Does any one know how I can do this orshould I just have many small components and reuse them in othercomponents? For example..I want to: create a Doc component which contains header and footerdetails. Then create DocA component which extends Doc to also displaytext between the header and footer. Or: create Header and Footer components. Then create DocA which usesHeader and Footer and displays text.Silly example but ideally I would like to extend the component which Ican't seem to do. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

RE: [flexcoders] Component inheritance -how to add new children to an already inherited component
You can do it withAS3 or mxml but maybe start with the latter. myLogin.mxml: mx:TitleWindow xmlnsmx=:... user password stuff here /mx:TitleWindow myExtraLogin.mxml: my:Login xmlns:my="*" new stuff here. /my:Login As for lack of documentation, you obviously haven't found the zillion page pdfs.

RE: [flexcoders] AutoWidth/AutoHeight?
Hi scott,
as a matter of course, I have subclassed all the tags.
That way, when any defaults or behavioursirritate me,
I have a place to fix them.

AutoWidth/AutoHeight?
I've found that i've been constantly typing width="100%"
height="100%"and so on for containers within containers and what not, and
havefound it to be tedious task.The thing is though, sometimes i
want width="100%" but height to bedefault (ie whatever the height of the
movieclip in question)but most of the time i've wanted 100% for both
metrics for a typical container.To combat this i put together a buch of
custom MXML components thatsimply use the MX built-in ones, but on
initialize they simply setupsome default settings (margins, width/height
etc)At the same time i have an attribute like autoHeight=false|true
whichwill set the height to 100% or don't automatically define the
heightso the code looks like:public var autoHeight:Boolean =
true;function autoLayout()
{ if(autoHeight)
{ height =
height || "100%";
}}then when i want to use an autoLayout container i would do
this:inco:VBox//... Stuff
here./inco:VBoxNow, does anyone else do something
similiar? or have found it arepetitive task? have i overlooked an attribute
setting somewhere - (Ihad thought of using CSS but thats not as agile as my
autoLayoutcapabilities)-- Regards,Scott Barneshttp://www.mossyblog.comhttp://www.flexcoder.com (Coming

Defining the startup class in FlexBuilder
In Flexbuilder, when I press F6 or ALT/F6, it compiles and executes the file currently being edited. As most of my time seems to be in editing components, is there anyway of specifying the executeable application root without switching to it in the edit window.
RE: [flexcoders] Flex Bug or Not?
i've had something similar when using a mx:XML tagpointing toan external XML file. Flex seemed to want tocreate classes for all the different node types in the external file.

RE: [flexcoders] datagrid does not display http data
Not sure how fussy Flex is about validXML
but your fault and result attributes are in single quotes. Also the HTTPService
tag looks unclosed.

Subject: [flexcoders] datagrid
does not display http data
I try to fill a DataGrid from live XML data over
http, but the grid
desperately stays empty.
The code is :
mx:HTTPService id=catalogContents
contentType=application/xml
method=GET protocol=http
resultFormat=xml
url=""
href="http://localhost:8080/protocore/getCatalogContents">http://localhost:8080/protocore/getCatalogContents
fault='alert(event.fault.faultstring,,mx.controls.Alert.OK)'
result='alert(Catalog
OK,,mx.controls.Alert.OK)'
mx:DataGrid id=catalogGrid
height=100% width=100%
dataProvider={catalogContents.result.element}
Returned XML is like :
?xml version=1.0
encoding=utf-8?
elements
element Key=Key
Name=Name Dir=Dir lang=lang
nloc=nloc
npar=npar
UNKNOWN1=UNKNOWN1 UNKNOWN2=UNKNOWN2
Status=Status
Anom=Anom label=label0
/
element Key=BAT00
Name=COA034 Dir=A1/PRG lang=Cobol
nloc=944 npar=649
UNKNOWN1=58 UNKNOWN2= Status=CORRECT
Anom=OK label=label1 /
element ...
/elements
I know that the Server part is OK, as I am able to
display raw XML
code in the following TextArea:
mx:TextArea
text={catalogContents.result}/
I tried the same, with XML compiled statically,
and it works :
mx:Model id=catalogContentsModel
ource=D:\\src\\Flex\\Phoenix-proto\\cataloContents.xml
/
mx:DataGrid id=catalogGrid
dataProvider={catalogContentsModel.result.element}
Help would be greatly needed, I tried many
different combinations of
returned XML without success (like returning
mx:Array/mx:Object
tags, specifying the object attributes as XML
attributes or as XML
elements, nothing work)
Am I *really* an idiot as I seem to be the only
one with this problem.
RE: [flexcoders] Flex + Java Classes (as RemoteObjects) Config Question

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex +Java
Classes (as RemoteObjects) Config Question
All.
Basically I am trying to configure the my flex
application to work with some
server side java objects (basic pojos) and am
getting a
'flashgateway.adapter.NoSuchServiceException'
error thrown when I attempt to
access it. I have been able to get this working on
several different servers
but am at a loss to why this one particular setup
is causing an issue. I am
running my connectivity test with the both a
helloWorld java object and the
sample java connector that comes with the flex
install.
This is my environment.
Jrun 4.0 (running latest updater) install
I have several Jrun servers running each with a
couple of apps.
For the environment I am trying to set up I have
configured a new server
(called FlexProjects) and extracted the flex.war
file into a directory in
that server called 'flex'. I loaded my test java
classes (also tried the
Cairngorm demo) into the
{insall-server-root}/FlexProjects/Flex/WEB-INF/classess
directory.
Is there something that I am missing in the config
of Jrun that is not
having the gateway find the classes in that
directory (oh, I can confirm
that the classes work through a jsp running on
that page).
Thanks.
Ben
