[flexcoders] Using embedded fonts in modules
Hey, I'm having loads of trouble getting my embedded font to display in modules. I am embedding the font in a style tag in my parent application, and I'd like to use this font inside my modules. Is there a way in which I can share this embedded font throughout my application (including modules) without having to embed the font into each individual module SWF?

[flexcoders] Searching in FlexBuilder
A while back I switched from FB Standalone to the FB Plugin primarily becuase I found that when searching using FB Standalone the results window only show the number of matches in a file: UIComponent.as - .. (5 matches) whereas the plugin showed each line that matched: UIComponent.as - line 124 . line 251 . This was a huge productivty gain as I could quickly see which matches were false or I was not interested in without needing to open the file and search through it. Now suddenly the serching has switched back to only showing the number of matches in each file again, I think this possibly coincided with my installing the latest AIR2 beta. Does anyone know how to get back the standard eclipse style searching rather than the adobe crippled searching.

Probably a timing issue. Binding is difficult to debug. Make sure your

rarely use initialize for any data oriented work.

[flexcoders] Re: Vertical separator in MenuBar
Here's a starting point for you.
To get a leg up on this the next time around you need to do something special
like this, dive into the base class source code (menubar.as in this case) and
look around to get a feel for what is happening within the default component.
For this question, I dove right in and noticed that the updateDisplayList was
looping through each menu item. From there I created a new class based upon
MenuBar and over-rode the updateDisplayList method. Voila, a quick and easy
answer.
Also, it would be considerate for all who respond to these type of questions to
post working code that can be easily pasted into FB as well as describe in
detail what you did to solve it. It doesn't help too much when we push off the
answer and not explain how to solve it the next time. I spent 10 minutes to
create the sample and respond which will go a long way for all the other
developers who will google flex MenuBar vertical line.

Re: [flexcoders] Embedded Flash in ASP.Net Page
Hi Nick, I actually did this, but still the Flash does not render properly in IE8. I thought at first that it may be because I was only running the application in the Visual Studio web development server but then when I moved the application to be hosted on IIS, the embedded flash still does not take the height in percentage. The only recourse I have as of now is to set the height to a certain pixel. But setting the height in actual pixel has also some drawbacks because if I set the height too large, then the vertical scrollbar of the browser appears, while setting it too low, some of the flash application is cropped. I haven't tested the same in other browsers since security policy in the office limits us the use of IE8 only. I don't know if a javascript hack could solve this. Perhaps, when the page is loading, a javascript will get the content height of the browser and set the value accordingly for the embedded flash object. Any thoughts? I will post the minimal ASP.net codes I have tomorrow. Thanks.

It might be worth changing your attributesData.initialize to a function call and perform the layerGroup.refresh() inside that function. But just before that call drop in a break point and debug what the grouping.source is... Just an idea. and a pretty darned good idea too :-) that fixed it. thanks. i guess it was a timing issue specific to advanced datagrid (datagrid in same popup worked just fine). thanks again.

Initialize might be too early. Test the content in a handler function and also check it in a creationComplete handler. I rarely use initialize for any data oriented work. yeah i tried doing the grouping refresh in the creationComplete event but that didn't seem to work when i first tried it but now it does ;-) thanks for idea assist guys.
[flexcoders] Comparing ArrayCollections and showing the matches
Can someone point me to an example of how to compare 2 ArrayCollections and create a new one based on what matches? I am creating an application that has a friends list for chatting. When a user logs into the server and the server updates a user list (into an ArrayCollection) I need to compare that all users list to an ArrayCollection of 'friends' (by username) and then update a third dynamic AC that is the data provider for a List. I guess the best way to state what I am trying to accomplish is that I am looking for the same functionality as Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, etc. When a user logs in the system alerts me that my friend is logged in so I can chat with them Does that make sense? Thanks!
[flexcoders] Now that Flex 4 is out is it really worth learning Flex 3?? Your opinion please.
I purchased all the Flex 3 learning material but was told last weeek that Flex 4 was totally different and that I was wasting my time learning Flex 3. Should I quit learning Flex 3 or stat with Flex 4? There are only 3 ebooks out about Flex 4. Thanks for your answers. Fred.
Re: [flexcoders] RadioButtonGroup does not appear as child of container.
RadioButtonGroup is not a display object. Maybe scan all the children and if
you find a RadioButton see what it’s group is?

When I execute the following code;
for each (var field:Object in fieldsContainer.getChildren())

trace('field[id]=' + field[id] +

}
I see all of my components except my RadioButtonGroup. I can address the
RadioButtonGroup by id, but I need to be able to find all RadioButtonGroups
that exist in a container.
How does one go about doing this?

Some aspects of Flex are very different between 3 and 4. The most visible change is probably the new component model, which will require some getting used to. But the core ActionScript language doesn't change all that much, so overall I feel that understanding Flex 3 is still the best starting point for learning Flex 4.

[flexcoders] Re: using a class once throughout the all app
Hey i think i came across something very useful. first i have to say if your app is big, split it up into modules. and also use rsl. now i came across this in the flex help. have not tried it yet but it looks like it might help brind down the size of the modules. here it is Reducing module size Module size varies based on the components and classes that are used in the module. By default, a module includes all framework code that its components depend on, which can cause modules to be large by linking classes that overlap with the application's classes. To reduce the size of the modules, you can optimize the module by instructing it to externalize classes that are included by the application. This includes custom classes and framework classes. The result is that the module includes only the classes it requires, while the framework code and other dependencies are included in the application. To externalize framework classes with the command-line compiler, you generate a linker report from the application that loads the modules. You then use this report as input to the module's load-externs compiler option. The compiler externalizes all classes from the module for which the application contains definitions. This process is also necessary if your modules are in a separate project from your main application in Flex Builder. Create and use a linker report with the command-line compiler Generate the linker report and compile the application:mxmlc -link-report=report.xml MyApplication.mxml The default output location of the linker report is the same directory as the compiler. In this case, it would be in the bin directory. Compile the module and pass the linker report to the load-externs option:mxmlc -load-externs=report.xml MyModule.mxml
