You may want to look at extending the ComboBox control and making it  
editable. Then somehow remove the button on the side.

Are you looking for something that extends the List control?


[flexcoders] Re: Export FLEX page to PDF

2007-01-13 Thread Simon Barber
Hi Grant,

What you can do is use the BitMapData class to capture an image of any part of 
a Flex 
application and encode into a PNG. Then send that data to your server and write 
it to PDF.

[flexcoders] Bounding box with anchor point on each corner

2006-09-26 Thread Simon Barber
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has built the bounding box functionality
found in the FlexDraw application at
http://www.boomslide.com/flexDraw/. When you drag a rectangle of the
stage for instance a bounding box with 8 anchor points appear which
allows you to resize the rectangle.

Extract Cairngorm to a directory of choice.

Open Flex Builder 2.

Right Click on your project in the Navigator Panel at the top left.

In the dialog window press on [Flex Build Path].

Select the Library path tab and press the [Add SWC...] button.

Navigate to the directory where you extracted Cairngorm and select the
Cairngorm.swc file, example \bin\Cairngorm.swc.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm 2 SequenceCommand issues

2006-02-13 Thread Simon Barber
Hi,

Here are 5 steps that lead to my issue.

1. The user types his username, password and clicks login.
2. The LoginEvent is dispatched with the user details.
3. The LoginCommand execute method is called and my Application 
Delegate calls the remote method on the server.
4. onResult callback is called when the data returns from the server 
and i set all the relevant Application model data.
5. The LoginCommand extends the SequenceCommand so that i can set the 
nextEvent property and call executeNextCommand method.

The last point is where the problem lies. I have stepped through the 
code, the executeNextCommand gets called and so does the dispatchEvent
(event) but it never executes the next command in the sequence.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2.0 Form validation

2006-01-08 Thread Simon Barber
Try this...



http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml"; 
xmlns="*">

 







 



 

  http://localhost/xml/template/test.xml"; method="POST" 
showBusyCursor="True">



  {test1.text}

  {test2.text}

   

  

 

  





  

  

  

  

  



  

   

  

  



What i have done here is when the change event is fired on the text1 
TextInput the handleValid function is called. This checks to see if 
the string is valid.

Let me know if this works,

"We have been messing with the fileIO.swf tutorial and have tried
everything in the book to get it working with no luck, can anyone help
with some suggestions, when we unzip it the main.mxml will not even
load the browse window. We would also like to handle the file with php
vs cf but we cant even get the cf version working..."

I have converted the fileIO.swf example to work with the FileReferenceList
class to allow for multiple file uploads.

I can also help out with using PHP instead of CF. Let me know what sort of
problems you are having.

[flexcoders] Flex & Cairngorm + ColdFusion + Framework?

2005-08-31 Thread Simon Barber
I recently started building an application in Flex using the
Cairngorm 
framework. The server side logic will come from ColdFusion but I was 
wondering if anyone implements any MVC style framework on the 
ColdFusion side? 

I have looked at a few and the Tartan framework has a lot of 
similarities with Cairngorm. Do you think it would be worth 
implementing an MVC framework on the server side like Tartan for 
instance?

Has anyone done this and had great success?
