[flexcoders] spark Itemrenderer....
Anyone know if it's possible to reuse a custom item renderer in another component that just only needs one reference of this item?? Specifically I am extending a group and would like to addElement( customItemRender); to the group in the createChildren method but I am getting 0 luck... any thoughts??? I also tried implementing the IItemrendererOwner and using that to set the data... 0 luck... spark seems to be more of fizzle...
[flexcoders] Re: Problem sorting AdvancedDataGrid
You should check out some of the examples at the ilog exilir page.. i've said this before they have some good examples... are you adding a collectionEvent to your collection? You should be adding an eventListener so that when your collection refreshes you can do everything you need to. You can see if the collection has refreshed properly by checking the return value from the refresh method var bool:Boolean = collec.refresh() --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, tntomek tnto...@... wrote: I'm not 100% certain even the main sort works via initial programmatic setting (it does after you click on grid header) This is the class in question.

you should have your source as a bindable variable then you can just change

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 4 and StyleManager
Hi, Flax 4 supports per-module style management and the StyleManager is not a singleton anymore. Each module has its own StyleManage and you have to reference that one. For UIComponent and subclasses (all visual Flex components), the style manager is available in the styleManager property. For your example, simple change the uppercase 'S' of StyleManager to a lowercase 's': styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(styles/BlueBackground.swf, true); Bye, Haykel Ben Jemia Allmas Web RIA Development http://www.allmas-tn.com On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 9:25 AM, bobby_world bobby_wo...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi!

[flexcoders] Re: What is the Correct Type of Component For This?
Hi Steve. That's so excellent mate. I simply added in your code and then the
only thing I needed to do was add in a variable to my main app called
categoryid and set it to a default of 1. I then replaced the line:-
Alert.show(event.currentItem.categoryid);
with:-
categoryid=event.currentItem.categoryid;
and it works just like that. I've bound the categoryid var in my main app to a
label component and it changes to the correspoding categoryid of each item that
is clicked so it shows it works.
Now I can simply edit my filter function which filters my links tilelist in the
main app so that it uses my new category id var as the filter paramater and I
think I'll be set :-) Is that how you'd do it?
Thanks so much for this. I'd probably be using a crappy tilelist as the
navigation if it weren't for you. You're a lifesaver.
I'm from Liverpool in England (like the beatles). I suppose I've said the word
mate before and that made you wonder :-) I'm currently studying flex on my
web development masters degree course at uni and want to go into making
ecommerce websites using php/mysql/flex. I have no experience in web dev before
this course and only have a degree in I.T. so I got thrown in the deep end
really and had to teach myself how to swim but I'm addicted to it now and am
constantly trying to perfect things which I think is my problem. :-)

[flexcoders] DataGrid | ItemRenderers | Validation
Hi, just looking for advice on the most appropriate way to approach this (or links to existing examples) :) I've got a DataGrid, and the items use a subclass of NumericStepper. This stepper validates itself depending on the total of *all *items in that column (i.e. it styles itself green if the column-total adds up to, say, 100, or red if the column-total is 100). In other words, a single itemRenderer needs knowledge of the values of ALL renderers in that column. I'm aware that itemRenderers should only take care of setting themselves, due to recycling - (ie Adobe don't intend developers to get hold of a list of all renderers, cycle over them and set properties on them externally). In this case however, in order to validate a *single *renderer I need to know about the total of all renderers within a single column. Currently I have things working - I give each renderer knowledge of its owner's dataProvider - then, in the renderer's validation method I loop through all items in the dp, total them up and set the style accordingly. However, this feels wrong. Also, it's not so bad if I have a PercentageStepper, where I could hardcode the total as 100, but what about columns where the user has a set amount of cash, and the total of all Steppers must equal that cash-value? In that case, using my setup, *each *renderer also needs to know the total cash amount, which means setting it on each renderer (easy to do, but again it feels wrong). So in a nutshell I guess I'm saying, what's the preferred way of validating an itemRenderer, when the validation of that renderer depends on properties of all the itemRenderers in that column? Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid measureHeightOfItems wrong - DG harbors items that shouldn't be the
Ok kids, this is the latest - I just put a loop on that fires a recalculation every 3 seconds or so. Yes, there's a lag but I'd rather have a delayed resize than no resize at all. Having too many event listeners to catch and resize multiple datagrids based on one dragDrop event doesn't work well and starts to short circuit DataGrid's rendering. We're looking into adding a mechanism to toggle the loop and avoid memory leaks from leaving it on when it's not needed. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, atomilux atomi...@... wrote: I did post a clean version, look at older posts. Take out the event listeners if you need something clearer. Otherwise, every other bit of code (XML data, XML processing, MXML) should allow you to get the gist of it (allow resizing of DataGrids on drag/drop GUI events). For other developers: there has been a bug corollary to the number of hacks we put on the mx:DataGrid. As in, we added the hacks and the DataGrid started having serious rendering issues.

Hi, just looking for advice on the most appropriate way to approach
this (or
links to existing examples) :)
I've got a DataGrid, and the items use a subclass of NumericStepper.
This
stepper validates itself depending on the total of *all *items in that
column (i.e. it styles itself green if the column-total adds up to,
say,
100, or red if the column-total is 100). In other words, a single
itemRenderer needs knowledge of the values of ALL renderers in that
column.
I'm aware that itemRenderers should only take care of setting
themselves,
due to recycling - (ie Adobe don't intend developers to get hold of a
list
of all renderers, cycle over them and set properties on them
externally).
In this case however, in order to validate a *single *renderer I need
to
know about the total of all renderers within a single column.
Currently I
have things working - I give each renderer knowledge of its owner's
dataProvider - then, in the renderer's validation method I loop
through all
items in the dp, total them up and set the style accordingly.
However, this feels wrong. Also, it's not so bad if I have a
PercentageStepper, where I could hardcode the total as 100, but what
about
columns where the user has a set amount of cash, and the total of all
Steppers must equal that cash-value? In that case, using my setup,
*each *renderer
also needs to know the total cash amount, which means setting it on
each
renderer (easy to do, but again it feels wrong).
So in a nutshell I guess I'm saying, what's the preferred way of
validating
an itemRenderer, when the validation of that renderer depends on
properties
of all the itemRenderers in that column?

The following have been deployed: - Main_ver1.0.swf - Module_ver1.0.swf - RSL.swf 2. Our clients have loaded and cached thosed in their browser. 3. Then all those got update, now it becomes: - Main_ver1.1.swf - Module_ver1.1.swf - RSL.swf -- this got updated but it's still using the same filename. 4. And they all got deployed. Now I know for sure our client will get the Main_ver1.1 and Module_ver1.1 without having them clear the browser-cache manually but which RSL are they going to get? Is it going to be the one from Step 1 or from Step 3?

[flexcoders] Change width of tab character in text controls?
I'm working on a Flex 3 app for keyboarding instruction. In many of the drills
I need to work with the tab character.
Flash support for working with tabs in text controls is poor. For example, it
was a work-around just to get an MX TextArea to accept tabs (by capturing
FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE events and manually inserting a tab). I realize TLF
might be better, but we've committed to Flex 3 for this project.
I'm using an embedded monospace font in the TextArea. When I enter a tab ('\t')
in the TextArea, I want it to be rendered five characters wide. Flash seems to
render tabs about two and half characters wide by default.
I've tried inserting an embedded image via htmlText, using tab stops, inserting
five spaces instead of an actual tab (a nightmare to stay on top of), and even
creating my own custom glyph in an embedded font, all to no avail.
How can I change the width of tab characters in a TextArea? Any work-arounds?

If anyone has any thoughts on this, please let me know. Meanwhile: You should check out some of the examples at the ilog exilir page.. i've said this before they have some good examples... Any way you could be a little more specific? There's a lot of stuff around ilog elixir. What page do you mean? You should be adding an eventListener so that when your collection refreshes you can do everything you need to. I'm kinda lost here. What would I need to do _after_ the collection refreshes? If I set the sort and refresh the collection, shouldn't that be enough? You can see if the collection has refreshed properly by checking the return value from the refresh method Yes. I can see that the collection has been refreshed. And I can see that the objects in the grouping collection are in the correct order. But as soon as I step past that breakpoint and view the application, the objects are sorted in a completely different (apparently random) order. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560
[flexcoders] visible child within invisible parent?
I want to create a container that will be invisible until the mouse moves into it, thus making it visible. Selected components within the container should remain visible at all times. Is this possible?

Re: [flexcoders] how to find redundant classes?
Not a real answer: document them with ASDocs - it will try to document everything - will certainly find errors in unused classes - will argue with you about those classes - you will know what to delete - bonus, you will get documentation for the project :)
[flexcoders] State of the art JSON
I've used AS3CoreLib's JSON encoding/decoding in the past, but some code I'm maintaining now has custom JSON handling. Note: we use ISO 8601 for Dates. Looking at the Flashbuilder 4 data wizards (briefy), I see JSON support and references to something call fiber, but am unclear whether this is tied to LiveCycle, and whether it's Flex 4 specific. So I guess I'm wondering what the best-practice is these days for JSON support a) With Flex 3 b) With Flex 4 Thanks.
[flexcoders] ResultEvent from HttpService not parsing xml
I have an xml doc: one two nameBob/name /two /one I have a Httpservice tage with url, resulthandler, faulthandler and resultformat=e4x. In my resulthandler, I have this: var ourXML:XML = event.result as XML; var name:String = ourXML.one.two.name; var x:int = 0; Here is the problem, I put a break point on the int assignment and look at the variables. I see that event.result AND ourXML both have the xml document in them but my name variable is empty. I even tried something like this - if (event.result.one.two.name ==Bob) and it fails. What are we missing? The debugger clearly shows the data is there but I can never seem to get it out.

[flexcoders] Adobe Air Bug!
I have created an adobe Air application and it works perfectly fine when I run the application in debug mode using Flash Builder. I wanted to test out a release build so I created a temporary certificate. Then when I launch my application nothing happens! I gave the air file to several other people and the application worked perfectly fine. Then I gave the app to someone else who had adobe flex builder 4 installed and they had the same problem as me. The app launches just nothing shows up. Is this a known adobe air issue??

[flexcoders] Re: Problem sorting AdvancedDataGrid
SWC message is wrong Make sure you have the following: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\3.5.0\fbpro\projects\datavisualization\src Based on my previous post. You can find this path if you click on Project propertiesbuild pathlibrary path expand Flex expand datavisualization and look at source attachment. This is how it matches the source code with SWC.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: spark Itemrenderer....
Test with a really simple itemrenderer. I’m pretty sure we never tested it so there may be a reason it won’t work, but none jumps to mind right now.

Re: [flexcoders] visible child within invisible parent?
Sort of. You want to put the container’s visuals in a child that is the size of the container and is behind all the other children, and make that one child visible or invisible.
