I'm choosing to use HTTPService because I don't want to pay for FDS and it (HTTPService) *seems* simple so that if there are problems, I could easily be able to fix them (as opposed to using FDS and Adobe's proprietary encoding). Also, XML over HTTP is simple and always works. Hooking up remote objects just seems like a pain. The answer to that question ultimately comes down to your specific project needs, of course. I'm not using FDS (for the usual reasons), and there doesn't appear to be an open-source (or otherwise really cheap) alternative to using AMF3 to communicate to a Java backend. So that really leaves some flavor of XML over HTTP as the raw message language and protocol.

As far as I can tell, there are three: object, e4x, and xml. The xml format seems obsolete since we now have e4x. Is there any reason to use xml? I get e4x (pretty sweet, I think this is a *great* language feature). The only drawback I've found so far is the datatype of e4x values. They all seem to be Strings. I get this, but I wonder if there's an easy way to say all @quantity fields are numeric so it'll sort nice in a DataGrid. object seems cool, but I'm not 100% clear how it works. Me neither, frankly. I might consider trying it, though, given that there is apparently some basic type casting done when you use this format, according to the dev guide: By default, the resultFormat property value of HTTPService components and WebService component operations is object, and the data that is returned is represented as a simple tree of ActionScript objects. Flex interprets the XML data that a web service or HTTP service returns to appropriately represent base types, such as String, Number, Boolean, and Date. To work with strongly typed objects, you must populate those objects using the object tree that Flex creates. Can I tell HTTPService which class to bind the objects to? I don't use Flex Builder (again, I don't like to pay for software, and I don't have the money), so it's tough to introspect the objects at runtime (although I did see something about command line debugging, I'll have to look into that).

[flexcoders] Panel and Scrollbars (basic question)
Hi, I'm sure this is excruciatingly simple but i couldn't find an answer (I must be searching with the wrong keywords). I have a Panel. Inside it is a Text component, and a Repeater underneath that (...repeating a CheckBox) . All works fine. I want to set the maxHeight of the Panel to 200px, so that if I get too many Checkboxes appearing, my content will scroll vertically. When I set maxHeight, I get *both* horizontal and vertical scrollbars appearing - the horizontal scrollbar only appears because the width of the vertical scrollbar eats in to the Panel width - therefore I get horizontal scrolling of about 16 pixels. If I set horizontalScrollbarPolicy to false then my content is still clipped. I'm sure I can muster a workaround easily enough (e.g. manually resize Panel based on ScrollEvent etc), but I thought there surely must be something in-built and neater, already in place to deal with this kind of scenario? Any help much appreciated.

[flexcoders] Remove a state from a component at run-time ?
I've written a small view-switching component that is based on mx:Canvas: CanvasSwitcher. It's set up so that if a child UIComponent is added to it at runtime (eg: via mx:AddChild in an mx:State), a new mx:State is automatically added to the CanvasSwitcher instance. The added state is also supplied with an eventListener for the enterState event, such that when the CanvasSwitcher instance's currentState property is set to be equal to the appropriate child UIComponent's id property, that UIComponent's visible property will be set; all others unset. This works well, looks quite declarative, and has helped to make my current project's interface quite flexible at runtime. The problem is that to be truly useful, I need to be able to add a child, remove it some time later, then re-add it. To do that I need to be able to remove a state from the CanvasSwitcher via ActionScript. Can that be done? (I could not see a way in the documentation.) Is this all too crazy? Background: I wanted something quite a bit more flexible than the mx:ViewStack component. Particularly, I envisage being able to group UIComponent instances under additional meta display states, and to re-group them on the fly. That seems hard/clumsy with mx:ViewStack.

[flexcoders] What is the best way to draw about 10,000 to 15,000 rectangles?
Hello folks, I'm trying to put about 10,000 to 15,000 rectangles in a stage. And I'd like to know what could be the best way to do this.. Of course, I can just draw everything on the stage, without having to make instances of a class, which defines the way to draw them. Yet the thing is that, every rectangle,sized about 5~10 pixel width and 3 pixel height, has to respond to events such as mouse over and mouse click events.. So I've tried to make a cell class and made some 10,000 instances of it but adding all of them to the display list takes so long and is just too much Yet forgetting about making instances of this sort of class and using something like BitmapData doesn't give me any idea about how to register events to each cell.. So is there anybody who has developed this sort of application? By the way, the reason I have to draw these so many pieces is because each cell actually represents a container in the harbor and there are just so many of them and my client wants to put all of'em in the application.
[flexcoders] Re: Index of an itemRenderer
I've got a repeater which is creating objects based on how many items are in the HorizontalList. For the sake of this example lets say there are 6 items.

That works fine if I am only passing it to repeated object number 1 from every single item in the list. But I would like to pass the appropriate data to each appropriate object based on which itemRenderer you are over. So if you are rolled over itemRenderer 4, pass data to object 4. Does this make sense? Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] What is the best way to draw about 10,000 to 15,000 rectangles?
Assuming the locations are all in some data structure, i'd say keep that structure and just iterate through each item and draw them on a single canvas using the Graphics class/object. Then register a mouse listener for the entire canvas and calculate which container you clicked on based on the x and y coordinates of the mouse event. If the data structure is sorted this should be a fast enough function. This solution could have problems with containers are constantly moving and overlap. MouseOver graphics representations could be done by actually putting a new uicomponent over the container so that you don't have to draw on the canvas as much. Really this solution relies on you being able to index and search the data effectively in any way the application needs. If I'm not the right direction but missing something I'll be happy to elaborate on any holes in my idea. - Dan On 2/1/07, arcencie1978 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello folks, I'm trying to put about 10,000 to 15,000 rectangles in a stage. And I'd like to know what could be the best way to do this.. Of course, I can just draw everything on the stage, without having to make instances of a class, which defines the way to draw them. Yet the thing is that, every rectangle,sized about 5~10 pixel width and 3 pixel height, has to respond to events such as mouse over and mouse click events.. So I've tried to make a cell class and made some 10,000 instances of it but adding all of them to the display list takes so long and is just too much Yet forgetting about making instances of this sort of class and using something like BitmapData doesn't give me any idea about how to register events to each cell.. So is there anybody who has developed this sort of application? By the way, the reason I have to draw these so many pieces is because each cell actually represents a container in the harbor and there are just so many of them and my client wants to put all of'em in the application.

[flexcoders] SOLVED: IFocusManagerComponent and removePopUp
Thanks for the huge amount of advises. ;)
As it appeared the hole thing was in method hidePopUp of PopUpWindow.
We do removePopUp there and after it focus of course changes and this
pop-up fires focusOut. in focusOutHandler we call the very same
hidePopUp. But, it isn't popped up now. So the only thing missing in
hidePopUp is test for isPopUp. The final code for hidePopUp is
following:
public function hidePopUp() : void {
if (isPopUp) {
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
}
}
That's all.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 Compiler / Metadata Question
I had asked the original question here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/62626 And received several helpful responses involving the ArrayElementType metadata tag. This works for the case of dealing with types of objects in arrays, but doesn't resolve the more general question of why does Flex2 throw out metadata information, and only allow prevention of it being thrown out in debug mode? Basically, we would like to use metadata much as Java 1.5 uses annotations for a handful of scenarios. This is entirely possible, and works really well, but only if you use an obscure compiler flag, and then only in debug mode. Anyone have any ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: parent-child hierarchy of data using Flex, FDS and Hibernate
Hi guys, I have made a post in similar vein to this one, and had a couple comments. I agree that when possible, using managed associations and individual destinations for each side of the association is a best approach. However I'm running into issues with the hierarchical values approach you mention below. Maybe it's just my hibernate mappings, or maybe there's an issue. Note, I end up having to use this approach in some cases (destination references a base-class, and collection associations reside in sub-class instances). In the example used here, whenever I modify a value of a child (User Scenario) or grandchild (Scenario), because the save is going through the parent (PlanPoint), the Hibernate Assembler assigns the collection as though it were a property of the parent. At this point when the commit occurs, I get a org.hibernate.NonUniqueObjectException: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session Check out my post. (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/63308) I'd be interested to know if you get this working (hierarchical values), could you post up an example of the hibernate mappings? thanks, PW --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeff Vroom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This relates to your other question about the association tags in the metadata section. There are two ways you can work with non-primitive object properties using FDMS. You can either have them be managed associations or you can treat them as hierarchical values. If you choose the former, you define a destination for each data type and explicitly define the relationships using the metadata tags: one-to-many, one-to-one, etc (FDMS only pays attention to the ...-to-one or -to-many suffix as it only cares about whether the association is single or multi-valued). In this approach, each destination deals with the changes made to objects of that type. If you create a new child object and add it to a property on the parent for example, it will send the create event to the child destination and then send an update event to the parent destination. These are both executed in the same transaction so they will both get committed at the same time. When you use the hierarchical values approach, the entire object graph underneath that property is treated as a single value. Any changes made to any state under that property is treated as a change to the property's value. FDMS reports the change to the parent object's destination and only tells you that the property of the parent changed. We do give you the complete old and new values though of the parent object so you can walk down and compare them to figure out the details of what changed. Whenever you use this approach, the entire object graph gets shipped back and forth for each change so it gets inefficient as the object graph gets bigger. In this particular case, it sounds like the managed association feature would be the best approach. You can create new objects on either the client or the server - whichever makes the most sense for your application. Simply adding a new object to the property of another managed object is enough to create it for the system. We'll detect that it is a new object and log both the create and update operations as part of the batch. When you issue the commit call, both are sent to the server as part of the same batch.

The hibernate mapping docs specify the further retrieval of the graph of objects attached to them.

Figured it out :P variableRowHeight=true, it's working fine now :-) Jay Proulx [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Proulx, Jason (EX22748) Sent: February 1, 2007 11:57 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Resizing a List component? Hey All, I don't remember encountering this issue before. I have a List component with a custom item renderer, which includes an image loaded dynamically at runtime. I want my List component to display all items all the time, and I need to resize it depending on the number of items that get loaded in. I'm going through weird iterations of having the custom renderer resizing and invalidating itself, but then the List doesn't scroll properly, then I tried simply changing the List height after a data change by iterating through it's children, but that's not working right either. I know there must be a simple way of doing this; I just can't seem to find the right documentation. Any ideas?

You're definitely right, that's a clear bug in how SWFLoader

that in
the Design view of FB, the PNG has perfect transparency in both
cases.
But in the published SWF, the transparency is not preserved when
using
@Embed.
I will be writing up a blog post and my solution later today.
For now, here's a sample of the problem with a working solution.
I'll be writing up the description of what I had to do (obviously
it's
not much since it didn't take very long). So if you want to check
out
the code before I write up the post, the important part has to do
with
setting the mimeType of the embedded asset, and then in the
modified
SWFLoader code, check out around line 1217 in the loadContent
method. It
uses loadBytes of the Loader class to load the bytes of the

Hi, Transferring licenses doesn't seem to be the only issue. We've been using a trial Mac version which just expired and I put through the order for a Mac license online last night thinking we'd have a valid key within a few minutes (like we did for the PC version last summer)... Not quite... it immediately showed as pending last night, and remained that way this morning. So after 30 minutes on hold with customer support this morning, I'm told that the more expensive transactions are processed manually and that somebody would be reviewing the details within the next 2-3 days. WTF? Since when is a $499 FlexBuilder license expensive, and even so, why do they need to process manually? Really really not happy this morning... especially because it's pretty much impossible to find a temporary key for the Mac version (I didn't just say that though)...

Re: [flexcoders] pop ups again
So the reason for this is because PopUpManager listens for the SHOW and
HIDE events (see PopUpManagerImpl.as line 471). If your popped up
component dispatches SHOW or HIDE then the PopUpManager takes this to
mean that it should show or hide the popup.
So when your popped up window dispatches SHOW, PopUpManager calls
showModalWindow(), which then also sets the window's visible property.
If this setting of the visible property in turn triggered the SHOW
event, then we'd get caught in an endless loop of PopUpManager calling
showModalWindow() over and over again.
So this isn't a solution, but hopefully it helps to understand what's
going on.

The bad thing is this pop up dispatches show event ONLY while it is
NOT MODAL. If I say 'let's make it modal', show event isn't
dispatched. Confusing. At least as for me.
Can anybody explain this behavior? Or say it's not right?

[flexcoders] redundant binding??
Hey guys. I am just wondering if this is really the proper way to bind and set up a field. He is an example of a field on a popup window we have. When the screen is loaded, it needs to retrieve the data stored in the db and display it on the screen. Obviously later on we need to then save it back. This is now done via three different lines, in our init function we have the following: // Assign principal values to fields prior to binding fname.data = _provider.firstname; // Now bind fields to data record object BindingUtils.bindProperty(_provider, firstname, fname, text); does it really take both these steps to do this?? Seems like extra work.

[flexcoders] Custom components and handling variables
I'm still learning how I should be designing custom components and encapsulating methods/variables appropriately. I have a custom component that pops up and just adds/removes items from two arraycollections. After this is done, I'd like to close it and reflect the changes on the main application page. I'm just wondering how to access variables from custom components. Is this good practice or should these variables be initialized in the main application first?

[flexcoders] SWFLoader Questions - need help from the gurus!
Hello All, I am getting confused, as to when I should be referencing the SWFLoader Component ITSELF, versus the SWFLoader.content - as it relates to modifying it's properties, etc. For example, the SWFLoader has the scaleX and scaleY properties available to the developer. BUT, so does the Content - So, if I wanted to Zoom in/out my SWFLoader Content, what would be the more appropriate command? 1) SWFLoader.scaleX = value; -or- 2) SWFLoader.content.scaleX = value; This is something, that has always confused me. Also, as many Properties and Methods that the SWFLoader SWFLoader.content have in common, there are some that are unique only to themselves. For example, if I want to make the content draggable, the only portion that makes startDrag() and stopDrag() available to the developer, is the SWFLoader - NOT the SWFLoader.content - I guess, what I am asking here, is what's the general rule of thumb - when attempting to Scale, Move, ... the contents of the SWFLoader? The SWFLoader itself? Or the SWFLoader.content? Thanks SO much in advance, for anything you can offer regarding this. Mike
Re: [flexcoders] pop ups again
By the way, here's my modification to your example that works. Basically
I extended TitleWindow to dispatch a custom event whenever the visiblity
is changed, regardless of the flag that normally controls whether to
dispatch the event.
See it here: http://dougmccune.com/flex/popup_test/

Doug McCune wrote:
So the reason for this is because PopUpManager listens for the SHOW
and HIDE events (see PopUpManagerImpl.as line 471). If your popped up
component dispatches SHOW or HIDE then the PopUpManager takes this to
mean that it should show or hide the popup.
So when your popped up window dispatches SHOW, PopUpManager calls
showModalWindow(), which then also sets the window's visible property.
If this setting of the visible property in turn triggered the SHOW
event, then we'd get caught in an endless loop of PopUpManager calling
showModalWindow() over and over again.
So this isn't a solution, but hopefully it helps to understand what's
going on.

I guess the reason is in following line of PopUpManagerImpl.as:
line 574: IUIComponent(o.owner).setVisible(true, true);
Second parameter says do not dispatch show event... I wonder why is
it this way...
Maybe someone who understands this behavior will read these lines
someday.

[flexcoders] Passing id to a function
When I click on a canvas that was created dynamically and given an id, I am trying to pass the id on to a function that changes the alpha value of the canvas. I am using an EventListener and var myID:String = event.currentTarget.id; When I use a trace statement, I know the id value is being passed correctly. This is the point I get stuck at. How do I use this var to change the alpha value dynamically? TIA for your assistance. Sandy
Re: [flexcoders] Passing id to a function
Looks like you've already answered your own question :-) The currentTarget property of the even IS the canvas... just set the alpha directly on that...

[flexcoders] Re: Determining if there has been any user input on a page
I've done this like below.
1. In each Input field, check box, combo etc. I listen to the change
event like this
change=editData(event.target)
2. I've got a global variable to hold info of all changed items
public var editedObjects:Array = new Array();
3. editData function
public function editData(obj:Object):void{
//check if event.target was already changed
var addData:Boolean = true;
//verify if editedObjects contains items
if (editedObjects.length0)
{
for(var i:int = 0; i editedObjects.length;
i++) {
//If object is found do not
add it again
if(editedObjects[i]==obj){
addData = false;
}
}
}
//If object is not found add it to array
if (addData){
editedObjects[editedObjects.length]=obj;
}
//change parameters of selected object to show to
user which fields has been changed
obj.setStyle('backgroundColor', 0xFF);
obj.setStyle('borderColor', 0xFF99CC);
obj.setStyle('borderThickness',2);
obj.setStyle('color',0x993300);
obj.setStyle('fontWeight','bold');
}
4. If editedObjects.length0 then there are changes.
editedObjects contains an array with references to all changed items.
You may loop the array and do what ever you wish with the changed
items.
Hope this helps.

My

user
clicks Submit instead of reading the state of every control on
every

What I'm hoping for is something like an uber-event handler that I

Re: [flexcoders] Panel and Scrollbars (basic question)
This may or may not be the answer you are looking for... but is the content of your panel laid out using constraints or absolute values? If you do it with constraints, then your content should get resized when the scrollbar appears. Then again, this may be the inverse of what you are trying to do, and it may cause labels or text to get truncated. Is there a reason that you cannot make the panel wide enough to accomodate your content and scroll bar both, then if the scroll bar doesn't show up then it will just be a little more padding to the right. It seems like if you were to resize the panel dynamically with a scroll event then it might jump around which may not be the desired effect. If you can post code I'd be happy to take a look, I've done a lot of tweaking layouts with lots of scrollbars lately!

Inside it is a Text component, and a Repeater underneath that (...repeating a CheckBox) . All works fine. I want to set the maxHeight of the Panel to 200px, so that if I get too many Checkboxes appearing, my content will scroll vertically. When I set maxHeight, I get *both* horizontal and vertical scrollbars appearing - the horizontal scrollbar only appears because the width of the vertical scrollbar eats in to the Panel width - therefore I get horizontal scrolling of about 16 pixels. If I set horizontalScrollbarPolicy to false then my content is still clipped. I'm sure I can muster a workaround easily enough (e.g. manually resize Panel based on ScrollEvent etc), but I thought there surely must be something in-built and neater, already in place to deal with this kind of scenario? Any help much appreciated.

[flexcoders] Newbie: Adding New Rows
Hello, all - got a newbie question. We have been evaluating Flex as a replacement to Flash / Remoting. We are using Flex (obviously) as the front-end, ColdFusion in the middle, and MS SQL2K as the DB server. The goal is to create a simple table-maintenance app which does the following: - Displays a list of existing items (tasks, in this case) from a table - Allows these items to be edited, automatically saving any changes made - Allows items to be deleted - again, autosaving to the database. - Allows items to be added - you guessed it, auto-save here as well. I have created the .as and .cfc files using the ColdFusion Wizard. The items in the table are being presented in an editable datagrid. The dataProvider for the dataGrid is an arrayCollection. I've got everything working - created an eventListener on the arrayCollection that automatically saves deletes, inserts, and updates. However, when I insert new rows, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set the newly generated identity value back in the correct row of the arrayCollection. First off, am I doing this right? Second, how do I find the row that just inserted so that I can update it with the DB-generated identity value? Thanks in advance, Greg
RE: [flexcoders] tracking a user session
When your user is authenticated in Flex, then retrieve his info and roles and store it in a global variable that u can use from anywhere in your app. For people using Cairngorm (and you might not) this will look like so: ModelLocator.getInstance().user = someUserInstance; Since the ModelLocator is a singleton you can access from anywhere in the app to display user info or check his/her roles to see if he/she has access to something or not.

I think MXNA has some issues when it picks up a post for the first time in a while and will republish old posts (like it re-reads the RSS feed and doesn't realize it broadcast some of those already).

I need to create a Windows Taskbar notification (like the Outlook new message balloon) from Flex. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a tool for doing this, I'd expect it to be some type of ActiveX or COM object. I'm using ColdFusion on the back end. I know almost nothing about Windows programming, but I've found a few tools online that seem to be the right direction, still if anyone has already built anything like this with Flex and/or CF I'd love to hear your advice.

[flexcoders] Re: Determining if there has been any user input on a page
I do this in my app. All of my forms are data-driven, so when the data is initially loaded from the server I create two copies of it: formData and formDataOnFile. I then broadcast an event any time something changes, and in the event handler I use ObjectUtil.compare(formData, formDataOnFile) to determine whether or not they're identical. If they're not then I enable my save button. HTH, Ben --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, dean_w_schulze [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In Flex is there a way to determine if a user has made any input to any control on a page without having to check each individual control? My app. makes use of several TabNavigators with several tabs in each and I would like a way to tell which tabs have changes, if any, when the user clicks Submit instead of reading the state of every control on every page. What I'm hoping for is something like an uber-event handler that I could register every control on a page with, in addition to the control's individual event handler. In the uber-event handler I could simply record that something had changed on that page and maybe keep track of which controls need to be read on Submit. Thanks.
[flexcoders] More knowledge of future component development?
I know this is a very tricky line that Adobe has to walk between what they can say about future components released in the framework. But here's my issue: I'd love to build more components for Flex, my only worry is that I'll be duplicating energy spent by the Flex team (or Adobe consulting). For example, say I wanted to take the Scheduling Framework and enhance it. I know the labs page says it's in 0.01 alpha or whatever, and they mention that a 1.0 release will happen eventually. So if I knew that in one month a more robust and amazing scheduling framework was going to be released I wouldn't even bother. But if that 1.0 release isn't going to happen for 12 months, then it's worth my time doing it on my own. This is the same with other components in the framework. I'm not going to concentrate on enhancements to the DataGrid, for example, because I know Adobe plans on focusing on that with the Flex 3 framework, and any enhancements that I make will probably pale in comparison. But I have been working on the TabNavigator because I haven't seen any mention of that from an official Adobe source. I've been amazingly impressed with Adobe's openness with developers overall, the release of the framework source, the info regarding the release schedule, etc. If it was possible to give us a little bit more on which components in the framework have planned upgrades, then it might be easier for us to focus our efforts. I know Adobe has said they want us to build more components, I just don't want to build the same ones that the Flex team's building. Doug
[flexcoders] form item and text input control alignment
Hello, When you use a text input control it adds the form item as well for the field label, this is good. When you place the form item and text input control in a VBox how come the text input controls do not line up to the left and the form items line up to the right. They seem to set their alignment on the length of text in the label of the form item. Any Idea's??? Thanks, Roger

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Loading module from module

I cannot simply override a manager, but as this is a null object, I
wonder if a simple fix could be to do a null check against impl and

[flexcoders] Re: Index of an itemRenderer
Thank you FlashCanon. I added the rollOver=trace(event.currentTarget.parent.getChildIndex(event.currentTarget)) to my custom itemRenderer and that is tracing out an index value. Now the only problems lies in what Tracy had said in her first response about how only 5 items exist at once in a 10 item list. My list displays four items at a time but has 6 total. Therefore if I scroll over to item 6 and rollOver it, the index shows up as four, because it is now the 4th item in the list. Not sure what I am going to do about that one.

[flexcoders] Re: Could it really take so much code to color a row in a DataGrid..?
Hello Sanjay,
Thanks for the response... I should have been much more explicit in
my question. Sorry.
I'm trying to set the background color for any given row in a datagrid
based on some criteria in the row itself.
I'm sure this has been done hundreds of times before but can't seem to
find a concise and elegant way of doing this.
Thanks again,
Paul

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Possible to edit and recompile Flex framework?
Here's a message from Alex Harai. I think the same applies for your history manager issue This error occurs for two reasons: One is that somehow, the DragManager or DragManagerImpl is not linked into the movie. The other, and more common reason is that more than one module is using the DragManager, but the main application does not.. Modules operate in their own application domain, and thus cannot share singletons unless that singleton is loaded by the parent application domain. The simple solution is to link the DragManager into the main application by putting something like this in a script block import mx.managers.DragManager; var dm:DragManager; This fattens your application a little. More complex solutions involve loading the DragManager into the main application’s application domain. The above is true for all managers handled by Singleton and lots of other shared classes in Flex as well. -Alex On 02/02/2007, at 9:21 AM, zzwi89 wrote: Hi, I have a sample online.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Possible to edit and recompile Flex framework?
Hi This is way out in left field. But it looks like you are loading the modules into the same ApplicationDomain and since the HistoryManager is a singleton based in each domain. Try including a tabnavigator in your shell application just for the hell of it. Left me know. Make sure to addChild() it then remove it after creationComplete of the application.

[flexcoders] Re: SWFLoader Questions - need help from the gurus!
Hi Mike, The SWFLoader can help to load images or SWF into your Flex apps. SWFLoader.content is a reference to whatever you have loaded in the SWFLoader, so the methods and properties that you can use depend of what it is avaible in the SWF or image that you are loading. On the other hand, the SWFLoader as Flex control has fixed propierties and methods. I agree with you, some of the properties are the same, and you can get the same effect. I guess sometimes it is a matter of preference how you want to handle it. For consistency, I would use the SWFLoader properties.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Possible to edit and recompile Flex framework?
Bjorn, I forgot about that but that is basically what I said without the addChild() part. so the static intializer will do the trick alone.
