[flexcoders] add/remove element for spark list
HI All, I am trying to add an effect when an element of a spark List is added or deleted. It was quite a breeze with Flex 3, but I am pulling my hair with Flex 4... See example below of what I am trying to do: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7fa8.html Jason Graham has an example that approaches it, but it looks like it is not working for a List component and it looks like Jason has to go through some hoops to get the intended effect. http://www.flexsamples.com/blog/2010/01/ Are there any hooks to get this done with the new Spark architecture? E.g. can elementAdded(i:int):void or elementDeleted(i:int):void be used? Looked at it for a deleted element, but it seems that the itemRenderer is taken off the display list even before any effect can be applied... Thanks

[flexcoders] truncatedToFit on Text/TextArea
Hello all, I'd like to be able to use truncateToFit on TextArea or Text. unfortunately the truncateToFit on Text does not seem to work well (it cuts words in the middle), what more - I would like to be able to edit the truncation string myself. I'd like to be able to do this with htmlText, word-wrapping and multiple lines. Does anyone have a solution for something like this? I am using Flex 3.2. Thanks for the assistance! Yael

[flexcoders] Re: Multiline Textfield Trunctation
Hello, I used UITextField component in an attempt to create a multiline text field which can truncate according to its limited size. The good news is that it did manage to truncate the text and add ... without breaking words in the middle. The bad news is in some of the cases the text truncated too early! The second line of text included a single word with ... but the rest of the line remained empty, though it did have a few more words it should have fit in there. Is there any way to resolve this? I tried using autoSize and updating the text and width of the UITextField upon each setting of new text, but it did not help. I'll be very hear to hear if this problem has come up before and if there are any suggestions for solutions. Thanks for your assistance!

Odd. Well if you want to dig further you can see if the components that complain are actually using FTE somehow. Or if you have time to conjure up a simple test case we can take a look.

The horizontal scrolling issue seems to be a Flex 3 bug: when I change the width and height, so that there is only a vertical scrollbar - then everything starts to work ok. It is quite possible and even likely for set data() to be called before your label exists. I don't really want to take the time to teach you about the right way to deal with the component lifecycle, but you can easily learn about it through googling. However, there is no need for you to even be writing a custom itemRenderer in this instance. Look at TileList_withStyle at flexdiary.blogspot.com, and use the styleFunction to pass back an object with the appropriate style properties. Use mx.controls.Label in the itemRenderer field of the TileList_withStyle. Then use label in the labelField property. That way you can accomplish this without having to worry about the component lifestyle and you can avoid the extra weight of an itemRenderer based on Canvas. HTH; Amy
[flexcoders] Refresh list with itemRenderer/ComboBox
I have two scenarios where I have to refresh rows of a list or datagrid because the contents are computed, and one of the inputs to the computation (some meta-information) has changed. In the first (a DataGrid) I just have a labelFunction for one of the columns, and calling refresh() on the ArrayCollection in the presentation model does the trick. The second is more complicated - the list has an inline item renderer which is really a mini-editor containing a combo box. I'm struggling to get the combobox label to update. Tried calling refresh() on the array collection, invalidateList() on the list, and even executeBindings() on the list, to no avail. Binding works in all other use cases, eg. inserting and deleting items from the list. Any special considerations with an inline item renderer or combobox when forcing a refresh? As an aside, this description from the LiveDocs for executeBindings is a bit odd. Executes the data bindings into this UIComponent object. Workaround for MXML container/bindings problem (177074): override Container.executeBindings() to prefer descriptor.document over parentDocument in the call to BindingManager.executeBindings(). This should always provide the correct behavior for instances created by descriptor, and will provide the original behavior for procedurally-created instances. (The bug may or may not appear in the latter case.) A more complete fix, guaranteeing correct behavior in both non-DI and reparented-component scenarios, is anticipated for updater 1.
[flexcoders] Re: Could not resolve * to a component implementation.
The point is that creating 2 files in the same folder, with the same case-sensitive name, is ambiguous. When you import one of the files into a component, how do you suppose that the compiler would know which one to use? It doesn't matter if its a file or class or interface or whatever. The compiler can't read your mind; yet :) Your approach of abstracting the view script code out of the view is a good idea; especially for unit tests. Just use a different name and you'll be fine. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Brian J.

How are you refreshing the ArrayCollection? If you are doing something like

done it already, try this:
oldArr.removeAll();

oldArr.addItem(newArr.getItemAt(i));
}
Good luck!

Hi,

I'm getting the Could not resolve * to a component implementation. error

my case in the slightest. I presume I'm just missing something obvious, but
maybe its something more serious.
So, to solve this problem, I've tried two things, and both work, as far as
they take me. First, I added a new component, of the exact same variety,
and then copied the contents of the erroring component into it. I replace
the viewstack 'page' with the new component (which as near as I can tell is
IDENTICAL, but with a different name), and the compiler error goes away.
I can also solve this by simply renaming the original component letting
FB4 refactor for me. The error goes away again. But if I then re-rename
back to the original name, I get the compiler error again.
I've tried to clean the project several times, and that doesn't help.
I'd really like to understand what I've done wrong here. What am I
missing?
Thanks much!

Re: [flexcoders] Refresh list with itemRenderer/ComboBox
Hi Richard,
How are you refreshing the ArrayCollection? If you are doing something like
this:
oldArr = newArry;
then its not going to work because of the way binding works. If you haven't
done it already, try this:
oldArr.removeAll();
for(var i:int=0; inewArr.length; i++){
oldArr.addItem(newArr.getItemAt(i));
}
Good luck!

Any special considerations with an inline item renderer or combobox

As an aside, this description from the LiveDocs for executeBindings is
a bit odd.
Executes the data bindings into this UIComponent object. Workaround
for MXML container/bindings problem (177074): override
Container.executeBindings() to prefer descriptor.document over
parentDocument in the call to BindingManager.executeBindings(). This
should always provide the correct behavior for instances created by
descriptor, and will provide the original behavior for
procedurally-created instances. (The bug may or may not appear in the
latter case.) A more complete fix, guaranteeing correct behavior in
both non-DI and reparented-component scenarios, is anticipated for
updater 1.

[flexcoders] dynamically create xml issue
I want to create a XMLList using e4x grammar like this:
var list:XMLList =
Region
city LA. /city
city SF. /city
...
/Region;
function createList(nodeName:String, city:String):void{
...
...
list += nodeName city / nodeName ;
}
but the list finally is look like this:
nodeName city /nodeName
nodeName city /nodeName
...
How can I create xmlList node and xmllist node content dynamically ?
[flexcoders] Re: Grouping Data for AdvancedDataGrid Tree View
You can use a custom grouping function, which may give you what you want. Look at the calendar example on flexdiary.blogspot.com for an example of a groupingFunction in action. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Cub235 ja...@... wrote: I have an ArrayCollection filled with flat data from a database containing the fields App, Function, Form, Field, and Description and want to display this data in a tree structure. I have done this many times before using the grouping feature of AdvancedDataGrid, however this set of data is a bit different and I am not getting the results I want. App is the root of the tree and there is the possibility of having Descriptions that are 4 folder nodes deep, as in the Description is specific to a Field. A description can also be a general description of the app itself. When the description is for the app level the data looks like AppName, , , , Description of Core Application, leaving blank spaces in the Function, Form, and Field. Since the Grouping is set for all 4 fields this results in 3 blank folder nodes under the App node before the Description for the App is displayed. What I would like is for the Description to be a leaf directly under the App level node. Basically anywhere there is a blank folder eliminating that part of the structure. So far I have not been able to figure out how to do this, any help or recommendations of things to try to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jacob
Re: [flexcoders] Refresh list with itemRenderer/ComboBox
I'm not re-populating the array. Imagine it's a list of employees, and one
of the properties is a job id. When displaying the list, the job title is
looked up (eg. by a labelFunction on a DataGridColumn). Now, imagine the job
title is edited elsewhere in the application. When we detect this (eg. via a
listener) we can just call refresh() on the employee array, and the
itemrenderers will run again.
The second scenario I alluded to would be something like having a combobox
in the grid cell for changing the job type. Once again the job title needs
to be re-displayed if it is changed elsewhere, but in this case it is the
dynamically-computed label of the combobox.
