[flexcoders] Cairngorm Event Question
Where can I ask a Cairngorm/Flex Event Question? I posted in the Adobe forum,
but as usual have not received any replies.
The question is how to get something to happen. When the user clicks an item
renderer in one grid I want to populate a second grid with data.
Here are the relevant parts=
UserAA_NmLk_Renderer.mxml:
public static const CLICK:String = 'USER_AA_RETRIEVE_EVENT';
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
removeAllChildren();
if (value == null ||
value == )
{
return;
}
super.data = value;
var lb2:LinkButton = new LinkButton();
lb2.label = value.individualName +
: + value.rspVer;
lb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, retrieveList);
addChild(lb2);
}
public function retrieveList(event:Event):void
{
dispatchEvent(new Event(UserAA_NmLk_Renderer.CLICK, true, false));
}
Event.as:
public static const USER_AA_RETRIEVE_EVENT:String = UserAARetrieveEvent;
Controller.as:
addCommand( Events.USER_AA_RETRIEVE_EVENT, UserAARetrieveCommand );
When I step through it I get to the dispatch and the proper label appears in
the top grid. But I never get to UserAARetrieveCommand.
I am getting very desperate on this and have been fighting it for days.
Any help including the problem or where to go with the problem will be greatly
appreciated!

Re: [flexcoders] windows 8 store app onscreen keyboard invoking
ah ok. I set up a test where I added accessibility properties to the
sprite. Doesn't invoke the keyboard in metro :(
I've also traced out Accessibility.active onto a textfield in metro and it
returns false.
Here's the added code:
private function init():void
{
drawSprite(); // Does not invoke Metro soft Keyboard
drawSpriteWithEventHandler(); // Does not invoke Metro soft Keyboard
drawTextField(); // Does not invoke Metro soft Keyboard
drawInputTextField(); // successfully invokes Metro soft Keyboard
setTimeout(updateAccessibility, 2000);
}
private function updateAccessibility():void {
console.text += Accessibility.active: + Accessibility.active+'\n';
if(Accessibility.active) {
Accessibility.updateProperties();
}
}
private function drawSpriteWithEventHandler():void
{
textInputEH = new Sprite();
textInputEH.x = 100;
textInputEH.y = 200;
var g:Graphics = textInputEH.graphics;
g.beginFill(0x22ff00, 1);
g.drawRect(0,0,200,80);
g.endFill();
addChild(textInputEH);
textInputEH.buttonMode = true;
textInputEH.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function
(event:MouseEvent):void
{
console.text += event.currentTarget+'\n';
} );
addEventListener(Event.ADDED, addedHandler);
var accessProps:AccessibilityProperties = new AccessibilityProperties();
accessibilityProperties = accessProps;
}
private function addedHandler(event:Event):void {
console.text += addedHandler: + name+'\n';
var accessProps:AccessibilityProperties = new AccessibilityProperties();
accessProps.name = 'spriteWithAccessability';
accessProps.description = 'textbox';
textInputEH.accessibilityProperties = accessProps;
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED, addedHandler);
}

I was more interested if you could get the Sprite to display the keyboard
by adding accessibility properties to it.

Hi Alex
Yep, focus definitely does go to the sprite and the stage's focus is set.
I also outputted all the events that the textinput received (I've excluded
some overly chatty ones like enterframe) Accessibly is enabled for the
project and I've added the following to the MXML textInput which seem to no
difference:
accessibilityEnabled=true accessibilityName=textbox
accessibilityDescription=textbox
when I have a universal event listerner I get these events in both
displayAsPassword enabled and disabled textInputs:
preinitialize
initialize
resize
creationComplete
activate
touchBegin
touchRollOver
touchOver
removed
focusIn
touchMove
removed
touchMove
touchEnd
touchTap
touchOut
touchRollOut
click

[flexcoders] RE: Cairngorm Event Question
I think I found the solutions. As always, it brings up a new question.
The problem was I was trying to follow the pattern of prior code and I decided
to dump that and go with the same kind of code that populated the first grid.
If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to copy some code here to share.

[flexcoders] Passing Data
I have an item renderer that is a linkbutton. It is in an advancedatagrid of a
few columns. When it is clicked, a procedure is fired up and that procedure
needs to know the values of the datasource for that row. How do I communicate
that?
Here is the renderer:
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
removeAllChildren();
if (value == null ||
value == )
{
return;
}
super.data = value;
var lb2:LinkButton = new LinkButton();
lb2.label = value.individualName +
: + value.rspVer;
lb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, retrieveList);
addChild(lb2);
}
public function retrieveList(event:Event):void
{
var retrieve:UserAARetrieveVO = new UserAARetrieveVO();
retrieve.type = Const.USER_AA_RETRIEVE;
retrieve.indvID = // selected row of datasource id;
retrieve.parmStartDate = // selected row of datasource start;
retrieve.parmEndDate =// selected row of datasource end;
(new UserAARetrieveEvent(retrieve)).dispatch();
}
TIA,
Jerry
Re: [flexcoders] windows 8 store app onscreen keyboard invoking
If you turn off accessibility in the MXML app does displayAsPassword still make
a difference? I’m not really sure how to help here, just throwing out ideas.
