitively exactly when it should be needed, as I can't tell whats a bug which should be reported, and what is my own addle mindedness. any advice? thanks, as always jeff
RE: [flexcoders] wait loop ...... event.call is AWESOME
I shouldnt have been so whiney,
this turned out to be easier than I thought, doing just what I said below,
using an array to track completion of a queue of external calls.
The event.call token/dynamic property
technique is hugely powerful. Strangely, I cant seem to get an
uncorrupted copy of the Chapter 20 pdf. Ill keep trying.
Thanks for the help!

wait loop to synchronize asyncronous call?
My service event handler is working fine,
using event.call properties to send the result to the correct component
instance.
But I have a procedural path that tries to
use the returned data before it arrives. Essentially I am building an arrayof
data from several sources, that may or may not be external
If I cant do a wait or sleep or
pause, I will have to do detect if there are any external servicecalls, request
them first, storing an array of requests somewhere, decrementing the array when
each data call returns, and finally doing my local processing when all the
calls are returned. Plus I want them in the order I request them.
Yikes! Well if it was easy, I wouldnt be making the big bucks!
Thanks,
Tracy

Hi,
The Flash Player doesn't support a
threading model like you're looking for. There is only one thread for
ActionScript code. So if the processing you're talking about is on the
server what you'll do is call your service, then place any code that depends on
that service having completed in some function that will be called by your
service's result handler. You can also put up a shim to block all
user-interaction in the meantime if the busy cursor isn't enough. I think
we have an example of that in our extras folder.

Subject: [flexcoders] wait
loop to synchronize asyncronous call?
I'd like to set up a loop that will block current
processing until
some condition is met.
setInterval, and the various timers I see onthe
forums allow one to
run some function after some interval for
animation effects and
such. But I need an implementation that will
allow me to do
something like:
.
do{
//just wait
}(while mycomponent.isDataReady ==
false) //DOES NOT WORK
processData(myComponent.getData);
...
Any suggestions?

RE: [flexcoders] When to use executeBindings() ?
You shouldn't need to call executeBindings() except in extreme circumstances. During compilation, Flex creates watchers for each object (including parameters to function calls) in each binding expression. If you are making changes internal to Arrays of objects in the Repeater's dataProvider and the watchers aren't catching changes, you can probably reorganize objects in your binding expressions rather than call executeBindings() manually. Please file a bug and we'll check out the problem. It sounds like we just need to improve the Repeater/Binding documentation a little. We prefer when things work automagically to having folks stumble around blindly. :) Thanks, -e -Original Message- From: jeff tapper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 8:54 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] When to use executeBindings() ?

RE: [flexcoders] populating tree with external xml
Hi Josh,
You're using a Model which doesn't
distinguish between attributes and child properties. So I think you can do
this:
mx:Tree height=200
change=selectedNode=event.target.selectedItem
Then hopefully the rest will work.

Subject: [flexcoders] populating
tree with external xml
I'm trying to populate an mx:Tree with an external XML
document
consisting only of nested node tags with
label and data
attributes. I'm using the Flex Samples Tree
example
(http://www.macromedia.com/flex/samples/explorer/complib/TreeDemo.mxm
l) as a guide. The Tree displays the XML document
contents
correctly, but when I click on a node, the
mx:Label I have to
display the node's data isn't working. Here's the
code:
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml
mx:Script
var selectedNode:Object;
/mx:Script
mx:Model id=myTree
source=tree.xml/
mx:HBox
horizontalGap=30
mx:Tree
height=200
change=selectedNode=event.target.selectedItem.attributes
mx:dataProvider
{myTree}
/mx:dataProvider
/mx:Tree
mx:Panel id=displayPanel title=I'm a Panel
width=200
mx:Label text={selectedNode.label} id=myLabel/
/mx:Panel
/mx:HBox
/mx:Application
Here is what the XML file looks like:
node label=Root Node
node label=Level 1 Node
1
node label=Level 2
Node 1 data="">
node label=Level 2
Node 2 data="">
/node
node label=Level 1 Node 2
data="">
/node
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
RE: [flexcoders] DEVnet subscription and Flex
Hi To date, the DRKs has not had any informationfor Flex. It may in the future. But the vast majority of the DevNet customers are not using Flex, so you should not expect it to be a major component of the DRKs in the near term. DevNet is a great deal if you are a serious user of some subset of Dreamweaver, Flash, ColdFusion--both in terms of the DRK content and in terms of 12 months of updates/upgrades to the tools.If you are using one or more of these, and also using Flex, I'd reccomend it. If you are primarily using Flex, I wouldn't try to do a hard sell on it for you.
