[flexcoders] 3.1/3.0.1 Update very confused?

2008-09-05 Thread reflexactions
I saw there weere threads about a 3.1 update last week so decide 
today was a time to try it.

From FB Standalone I ran Seach for FB Updates but that got me nothing 
(actually when I checked preferences it seems that just checks for 
Adobe Reader updates and has no way to add any other Adobe app so I 
assume it will never actually find FB updates despite what it says)

So I went to the FB support site but there the updater is not for 3.1 
but 3.0.1 ??

When I checked my current version from the about menu it says FB 
3.0.194161.

So that means I am at least up to date if not ahead of the 3.0.1 
update??? 

I am confused as to whether I am up to date or not.

tks

And if your data was pre-ordered, you could even use page demand
loading

 

Not fantastically, the ADG doesn't deal with paged data at all well. The
code in HierarchicalCollecitonView tries to count the entire
dataprovider, so you end up either having to load up the entire data
set, or adding dummy objects into the DP.

And Woe betide you if you have a null in your DP

[flexcoders] how to give focus to a new browser window

2008-09-05 Thread Andrew Wetmore
Hi:

In my AIR project I need to pop a browser window and give it focus.
The current code is:

private function launchAFile():void{
  var theURL:String = resourceContentsList.selectedItem.path;
  navigateToURL(new URLRequest(theURL));
}

Is there a way to give that new window focus? At the moment, on some
platforms, it pops up behind the application, and if the user has
resized the app, it is easy to miss the new window.

Thanks in advance! Alpha release on Monday!!

My

  Here

   1. Bring up my Flex UI on one IE browser and login successfully.
  Once
   logged in sucessfully, the UI will call the getEvents()

   call with a timeout of 10s. If the server has any updates it

   the UI to get new updates.
   2. Bring up my Flex UI on another new IE browser (on the same

the

[flexcoders] setting up development

2008-09-05 Thread niklas wörmann
Hi!
I am trying to get up to speed with Flex development but I am sure I am
doing things awkwardly,

first of all; How would you  set up developing a Flex-from-flash component ?
the way I do it is to do all the development in Flash, using the wonderfully
crafted code editor in Flash,
exporting the swc file, i then need to clean the project in flexbuilder in
order for itto recognize any change made to
the component,
repeat--

My two main problems with this setup are,
For some reason i dont particularly like the code editor in flash
it seems unnecessary time consuming to have to clean the project each time
i want to update the component


secondly;
when doing amfphp development i am really off track
using localhost i write my php code in dreamweaver,
i dont like the code editing here either, and more importantly,  there is no
way to debug the code.
what are you people using in order to be able to debug and step thru code
etc?

TIA

As it turns out, I already have that in use in a couple of places, and
it does not give focus to the new window in tabbed browser systems.
Seems to be okay if you don't already have a browser window open, or
if you do not use tabbed browser windows.

Any other thoughts?

[flexcoders] Extends vs Implement EventDispatcher

2008-09-05 Thread reflexactions
Is there a performance difference between having a class extend 
EventDispatcher vs implementing IEventDispatcher.

Reason for the question is I have a class which currently extends 
EventDispatcher and now it needs to extend another class that is not an 
EventDispatcher. This will get properly fixed up in a few days but 
temporarily the answer is to have it implement IEventDispatcher but I 
was wondering if it is going to effect performance in any way ...

[flexcoders] Re: Help with runtime shared libraries

2008-09-05 Thread nathanpdaniel
I had to add a MIME type to my server to be able to use the SWZ.  I 
can't recall exactly what it is but the actual mime type was the same 
for SWZ as it was for SWF.  Otherwise my server itself didn't know 
how to serve the file and it would roll over to the SWF.

As for your first question, how to dictate where to  look for RSLs - 
in FB3, go to the panel where you can select to use RSLs rather than 
Merged into Code.  (Project-Preferences-Flex Build Path - Library 
Path tab) - There's a list of build path libraries.  For the 
framework rsl, you'd dive into the first (Flex 3.0.0 - or whatever 
framework you're using), and open the framework.swc dropdown.  Select 
the RSL URL.  On the right hand side there's an Edit button you 
need to click next.  It'll open up a panel to be able to choose where 
to find the RSL from!  And you'd do the same for the rest of your 
RSLs.  It should be noted however, changing the path of the framework 
RSLs seems to have an issue if you choose the option to Copy to 
deployment path.  It DOES put a SWZ  and a SWF to your deployment 
path, and also both in the root of where your main SWF is (when 
building).  The SWZ/SWF from your deployment path will NOT match your 
main SWF - those output in the same folder as your main SWF DO 
match.  So an additional step you'll need to do is move these files 
to the correct location.  One sure way to verify this is to see when 
the SWZ/SWFs were created.  If they're created at the same time as 
your main SWF, they're good, if the date is one from several months 
ago - it's the actual file used to deploy off of.  It's kind of a 
pain and may possibly be a bug or some other issue - not real sure.  
Hopefully this helps get everything straightened out! :D

  I made the flex framework into an RSL, and I put both the swf and
 swz
  versions in servername.com/subdir/. This is the same location 
where
 the
  Flex app itself is located. Then I load the page, using the latest
  version of Flash 9. I get the following error:

  Now I can obviously fix this by putting the swf in the root htdocs
  directory, but I have two questions:
 
  1) How can I get Flash to look in the app's subdirectory for the
  framework files? I'm using FlexBuilder 3, if that helps.
 
  2) Why is the browser requesting the swf instead of the swz?
 
  Thanks.

   I suppose it depends.  Bet you never heard that answer before!  IMHO, if
 you are just displaying data in a DG or something, just use some XML and go
 for it.  If you need to actually interact with the data, use the VOs in a
 architected model.  Suppose your use case is that a user needs to add a
 department to a employee, code would be something like
 myEmployeeInstance.department = chosenDepartment where chosenDepartment is a
 Department instance.  Your objects on the server would be modeled this way,
 model them in your RIA this way too, less work.

 You may not be doing anythign wrong with your apporach, you know your use
 case best, eh?  YMMV greatly here.  It may be that having the departmentID
 and a lookup table is all you need really.  But what about next week when
 suddenly a employee needs to be in two departments?  I used to work with
 PeopleSoft data a lot, trust me rules get broken all the time :)  Or maybe
 next month the client wants to see more info about the department?

 I will note that you do not need to query for the department on each
 employee interation in your server code.  Just make your SQL return the all
 the (flat) data properly and while interating over it create both the
 Employee instance and the Department instance.

   well it has a department ID, not another object.  If I'm bringing back

 to query to get a Department VO for each iteration as well, when all I need
 is that name and it already exists in my BO by way of a lookup table.

 I store these lookups in my business logic and use them in comboboxes and
 such (this collection populates the Department dropdown on the Employee).
 usually i only bring them back with ID and Name.  I want to use these
 collections to get the name for an ID at any time I need it.

 The list of departments is a list of simple objects, I didn't see the need
 to create VO's for such things.  However I'm obviously doing something
 wrong.  I imagined I would have to write renderers for the datagrid and that
 would be easy enough, but that's not the only place I display data from
 lookup tables.  In Labels, Tab Headers, all sorts of places need to get the
 department name from the department ID in the employee VO (for one example).

 Should I just bring the department name back in the employee VO?  I'd
 rather not, it doesn't seem right- but if that's the way to do it I will.

   Hi, I've been going thru my app now that I know the magic of VO's and
 converting most things to value objects- loading my VO's into datagrids,

 I do have 1 question though, let's say I have a 'employee' value object
 that has the property 'departmentID'.  Is it common practice to also 
 include
 the 'departmentName' in the value object?  I already have a collection of
 departments (departmentID,departmentName) value objects, I want to be able
 to at any point find the corresponding department record so I can display
 the name.  Keeping it in the VO seems like a hack though, sounds like it
 would leave the application open to display sync issues (name in department
 vo is updated but the customer vo is not).  I know I can write a renderer
 for the datagrids to show the related values from other collections, but
 there are other display situations too and I don't want this getting out of
 hand.

 So I guess the question is, what's the best way to handle foreign key
 values when dealing with VO's?  Include the related values in the VO, or
 look them up each time?

 thanks,

Maybe minimize the application if it's still the front most

Or maybe just throw up a dialog to say you've opened up a browser

Just some ideas.

[flexcoders] Switching between Cameras in Flex

2008-09-05 Thread flashalisious
Ok so I am building a Flex app that is using the Camera Class to show
the user in a VideoDisplay using whatever camera that is attached to
the users computer. What I would like to do is allow the user to
switch between more than one camera if they have more than one hooked up.

I know the user can do this using the Flash Security Panel but I would
like a better interface for doing this.

Currently I have a ComboBox that has a list of available cameras. I am
able to find this by saying Camera.names;

I am using Caringorm so I have a Referance to my camera variable in
the Model so that I can get to it from the component that I am
building for switching the camera. Currently I am trying to do this.

_modelLocator._cam = Camera.getCamera(combobox.selectedItem.toString);

this does not switch the camera to the newly selected camera. 

Wondering how you guys would make this work?

[flexcoders] Memory Thrashing during PRINT operations.

2008-09-05 Thread steve_kellogg_davita
Hello,

I'm running into some trouble that I hope you guys can offer some
insight on.

When using FlexPrintJob to print a document with multiple pages
(typically, anything more than 2 or so), I'm seeing a bunch of trace
messages that APPEAR to suggest that objects in memory are being
loaded/unloaded, or that memory is otherwise getting thrashed around...

FOR EXAMPLE..

The following code..  (page is a UIComponent)

  trace(+);
  myPrintJob.addObject(page, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH) ;
  trace(-);


is producing the following result..

+
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 1,805 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,441 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,346 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,389 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,156 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 1,861 bytes after decompression
-

As you can see, I'm putting the +/- traces in to confirm that these
other messages are being output DURING the addObject call.

For EVERY page I add (after the first two), I see this EXACT sequence
of [SWF] messages (including the exact bytecounts).

In addition to just being annoying, this sequence takes 2-3 seconds
per page, which obviously limits the total number of pages I can print
before the 15 second timeout occurs..

SO, here's the question...  Does anyone have any insights into this? 
Are there any settings that I can use to alert the machine running my
app that it needs to allocate more memory to the SWF's version of a heap?

When I originally wrote the print wrapper dialog for this application
(in Flex 2), I don't remember seeing any of this, and it was tested
with HUNDREDS of pages per printJob, so I SUSPECT that this is a new
behavior in Flex 3.  

Thanks in Advance for any assistance.

Steve

Re: [flexcoders] clipContent doesn't always clip content

2008-09-05 Thread Doug McCune
Guy, your inner cnavas takes up 100% width, so as far as yourouter canvas
knows, it doesn't need to clip the children. clipContent doesn't force
clipping, it simply turns it on if needed, and the Canvas determines if it
needs clipping based on whether any of the children are placed outside of
the visible bounds.

I usually just add a dummy UIComponent object and place it at -1,-1 in the
canvas. So try this:

mx:Canvas clipContent=true id=containerLayer bottom=0
left=350 top=0 right=0 horizontalScrollPolicy=off
verticalScrollPolicy=off 
mx:Canvas id=dynamicLayer clipContent=true width=100%
height=100% horizontalScrollPolicy=off verticalScrollPolicy=off
mx:UIComponent x=-'1 y=-1 /

 the child of the canvas)?

 Is there a possibility that canvas is not knowing if the graphics are
 extending passed what it THINKS is the measured width and height?

 MOST of the time the content drawn in the nested canvas is clipped

 Anyone got any ideas as to why this happens and how to prevent it?

Re: [flexcoders] clipContent doesn't always clip content

2008-09-05 Thread Doug McCune
sorry, first part of my message wasn't really applicable, since you were
trying to use the inner canvas for clipping, not the outer, but the code
should work OK.

On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 8:51 AM, Doug McCune [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Guy, your inner cnavas takes up 100% width, so as far as yourouter canvas
 knows, it doesn't need to clip the children. clipContent doesn't force
 clipping, it simply turns it on if needed, and the Canvas determines if it
 needs clipping based on whether any of the children are placed outside of
 the visible bounds.

 I usually just add a dummy UIComponent object and place it at -1,-1 in the
 canvas. So try this:

 mx:Canvas clipContent=true id=containerLayer bottom=0
 left=350 top=0 right=0 horizontalScrollPolicy=off
 verticalScrollPolicy=off 
 mx:Canvas id=dynamicLayer clipContent=true width=100%
 height=100% horizontalScrollPolicy=off verticalScrollPolicy=off
 mx:UIComponent x=-'1 y=-1 /

 I know for sure that the graphics are being drawn outside the enclosing
 canvas, because the child canvas is drawing x values  0 and these aren't
 being clipped but are visible outside the map area.

Re: [flexcoders] Extends vs Implement EventDispatcher

Unless Flex is doing something really crazy, that should be fine. The
only caveat is that, of course, you'll have to implement all the
IEventDispatcher methods yourself, but you can just pass these off to a
nested EventDispatcher object. In theory, you've got an additional
function call, but in practice, that will not make a difference.

True, but I was under the impression that a virtual method lookup was
cheaper than a whole new method call. Not to mention the bytes and bytes
of overhead from having to keep another object (the nested
EventDispatcher) on the heap ;).

My filter function is really simple. Something along these lines:


private function filterFunc(item:Object):Boolean
{
return item is ChildObj;
}

The dataProvider is an ArrayCollection containing ParentObjs. 
ParentObj extends ArrayCollection, and contains ChildObjs.

I call ArrayCollection.addItem() to add either ParentObj or ChildObj 
to the tree, and both are called after the filter is defined. In 
fact, I call the ChildObj insert right after the ParentObj insert.

Basically, I want to hide all top-level nodes in the tree, but the 
filter function isn't even called for those nodes.

Subject: [flexcoders] Memory Thrashing during PRINT operations.


Hello,

I'm running into some trouble that I hope you guys can offer some
insight on.

When using FlexPrintJob to print a document with multiple pages
(typically, anything more than 2 or so), I'm seeing a bunch of trace
messages that APPEAR to suggest that objects in memory are being
loaded/unloaded, or that memory is otherwise getting thrashed around...

FOR EXAMPLE..

The following code.. (page is a UIComponent)

trace(+);
myPrintJob.addObject(page, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH) ;
trace(-);

is producing the following result..

+
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 1,805 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,441 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,346 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,389 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,156 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 1,861 bytes after decompression
-

As you can see, I'm putting the +/- traces in to confirm that these
other messages are being output DURING the addObject call.

For EVERY page I add (after the first two), I see this EXACT sequence
of [SWF] messages (including the exact bytecounts).

In addition to just being annoying, this sequence takes 2-3 seconds
per page, which obviously limits the total number of pages I can print
before the 15 second timeout occurs..

SO, here's the question... Does anyone have any insights into this?
Are there any settings that I can use to alert the machine running my
app that it needs to allocate more memory to the SWF's version of a heap?

When I originally wrote the print wrapper dialog for this application

[flexcoders] Binding warnings - per instance suppression?

2008-09-05 Thread Richard Rodseth
 I like wiring things together in MXML, and I like having no warnings. Is
there any way to suppress binding warnings on a per-line basis?

In the following case, module and services really aren't going to
change:

   controller:MyController id=controller hostContainer={this}
services={this.module.services} /

The references are interfaces, and using custom events, I can add binding
support to those interfaces, but it's a bit unnecessary. I suppose I could
also set controller.services in a Script block, but I'm not crazy about that
either.


[flexcoders] Need help with Logout and then Logging back into Flex App

2008-09-05 Thread scottyale2008
After each of the different forms have been opened (via the button
toolbar), the forms have been initialized and created.   I recently
added a logout button which just takes you back to the login form.  If
you login as a different user, some of the charts and forms don't
update because they were created via  creationComplete() 

At the main section of the Flex app (where the login page is), is
there a way to reset all creationComplete's so the app will recreate
the pages when they are re-selected?
I tried invalidating all the properties and displaylists.

If there isn't a quick and easy way I could do one of the following:

-   The logout page takes them to a screen that says Press the Browser
Refresh Button to log back in.
-   The logout link does the Browser Refresh automatically.   Is this
an option, and if so what is the command to reload the flex app within
flex?

What's is best practices and/or best approach?

[flexcoders] Re: Memory Thrashing during PRINT operations.

2008-09-05 Thread steve_kellogg_davita
THANKS for your response. 

Our swf is called main.swf..

There aren't any modules in my app (yet), so it's just one big SWF. 

I SUSPECT that it's loading, and unloading resources in the SWF
(images, or something?) as needed to keep the movie running. Just to
be clear, there aren't ANY images in the document pages that I'm
trying to print.

Does that make ANY sense from a Flash runtime perspective?

 Subject: [flexcoders] Memory Thrashing during PRINT operations.
 
 
 Hello,
 
 I'm running into some trouble that I hope you guys can offer some
 insight on.
 
 When using FlexPrintJob to print a document with multiple pages
 (typically, anything more than 2 or so), I'm seeing a bunch of trace
 messages that APPEAR to suggest that objects in memory are being
 loaded/unloaded, or that memory is otherwise getting thrashed around...
 
 FOR EXAMPLE..
 
 The following code.. (page is a UIComponent)
 
 trace(+);
 myPrintJob.addObject(page, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH) ;
 trace(-);
 
 is producing the following result..
 
 +
 [SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 1,805 bytes after decompression
 [SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,441 bytes after decompression
 [SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,346 bytes after decompression
 [SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,389 bytes after decompression
 [SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 2,156 bytes after decompression
 [SWF] /htdocs/main.swf - 1,861 bytes after decompression
 -
 
 As you can see, I'm putting the +/- traces in to confirm that these
 other messages are being output DURING the addObject call.
 
 For EVERY page I add (after the first two), I see this EXACT sequence
 of [SWF] messages (including the exact bytecounts).
 
 In addition to just being annoying, this sequence takes 2-3 seconds
 per page, which obviously limits the total number of pages I can print
 before the 15 second timeout occurs..
 
 SO, here's the question... Does anyone have any insights into this?
 Are there any settings that I can use to alert the machine running my
 app that it needs to allocate more memory to the SWF's version of a
heap?
 
 When I originally wrote the print wrapper dialog for this application
 (in Flex 2), I don't remember seeing any of this, and it was tested
 with HUNDREDS of pages per printJob, so I SUSPECT that this is a new

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay play/pause button

2008-09-05 Thread sleekdigital
To make a simple play / pause button I bind the selected state of the
button to the playing property of the VideoDisplay component.  This
works fine with progressive video, but for some reason when using
streaming video the binding does not work correctly.  Most of the time
it does not set the selected state when the playing property changes.
 Anyone know why or how to fix this?



[flexcoders] Getting a reference to a itemRenderer of a chart series

2008-09-05 Thread Fernando Ghisi
How can I get a reference to a itemRenderer of a chart series?

If I use getStyle method, I´ll get the reference of the ClassFactory

Ex: Series(chart.series[index]).getStyle(itemRenderer)


Looking for any property that I could use, I´ve found in the
ColumnSeries a property called  _instanceCache. I could get a
reference of the objects created by the ClassFactory using
_instanceCache.instances, but this attribute is private.


So, what should I do to get the reference of the itemRenderes of the series?

Hi, I'm new on this group. Greetings to all of you...

Well, I'm developing an application that shows a powerpoint converted
presentation and should be able to navigate throw the slides (back and
next), but, the presentations are converted with openoffice and it
puts as2 code into the swf files and these files are loaded with the AMV1

I really need a way to access the nextFrame(), gotoAndPlay(),
gotoAndStop() and prevFrame() methods, how can I access to these
methods from flex

Or does someone knows an open source (or freeware) tool (or API) to

Anytime that you use a filterFunction or sort on an ArrayCollection, 
it won't be executed until you use call the refresh method.  
Basically you're saying, ok filter and sort my collection now.  It 
doesn't happen automatically.  After #3, and anytime that items are 
added/changed/removed in the collection, execute the refresh method 
to re-filter/sort the collection.  I'm not sure if this is going to 
solve your problem, because filtering the parent objects will 
probably take out the children as well.  You may have to just create 
a new collection, from the original (excluding the parents), and use

[flexcoders] File uploader / downloader suggestions

2008-09-05 Thread Alan

Hey y'all, I'm hoping to get some opinions from you all.

I would like to create an upload / download app for fun / practice.
Basicaly, people log in, get a directory listing of files on the  
server and can upload and download to the directories.


I'm gonna use a MySQL database to keep track of the files, who  
uploaded what file and when. Any other suggestions of what I can /  
should track.
I've just started playing with Coldfusion, is that really applicable?   
I've been using AMFPHP and WebOrb and want to try something else.
What is the best way to visually show a servers directory listing.   
Any ideas on how I would 'scan' a directory and show that in a  
component.


Now that I think of, perhaps it wold be best not to think of it as a  
simple FTP thing, but rather an interface where options are presented  
to 'tag' a file with keywords, and then one can search for those  
keywords and then choose file to dl that match the key words.


Anyone have any ideas / tfeatures they think would be cool to have?

[flexcoders] Re: Hiding a row in an AdvancedDataGrid

2008-09-05 Thread Tim Hoff

You know that the filterFunction is being called because you have a
breakpoint and trace insde it and are running in debug mode right? 
Also, is the filterFunction on the correct ArrayCollection (the main one
and not the extended one)?   The correct order would be:

1.) Add parent object to main ArrayCollection
2.) Add children objects to the parent ArrayCollection
3.) Repeat 1  2 for all parents and children
4.) Set filterFunction for main ArrayCollection
5.) Execute refresh() on main ArrayCollection

That's about all that I have; without poking through the code.

Hi All, 

We are building an enterprise Flex app and it is time to make this thing look 
good.  The UI 
is in various states of completion and some areas are not designed. 

We basically need: 
- icons 
- visual design framework and style guide 

What are people's experiences in the Visual Design aspects of their flex 
projects?  Ideally we 
can find a contractor or firm that can actually edit CSS files.  But somehow I 
think this is 
unlikely.  

Should we go with a firm of find some random designer people? 

What deliverables can we expect?  Will any designers know how to deal with Flex 
and CSS?

[flexcoders] Best approach for playback of live session with remote shared objects?

2008-09-05 Thread stephendricketts
I have an application that records live audio/video and throughout the 
session data is changed in remote shared objects which trigger certain 
events.  Different people will change the information in the shared 
object at different times.  I'd like to playback the video and have the 
information in the shared objects trigger the same events in synch with 
the .flv.

I'm thinking I will just timestamp the information that goes into the 
shared and store it in a database.  Then during playback just make the 
same changes to the shared object again based on the video's position.

I'm new to Flex and wondering if there isn't a better way.  Any ideas 
would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

sr

[flexcoders] describeType vs DescribeTypeCache

2008-09-05 Thread reflexactions
I have read that you should use DescribeTypeCache as it is much faster 
than calling describeType directly.

I wondered how big an issue this is becuase...

I noticed that the ADG uses describeType everytime it sets the value of 
a cell into the dataProvider at the end of an edit, so it is getting 
hit an awful lot, so is it going to be a significant benefit if I 
override the function and change to using DescribeTypeCache?

 support to those interfaces, but it's a bit unnecessary. I suppose 
I could
 also set controller.services in a Script block, but I'm not crazy 
about that
 either.

I think Rick Winscott posted a link to his blog that showed how to 
filter your warnings. I don't think I bookmarked it, but it may be 
in the archives.

[flexcoders] Re: Getting a reference to a itemRenderer of a chart series

2008-09-05 Thread Fernando Ghisi
So, nobody can help me?


2008/9/5 Fernando Ghisi [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 How can I get a reference to a itemRenderer of a chart series?

 If I use getStyle method, I´ll get the reference of the ClassFactory

 Ex: Series(chart.series[index]).getStyle(itemRenderer)


 Looking for any property that I could use, I´ve found in the
 ColumnSeries a property called  _instanceCache. I could get a
 reference of the objects created by the ClassFactory using
 _instanceCache.instances, but this attribute is private.


 So, what should I do to get the reference of the itemRenderes of the series?

[flexcoders] Re: Getting a reference to a itemRenderer of a chart series

2008-09-05 Thread Tim Hoff

Assuming chart is a ColumnChart, chart.series[0].items[0] will get you a
rference to the first ColumnSeriesItem.  Charts don't have itemRenderers
and an itemRenderer is not a style.

Hi, 

I'm trying to use States and removing(RemoveChil d)  a child (mx:Text

id='mytext') and trying to add it to a different container with

addchild, but I get an error - ' identifier 'mytext' used more than once



I can do this in actionscript, but how do I do this in mxml, keeping

the  same id of 'mytext' on the text field??



mx:State name=moveit  

mx:RemoveChild target={mytext} /

mx:AddChild relativeTo= {myhbox} position=firstChil d

   mx:Text id=mytext paddingTop= 0 fontSize=16  width=100% /

/mx:AddChild

/mx:State



thanks,

Why to trying that?
I mean there's no reson for it. You better use as3 instead of states. Even
States are wrong way uses.

ItemRenders are not part of Style even is not the way we could get a
reference into a render for Charts.

Try this. http://www.flex888.com/699/the-illusive-itemrenderer.html

Maybe will help you to figure out how.
