Defining the startup class in FlexBuilder
In Flexbuilder, when I press F6 or ALT/F6, it compiles and executes the file currently being edited. As most of my time seems to be in editing components, is there anyway of specifying the executeable application root without switching to it in the edit window.

Accessing POJO using remoteobject
I have spend couple of hours to figure out how to access java object using remoteobject tag but haven't been successful, I would appreciate if somebody to tell me what am I doing wrong. I am basically trying to run the cairnogorm framework sample application The problem that I am facing is first of all both the java code and flex action script shares the same package hierarchy i.e. com.iterationtwo.demo.* so I cannot copy both the java folder and flex AS folder under the WEB-INF\flex\user_classes folder Options that I have tried a) created a new folder java under the WEB-INF\flex\ folder and added the mapping for that in actionscript-classpath folder and copied java package under this folder, this did not worked b) secondly since both the java code and flex code has the same folder hierarchy I copied the java files under the flex folder itself this also did not worked Error I am getting is : service .. not found. Side notes I am using jrun4 I have created the whitelist entry for the remote object Is it possible to deploy jar (containing java source code) ? Thanks Arjun

DateField: DateFormatter noCancel ?
Hi folks, is there a DIRECT way to use a given mx:dateFormatter into a DateField ? (I know I can do a function that calls the formatter and pass that function, but a direct link between both controls would be nice isn't it ?) For future version: will be nice if we can use it like : mx:DateFormatter id=versionFormatter formatString=-MM-DD / mx:DateField id=asOfDate dateFormatter=versionFormatter / Also a simple question: Is there a way to avoid allowing the user to set the date to null by re-selecting the date selected ? (In some apps, some dates can never be null) Thanks, r0main

childDescriptors array/ UIObjectDescriptors.id is undefined
Hi As i understand things the childDescriptors array (an array of UIObjectDescriptors) is created/populated when you create the mxml. When i do this myCustomComponent id=myCustomComponent /myCustomComponent the id property of the UIObjectDescriptor is 'myCustomComponent'. which is correct. Is there a way i can force the id to be the className (ie myCustomComponent in this case) I tried 'id = className' in the constructor of myBox (which extends a mx:Box class).the base container of myCustomComponent i.e. myCustomComponent.mxml -- myBox . /myBox thanks

I ended up doing something similar, but using the initialize property of
the DateField rather than the app as a whole. I also had to keep using the
selectedDate property to set the same date in the calendar chooser.
I had been looking for a somewhat tidier solution (where the default date

Question about layers or something similar
Ok I have ran in to problems when it comes to linking a repeater to a multidimensional array and I am not sure if thats possible. What I am wondering is this lets say you have a canvass container and you have two Hbox containers inside it that have the same x and y and there both set to be visible is there a way to stack buttons on top of another and make one appear when you need it? I know how to change the visiblity attribute what I mean is have two buttons one on top of another and then make it so that I know what layer to look at?

What Matt is saying is that if the data

this[myComponentId] is
saying return the property of this(the application or component) that is

It is esentially the same as saying eval(myComponentId)

Subject: [flexcoders] RE: Tree
component confusion
My objective is to allow the user to drag a tree node and
drop it on another node, and then reflect visually the changes he/she has made.
I since learned this is a lot more complicated than meets
the eye because the index of the drop location seems to change. From what I
have seen, the moment a branch opens, its index becomes 0, and when it's
closed, it's index becomes relative to its parent node. So if Node A is the
topmost node, and Node B is its child node, while Node B is closed, it's index
is 1, but the moment I open Node B, it's index becomes 0.
This is a problem because the only method I see that I can
use for my purpose is the addTreeNodeAt(index). And if there were multiple
branches open in the entire tree, we end up having multiple nodes with the SAME
index!
Can anyone give me an example of a drag-n-drop operation
entirely within a tree? The examples I have found deal with dragging datagrid
items on a tree, or dragging items from a tree to a list box. What about an
example that drags a tree item and drops on another tree item within the same
tree?

this[myComponentId] is
saying return the property of this(the application or component) that is
named myComponentId.
It is esentially the same as saying
eval(myComponentId)
So selectedChild =
this[myComponentId] is getting a ref to the real child component.

ViewStack selectedChild
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the replywhat you coded
is (I think) exactly what I did, but doesnt work. An example of
what I have is:
function x(event:Object):Void
{
viewStack.selectedChild=event.target.selectedItem.data;
}
The function is called on a list change
event, and the dataProvider for the list has the data property set to the id of
a container in the viewstack.
TIA for any info.

ViewStack selectedChild
The selectedChild is a reference to the
actual object that you would find at the selectedIndex. So what is the data
that you have that will help you determine which object you want to
select? If each element of the dataProvider is the id of the child (this
means that every child of your ViewStack has an id), you could simply do
myViewStack.selectedChild = this[data].
Not sure what youre trying to
really do here.

Ok, Ive been coding too long
todayI need to take a data attribute from a dataProvider and cast into
an Object that can be used in the statement
ViewStack.selectedChild=objectI know this is easy but am having some
brain-pain at the momentTIA for any info.

selectedChild
Hi,
Just curiousthe MM docs indicate that setting of the
ViewStack.selectedChild can only be done in AS and not in MXML; however, it
appears from the MM example and my tests that the reverse is true
I have a script that is attempting to set the selectedChild
to a value that matches the id attribute of one of the ViewStacks but it
doesnt work.the ViewStack.selectedIndex works
great...whats up with the selectedChild?
viewStack.selectedChild=event.target.selectedItem.attributes.data;
TIA for any info.
Regards.
RE: [flexcoders] ViewStack selectedChild
Right, which means I think you want this: viewStack.selectedChild=this[event.target.selectedItem.data];

ViewStack selectedChild
Just jumping in here, but selectedChild
is/wants a reference to the actual container component in the view stack.
So unless you have a reference to the container in the data property of the
item, this wont work.
What Matt is saying is that if the data property
contains the id for the viewstack component, then you can usethe
bracket notation to get a reference to the actual object.
this[myComponentId] is
saying return the property of this(the application or component) that is
named myComponentId.
It is esentially the same as saying
eval(myComponentId)
So selectedChild =
this[myComponentId] is getting a ref to the real child component.

RE: [flexcoders] unsupported type found in stream-Flex alert
Hi, Yeah it generally happens when you try to pass entire recordset from server to flash player via Remote Object(Flash Remoting). Try to pass array of objects or structures to client rather than passing recordset... Hope that helps... -abdul -Original Message- From: Veronica Grigoras [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 3:16 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] unsupported type found in stream-Flex alert Hi all, From time to time I'm getting this flex alert popup in my application stating Unsupported type found in stream. I don't see any errors in the application server log (sql exceptions, any other faulty errors), there are no functionality failures either. It doesn't appear constantly, which makes it difficult to duplicate. Is this a configuration issue? Does it have to do with the datatypes mapping between Flex and Java? Thank you, Veronica. Yahoo!
