Re: [flexcoders] SWC's vs. source
You can use SWC in three different ways: - external library (none of the SWC contents are included into the resulting SWF), this is if you want to have RSLs (runtime shared libraries). Example, you are developing an app that uses Cairngorm and has several modules. You would than link the Cairngorm library as external for the modules. - on demand. This is the default option. Only the referenced classes should be imported. - the whole thing. This is a nice option if you need to embed things like resources already compiled elsewhere. (Flash graphics for example). Best.

[flexcoders] How to skip null ColumnSeries values in a clustered ColumnChart?
(this is a simple but difficult problem; call-out to clever chart-coders):
When displaying multiple ColumnSeries in a clustered ColumnChart (3.5 SDK), the
default behavior is to allocate a blank space when one of the series has no
value in the dataprovider. Below is a simple example (slightly modified from
the base example of ColumnCharts in the help docs): when it comes to Feb, it
shows the values for Profit and Expenses, but also leaves a blank space for
VaryingOccurence. This only happens when the Chart type is clustered (the
default).
This may seem like nitpicking, but in my context I have about 12 different
series, many of which do not occur for each category value - so each of my
category values has a whole lot of empty space between the clustered columns.
I just want to tell the Chart, don't allocate any space for the chartItem in
the series if its null (or even 'if it's zero' would be fine): i.e.,
ColumnSeries.showNullValues=false - but that doesn't exist.
Overriding updateDisplayList (to draw nothing) in a custom itemRenderer for the
series does not work: the chart still allocates space for the row. I'm
thinking there's got to be someplace in ColumnChart where it's allocating space
for the series (referring to properties like columnWidthRatio), but I can't
find where to tell it don't bother if the chartItem is null.
If this is impossible to achieve via subclassing the Chart or the Series, does
anyone have any creative ideas to achieve the end-result? To reiterate, the
goal would be to show the result of the code below, but without the empty space
for the null value in Feb.
thanks,

I don't really have any simple examples. I did look at the documentation for the Button Class (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/display/InteractiveObject.html#event:click) and noted the bubbles property is set to true so the button click should bubble up to your parent component. So, add an event listener in the parent component to catch the event. If you have multiple buttons, you will have to check the event.target property to find out which button dispatched the event (hint: Add a breakpoint in your handler and check the event.target and event.currenttarget properties). --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Angelo Anolin angelo_ano...@... wrote: Hi Valdhor, Care to show some examples?

66 line series with 218 plot points each for a total of 14388 plot points, if
we're looking for specifics. It's a lot of data that doesn't look particularly
good because of the sheer volume, but it's what they want.
I'm using a line chart. Using AMF3 to retrieve the data. The time it takes to
query the data, or transmit the data, isn't an issue. Also, the problem doesn't
happen over time, it could be the first request someone makes on the
application - I don't believe it's a memory leak.
The method used to populate the graph is thus:
var ls:LineSeries = new LineSeries();
ls.dataProvider = data[o];
ls.yField = counter;
ls.xField = dtime;
ls.displayName = o.valueOf();
if ( circleplots.selected ) {
ls.setStyle('itemRenderer', new ClassFactory(CircleItemRenderer));
}
var currentSeries:Array = linechart1.series;
currentSeries.push(ls);
linechart1.series = currentSeries;
Storing the data in an internal array, and possibly sending it to the clip
board isn't a big issue. It's trying to display that much data within a flex
construct that causes the problem(s).

I am having the same challenge right now too.
My DataGrid is a custom extension and did try using the protected
highlightItemRenderer with a public method I exposed but didnt work for me,
even with an invalidateDisplayList and validateNow after setting the
poperty.
Many web examples do it by setting the selectedItem of the dataGrid to the
item under the dragEvent, but I cant change my selection. So I have been
able to do it by:
- CustomDataGrid exposes two new functions highlightItem(
ir:IListItermRenderer) and clearHighlight( ir:IListItemRenderer )
- DataGrid.dragOver handler calls highlightItem and clearHighlight on last
highlighted item(holds reference)
- DataGrid.dragExit handler calls clearHighlight
public function highlightItem( ir:IListItemRenderer ):void
{
drawItem( ir, false, true );
}
public function clearHighlight( ir:IListItemRenderer ):void
{
drawItem( ir );
}
Works for me, just make sure you dont highlight/clear the selected item as
my logic prevents that.

Re: [flexcoders] What is the MXML syntax for this?
You can go as deep as you want. What you are doing is declaring a component, then naming one of its properties, then declaring the value of the property to be another component. Once you do that you can name one of that component’s properties and define its value to be another component, etc. It is easier to see the pattern if all of your components start with uppercase letters and properties start with lower case. thirdParty:SomeContainer thirdParty:somePropertyInSomeContainer local:MyContainer local:somePropertyInMyContainer s:Group s:layout s:VerticalLayout / On 4/15/10 3:03 PM, Christopher McArthur cmcart...@riotgames.com wrote: Thanks for the response Alex.

Re: [flexcoders] What is the MXML syntax for this?
If you want to do it purely in MXML, I would just use a [Bindable] variable.
So you can do this:
mx:Image id=myImage source={myvar}/
Then you can change the variable myvar to store any image you like and it
will automatically update the mxml.
So to add what Alex wrote you could do this:
local:myContainerComponent id=”containerComponent”
local:imageVar
mx:Image source=”{myvar}” /
/local:imageVar
/local:myContainerComponent

[flexcoders] How to load a file from a relative path with Air 2.0
Hi, so I am using FlashBuilder 4, and I'm using FlexUnit4 to create unit tests. For some tests I need to load a file as input. I can't seem to load a file from a relative path. All the air examples have you use the static defined places and want you to navigate from there (e.g. File.documentsDirectory), but this isn't really a good option for running unit tests. My project structure is the standard Flex layout. Let's say I have this: src/assets/file.txt When the project builds, this is copied into bin-debug/assets/file.txt The .swf that has the test runner also executes from bin-debug, so why can't I do this: var file:File = new File(assets/file.txt); When I do, it throws an exception. Same thing if I try var file:File = new File(); file.nativePath = assets/file.txt; Interestingly enough, I can load this file using URLLoader, but that seems to be the only way. It seem bizarre that URLLoader works, but File does not, unless I am missing something? Regards, Davis
