[flexcoders] line series - resize issue
Hi, I have a linechart within which there are a lot of line series. When I hide a line series I want the line chart to resize/adjust to the visible line series only. This doesn't happen if I make the series I want to hide using visible=false and includeInLayout=false. However the linechart does resize if I update the dataprovider. Is there any way to resize the linechart with only visible lineseries without updating the dataprovider? Thanks, Gautam.
Re: [flexcoders] css style and filter
It is not possible to define filter in css. However you can create your own custom component and define styles which can then be used to construct the filter object by overriding layoutChrome() method. Check the below url to create custom styles: http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2008/05/26/adding-styles-to-custom-flex-components/ Regards, Gautam.

Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid RollOver Trashcan like Pixus
Hi, You can either dispatch an event to your parent container with information about the item and let the parent container update the properties of each column. Also you can update the data in the dataprovider for that item and override the setter function in the itemrenderer to update the ui. Regards, Gautam.

It then hides when you rollout of the row. This is on rollover of any column in the row. I have a itemRenderer to show my delete button and I can show/hide it on rollover of it's own column. What I cannot figure out is how to show/hide the button in the itemRenderer column when I rollover another column in the same row. I can't seem to figure out how to get the row object, only the row index. Has anyone done this in flex?

Re: [flexcoders] Difference between adding child at initialization and when after creationComplete event is dispatched
Call invalidateDisplayList() on gridItem.
Regards,
Gautam.
2009/8/23 Sébastien Tromp sebastien.tr...@gmail.com
Hello everyone,
I have a difference in behaviour using Flex which I cannot understand (I am
rather new to this). Here is the thing:
I have a FarmBoard.mxml component that extends Canvas, which contains:
mx:Grid x=12 y=70 width=448 height=271
mx:GridRow width=100% height=100%
farm:FarmGridItem styleName=gridItem width=100%
height=100% id=gridCell2/
farm:FarmGridItem styleName=gridItem width=100%
height=100% id=gridCell5/
...
/mx:GridRow
/mx:Grid
The FarmGridItem is an ActionScript component defined like this:
public class FarmGridItem extends GridItem
{
private var _innerCanvas:Canvas;
public function FarmGridItem()
{
trace(this + \t Initializing farm grid item);
super();
var canvas1:Canvas = new Canvas();
canvas1.percentWidth = 100;
canvas1.percentHeight = 100;
canvas1.setStyle(backgroundColor, 0xFF);
canvas1.setStyle(backgroundAlpha, 0.0);
canvas1.addEventListener(DragEvent.DRAG_ENTER, onDragEnter);
super.addChild(canvas1);
_innerCanvas = new Canvas();
_innerCanvas.percentWidth = 90;
_innerCanvas.percentHeight = 90;
_innerCanvas.setStyle(horizontalCenter, 0);
_innerCanvas.setStyle(verticalCenter, 0);
canvas1.addChild(_innerCanvas);
// For debugging purposes
var _innerCanvas2:Canvas = new Canvas();
_innerCanvas2.setStyle(backgroundColor, 0xFF);
_innerCanvas2.setStyle(backgroundAlpha, 1.0);
this.addChild(_innerCanvas2);
}
override public function
addChild(child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject
{
trace(this + \t Adding child: + child);
(child as UIComponent).percentHeight = 90;
(child as UIComponent).percentWidth = 90;
return _innerCanvas.addChild(child);
}
Basically its role is to create smaller objects on the main grid (I did
not find another way to make sure that everytime I add an object to my main
Grid, it takes only, say, 90% of the cell space).
Please note the folowing piece of code in the constructor that I have added
for debugging purposes.
var _innerCanvas2:Canvas = new Canvas();
_innerCanvas2.setStyle(backgroundColor, 0xFF);
_innerCanvas2.setStyle(backgroundAlpha, 1.0);
this.addChild(_innerCanvas2);
With this code, I get a grid full of white cells (which is what I want). If
I remove the above piece of code to call it from another place (this
function gets called after the creationComplete event is dispatched; I use
it to initialize the data on each of my grid cells):
private function initializeFarm():void
{
var gridItem:FarmGridItem =
FarmGridItem(getFarmView()[gridCell5]);
if (gridItem != null)
{
// We really go through this piece of code
var _innerCanvas2:Canvas = new Canvas();
_innerCanvas2.setStyle(backgroundColor, 0xFF);
_innerCanvas2.setStyle(backgroundAlpha, 1.0);
gridItem.addChild(_innerCanvas2);
}
}
}
However, after the above code executes, the background of my cells
stubbornly keeps on remaining transparent (even though I have a log that
says FarmBoard226.Grid237.GridRow238.gridCell5 Adding child:
CanvasView375)
I do not know if I have provided enough information, but does anyone have a
clue on why the behaviour is different?
Thanks a lot,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to use XML file as dataProvider for s:List
if you need to load an external xml file from the file system rather than
from the server, compile your flex project using the option *
-use-network=false*. however, compiling in this fashion will not allow the
swf to make calls to the server.

I think we're almost there... except: I want the XML to reside in an
external file, not as a string in the AS3 code.
Is that easy to do?
cheers,

[flexcoders] how to localize pageTitle
Hi,
Following is the code I tried out:
mx:Application pageTitle={resourceManager.getString('AppMessages',
'GREETING')} xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:Metadata
[ResourceBundle(AppMessages)]
/mx:Metadata
I am not able to localize the application's pageTitle property string. Also
the documentation says we can't use actionscript to update this property.
Any idea what I am doing wrong...
Thanks,
Gautam.
