[flexcoders] can't get Tooltips and Drag and Drop to play nice

[Pruitt, Byron S]

When I perform a Drag n Drop on one of my components I get my tool tip.  I have 
implemented a custom tooltip using Adobe's example (the one with the Panel).  
Using the DragManager.isDragging in a couple of spots I can prevent the 
creation of my custom tool tip, but it defaults to creating the tool tip with 
the single space as defined below.  Through trial and error I found the 
toolTip=  is required in order for the custom tool tip to happen.  It's this 
default tool tip I can't solve.  The ToolTipEvent seems to be uncancelable, so 
I am stuck.  I thought about trying to call destroyToolTip() on ToolTipManager, 
but I am afraid the default tool tip will still show.  I haven't tried yet.

Thanks for any future help.

[flexcoders] quick XML question

[Pruitt, Byron S]

I have a variable named report set to an xml document.

var report : XML = 
dls-configurationsystem/system./dls-configuration
var n1 : XML = report.system as XML;
var n2 : XML = report.children()[0];

n1 = null
n2 = the system node

I have accessed nodes many times like I do for n1 and not a problem with it 
evaluating to null.  I can't figure out what I am doing differently with the 
above.
Any help showing me the obvious is appreciated.

Found an article online reporting the dashes are a problem in E4X syntax.  
http://www.insideria.com/2009/01/flex-xml-quick-tip.html if anyone is 
interested.



However it addresses the problem of…



dg.dataProvider = xmlDataSource.data-one;



And recommends…



 dg.dataProvider = xmlDataSource[data-one];



But in my problem, I do not explicitly state a dash in my syntax.  I expanded 
my experiment a little and defined report to be



var report : XML = 
dls-configurationsystemproduct-name/product-name/system………/dls-configuration



and tried



var n1 : XML = report.system[product-name] as XML;

and n1 is null.



Still confused.

I think the -dls-configuration is the issue. There is a solution for this 
but i cannot remember where i read about it. Do some google-ing...

[flexcoders] HttpService headers

[Pruitt, Byron S]

This seems to be an age-old issue.  I need to set the Authorization header for 
GET requests.  I have no cross-domain issues.  Everything is sent to the same 
server.

I found the following adobe TechNote: 
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403184sliceId=1
appears to state that post Flash player 9.0.115.0 the Authorization header can 
be sent with either GET or POST.  I have player 9.0.224.0.  However, it appears 
to work only for POST.

Has anyone successfully set the Authorization header for any customer header 
for that matter with the HttpService?

Thanks.
