[flexcoders] Re: My Flex Form - please help
Thanks for the tips. I did finally get a slightly different Contact Form working. So, I still want to get this approach to work as well. I do see some of the obvious errors like not even giving the input fields on the form an id. Similarly, I get it... one should not have the custom component rely upon what is in the application. The other application I found in a tutorial online used XML to package the data which is a little different from my use of an Object data type. Would there be any benefits to doing things one way or the other? I think things are closer to working now, having followed your suggestions. I am also going based on the other design I found that did work for me also. So, hopefully I have this. Is name a reserved word in Flex? It was having a problem with the variable name, but when I capitalized it, the error went away. Lastly, in a longer form that I want to use I will have combo boxes and check boxes. I understand that php needs these to be arrays. How would I setup the Object to handle this? On the right side of the = sign in the Object, I am still grabbing data from a text field on the form, correct? So, any tips/advice on this, please?

[flexcoders] Re: My Flex Form - it works!
Hi Paul and others,
Having followed your directions and seeing my own faults, I
finally got this working, using the simple design that I chose from
the beginning. I had covered OOP and AS 3.0 but until you do
different things, it's not the same as learning it in a class.
Learning to think in an OOP way is what I am developing as a skill.
I did get it though when you mentioned the idea of not having
the custom component rely on methods or properties in the application.
The only problem I have is how to handle the Fault Event from the
HTTPService. If the php form mailer had a problem then we would
handle that with the fault_handler method. I was wondering if someone
here knew php enough to be able to tell me how I could return a value
to the component if something goes wrong. I have the function
fault_handler(event:ResultEvent):void and that will get called from
resultHandler if the code returns: event.result == ERROR.
My php form does this:
$OK = mail ($mail_to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($OK)
{
echo 'sent=OK';
}
else
{
echo 'sent=ERROR';
}
Will this work in the php? If so, do I just check for ERROR as the
value of event.result?
Thanks in advance,
Bruce

[flexcoders] Re: Why is This Video Showing Up Distorted in my FLV Player?
Just a little clean up here... I figured out why the video was distorted. When playing an FLV inside a player that has a width and height smaller than the FLV's default sizes, you must set the video.smoothing property to true. If you are using a player component that does not expose the video object, you have to go into the component's source somehow or build your own player. I chose the latter and had success. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, jwebbsuccess [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for reading.

[flexcoders] Re: Help with FlexBook: was Help with Flex Component
Hello, As I am still painfully aware of the fact that I am still new to Flex, I was wondering if you or anyone for that matter, would want to help me to do this for my the Poetry Magazine that I publish online. It would be so great to have this kind of thing for the presentation of a poetry magazine online. I would gladly give full credit to anyone who would help make this happen. Our magazine shows up in position 4-6 of the generic results on yahoo.com when searching on poetry magazine. Maybe generic is not the word but I mean not on the paid listings on the search engine. It would thus be good exposure and if anyone here enjoyss poetry, that would be another incentive (I hope). I'm referring to the FlexBook component that is available under an Open-Source license. I could just stick the text on the first example use of this component, where we use somewhat transparent slides. Transparency is good at times but probably not needed for my poetry magazine.

Now, this takes me to a page with a few different examples. You can do this with a List or as a container.

I don't know. I'm missing something here. I thought I could start with a particular design and put some text on it and then later I could make more detailed modifications and customizations. I tried opening up one of the projects in Flex Builder 3 and got an error. I thought I'd start with the FlipControls and so I imported that into Flex using File Import and selecting the directory. It didn't like that. So, I tried to import the entire zip file that is available, but that didn't work either. It only tried to import the first project in there and refused to continue on to Flex, unless I hit Cancel. Any tips or help would be very appreciated. This is freely available so, it would be so useful to have for my publications. Thanks, Bruce

[flexcoders] Dispatching the itemEditEnd event from a custom item editor
I have a custom item editor for a cell in a DataGrid that consists of two ComboBoxes. Everything works perfectly, except I'd like a way to exit the item editor as soon as the user selects from the second combo box. That is, I'd like the item editor to dispatch the itemEditEnd event as if the use had removed the focus from the column being edited. I tried just having the 2nd combo box dispatch the event in response to its change event, but that didn't work. Anyone have any suggestions? TIA, ~randy

[flexcoders] Creating custom components in flex using actionscript 3.0
Hi,
I am sorry if this is a repeat question. have read through the
articles time and again from the adobe docs and some posts in this
forum, but could not resolve my issue.
My class extends a VBox and I try to create components in it. To
simplify and debug the issue, got down to only creating a simple hbox
inside the class and adding a button to it. So the steps are
1. create a class which extends vbox.
2. override createChildren method and set the height, width, and other
styles of the vbox and then call super.createChildren()
3. create a new HBox inside the createChildren method and then add a
button to it.I am setting the verticalScrollPolicy and
horizontalScrollPolicy to off, inside the createChildren method before
calling addchild.
On doing this I always see the horizontal scrollbar enabled. How do we
debug such an issue. i traced through the code and found that the
width and the height of the hbox is much lesser than the height and
width of the vbox. Is there any reason why this should be happening.
I also implemented the commitProperties method and I tried setting the
properties for the hbox in there but that did not help either.
the code is as shown below. i am working on getting the layout right
for quiet a while without any luck. so please gurus of flex help me
out here.

[flexcoders] Listem to an event sent by a DataGrid ItemRenderer
Hello, I am stuck with an issue whose solution I cannot find on the Internet. I have an application with a DataGrid: mx:DataGrid id=currentConstructions mx:columns mx:DataGridColumn dataField=buildingType/ mx:DataGridColumn dataField=endDate id=remainingTime itemRenderer=org.feilun.renderer.CountDownRenderer / /mx:columns /mx:DataGrid where CountDownRenderer is a custom ItemRenderer that can dispatch a TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE event. I would like to listen in my main application (where the DataGrid is defined) to this TIMER_COMPLETE event, but I have not managed to do it. I have tried things like: currentConstructions.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, handleTimerComplete); or remainingTime.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, handleTimerComplete); but in neither case is the event caught. Do you have any idea on how this could be achieved? Thanks a lot, Sébastien

[flexcoders] Tilelist and lists in general minimum height is always 2 rendered children?
It seems that a tilelist (or any list in general) with a percent height = 100% does not respect this but automatically makes its minimum height equal to the height of two display items (using a custom renderer. Is there a way to fix this? Example: Canvas[300x600] (width-height) canvas[100%x100] tilelist[100%x100%] -- using custom item renderer with 100x100 item displays ok on a large browser window (600 height) showing 5-6 items in the tile list when the browser is resized the components jeight gets smaller and smaller UNTIL 2 children as shown... THEN, the list stays @ 200 pixels height and the parent canvas gets smaller, making the vertical scroll bars broken (you can not see the bottom arrow and part of the bar) If you need screenshots i would be happy to submit some...
