[flexcoders] How to know the position of the column in a datagrid?
Hi All, How can I know the position of the columns in a datagrid when they are repositioned by drag and drop? I want to store the position of the columns when they are moved. The fish are biting.

Re: [flexcoders] How to know the position of the column in a datagrid?
We currently have to loop through the columns array and look for the column named X. When we find it, we know what position it's in by the number of loops. If there's a better way to do this, would love to know.

[flexcoders] Binding forms to XML - advice please
Hello. I need to bind a fairly complex form to a matching XML structure.
The form has text fields, lots of check-boxes and some radio-buttons.
I'd like to pre-load values into some of the form fields with an XML
file pulled down from the server, and then after the user SUBMITs,
upload the modified XML back to the server.
I'd like to take advantage of two-way binding and E4X. It seems like
it ought to be easy, but I have run into problems.
How do I get two-way binding with an XML structure? I can make
one-way binding (from XML to Form) work, but the changes to the form
are not reflected back into the XML structure. I think I have to
convert the XML to an XMLListCollection, but then I can't make E4X
work for simple things like CheckBox?
How do I bind a CheckBox to the XML data? I tried something like:
mx:checkbox selected={xdata.item.selected} / where the XML looked
like this:
root
item
selectedfalse/selected
/item
/root
but it didn't work (always shows as selected, even when false)
Of course I can convert the XML to a custom object structure and
manually map everything, but then I have to give up the power of E4X
and automatic binding.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm FrontController
Maybe I'm missing something, but to me this is not a bug in Cairngorm. At least from my perspective the problem is about seperating generic components from code that is specific to your application. If you are going to have some component for addresses, it should be a generic component and broadcast a generic event. The parent view that the address component is in would be specific to the application, it would capture the generic event and broadcast its own event that is specific to the application. Does this make sense? I think this is what Dimitrios was suggesting as well.

separation of code, easy to understand in 6 months, and no 6,000

one big-ass file that has no components, they are right in the

Hi, (I am from Adobe). I'll try to fill in the holes below: A) The charting components are not being outsourced. :) B) That said, I am sure third parties will make additional and more varied and advanced charting components than what we ship. That would be complementary and excellent. C) We do not currently have plans to add a Gnantt chart component to the next release of Flex Charting. I do know of a third party we work with closely that might have such a component later this year, and I am sure that if and as soon as they can, they'll talk about it on this list, solicit feedback etc. I can't speak for them, but I am hopefull it will meet the needs of this frequent request--they do great work and know Gnatt charts well. In addition to that, I know folks who have done custom versions, and as Doug points out, anyone can keep going on the path he proposed.

The same happens with Alert.show (in PopupManager.createPopup). First I moved the setBusyCursor() call into a button click(), to be sure the module had loaded completely - but this had no effect. If, however, I call setBusyCursor() then removeBusyCursor() in the /module loader/ mxml file (on ready event), the module button can then also set the cursor without error. Similarly, an Alert in the module loader (on ready event) allows alerts within the module. To muddy the waters further, if I load the module at the start of the application, it works okay - it's just when I re-load it that the error starts occurring.

[flexcoders] mask/clip dragged proxy image
i can't for the life of me figure out how to mask/clip a dragged proxy image (done via DragManager) to a Canvas. dragging works plenty fine except the dragged image can be dragged off the Canvas (it can't be dropped though) which is kind of annoying. i've tried adding masks to the original Image (which has no effect) as well as to the proxy image, which works except that you can't drop the image anywhere. i think i have some kind of misconception about when/where to place a mask or simply you can't mask/clip a proxy image. any guidance is most welcome. thanks.
Re: [flexcoders] mask/clip dragged proxy image
You'd need to apply the mask at the system manage level, or pop up manager because its controlling the display of the proxy image. Not sure how, but that's a place to explore... Troy.

You need to implement IDropInListItemRenderer (and the listData
property). The listData will give you the column that owns you.
Wow, that IDropInListItemRenderer opens up a real can of worms. I
can't believe that something simple like what I want to do can get so
difficult all of a sudden.
I am new to Flex, and have spent a couple hours reading through
IDropInListItemRenderer threads and google articles and it is:
1. beyond my level of understanding
2. too fragmented; too few complete examples
Anyway, you live and learn... Thanks for pointing me in the right

RE: [flexcoders] Some optimalization questions
When a single property changes, the list is marked dirty and all visible items will be redrawn on the next frame. Seems like we should be smarter about this, but we do it this way because we don't want to assume a property only affects one item. It could affect some other item via labelFunction or some other code. Anyway, any other updates before the next frame essentially have no cost, so the only real factor is how much is visible. You can probably subclass DG, catch collection events and block them if you want to optimize further.

seems very simple...and easy to implement...but I have a problem...if
I put more SwapList component in a form...the user can drag a drop
items from every List of the from to every List of the form!! and I
don't find any work around to avoid nonsense drag and drop!:-(
are there any control which can be performed?

RE: [flexcoders] question about drag drop support in list-based component
The droptarget lists will receive DRAG_ENTER, DRAG_OVER, and DRAG_EXIT
events. The DragEvent passed in contains a dragInitiator property which
points to the source of the drag. You should implement handlers for
these events, and if the source is not the right one, call
DragManager.showFeedback(DragManager.NONE) and preventDefault() on the
event object.

var event:ProductFilterEvent =
new ProductFilterEvent(filter, thumbBeingPressed);
dispatchEvent(event);
currentState = showingThumbnails;
}
If I choose any option, the dispatchFilter function will filter the
data based on the option criteria, and it's not what I want, what I
want is the URL defined for the HTTPService so I can load a new XML
file on the fly. What I think I need is a different change= function
to do that. Hopefully, this is not too confusing. Thank you again

If I choose any option, the dispatchFilter function will filter the
data based on the option criteria, and it's not what I want, what I
want is the URL defined for the HTTPService so I can load a new XML
file on the fly. What I think I need is a different change= function
to do that. Hopefully, this is not too confusing. Thank you again
kindly for your time.

Assuming you know the mapping of combobox items to URLs, you can
populate the array as follows:
mx:Array
mx:Object label=choice 1 url=http://a.b.com/url1
http://a.b.com/url1 /
mx:Object label=choice 2 url=http://a.b.com/url2
http://a.b.com/url2 /
mx:Object label=choice 3 url=http://a.b.com/url3
http://a.b.com/url3 /
/mx:Array
The combo box will display choice 1, choice 2, or choice3. When
an option is selected, selectedItem.url is the url.

Subject: [flexcoders] ComboBox URLs
I hope someone can help. I have a ComboBox that has a list of options.
When an option is selected, I would like a corresponding XML file to
be loaded. I assume I have to declare a string variable to assign the
URL. The ComboBox dataProvider is hard-coded with an mx:Array, but
I'm stuck on how to assign the URL from the option selected. I
appreciate any help I can get. I'm familiar with how to load the data
with HTTPService. Thanks in advance...
[flexcoders] My First Apollo App...fubar
OK, So i grabbed the Apollo alpha runtime, and installed the Apollo extension for FB 2.0.1 on my Mac and went to try out the spiffy article on labs: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ Apollo:Articles:Building_Your_First_Flex-based_Apollo_Application But it seems something is fubar'd at the first step when I try to debug the HTTPService call to the MXNA feed I get the following error: [RPC Fault faultString=HTTP request error faultCode=Server.Error.Request fau ltDetail=Error: [IOErrorEvent type=ioError bubbles=false cancelable=false eve ntPhase=2 text=Error #2032: Stream Error.

I seem to get the 2032 Stream Error if I call any feed:// address. However, if i replace the feed with say an address used in the Flex 2:TFTS book in a HTTPService call and debug it works just fine. Any thoughts, or other people with this issue?
Re: [flexcoders] My First Apollo App...fubar
Bugger You got me there Brett, somewhere between writing the article and testing the code I left that in, without a doubt it should have been http instead of feed, I've just fixed that naughty bit of code on the article. Many thanks.

The good news is that the sample code is correct ;-) On 19/03/07, Andrew Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bugger You got me there Brett, somewhere between writing the article and testing the code I left that in, without a doubt it should have been http instead of feed, I've just fixed that naughty bit of code on the article.
