Re: [flexcoders] scale9grid question
My specific requirement is skinning the scrollbar thumb. It is drawn in Flash as a vector shape (the thumb itself) containing another shape (a rectangle) in the middle of the first one. When the scrollbar resizes (stretches), I don't want the middle shape to stretch as well, but retain its shape. Since the shapes are used for skinning and embedded in Flex, I don't have code to manage them. So I'm still at a loss on how to prevent the resizing of the inner shape.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: The lifespan of flex.
For its completeness and integration of solutions, no one can hold a candle to Adobe: Photoshop, illustrator, flash cs5, flash builder, actionscript, air, coldfusion. Is there any other company that provides class-leading products in each and every component (both design and run-time) of an Internet application?? And no, I'm not an Adobe employee, to be clear :).

Some of his specific worries are to do with the way flash isn't allowed on certain apple mobile devices and the initial implementations of HTML5 which is obviously backed by the W3C. Their concern is that flex won't be a supported product 5 years down the line and/or the changes in browser technology by that point will render flash obsolete. Have any studies been done about the long term feasibility of flex? Are Adobe commited to a long term existence of the product? Is there any public evidence of large firms using it successfully?

[flexcoders] list event listener(s) for an event type?
Hello, These are more of AS3 questions, but probably useful for Flex: Is it possible to have more than one active event listener for the same event type on the same event dispatcher instance? Is it possible to list all the listener functions ( 1 or all ) for a particular event type? Thanks.
Re: [flexcoders] Wheres my scrollbars gone? mx:Application to s:Application
I did that, by adding the Scroller in a skin file. Scrollbar appears, but not responsive to mouse wheel. Where should I look?

A second post in a single day! I have been working with the Flex SDK again although i have only really been experimenting this week. I managed to finish off a current module and its working great but the main thing concerning me is no scrollbars. mx:Application would just created scrollbars if the content required it. However Spark does not have this functionality. I wrapped my component in a s:Group clipAndEnableScrolling=true And now i get a little 300x200ish window with scrollbars which has destroyed my comonent layout.. Killed with frustration, i attempted to change back to mx:Application but of course, s:DropDownList is a spark component and so if i go back to mx:application then i break my component.

Just wondering if anyone else here has also tried OpenPlug (http://developer. openplug. com/), and what you think of the product.__
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Modify binding event
I believe you can listen for the change event dispatched by the associated textinput as the user edits. This event should fire for each keystroke applied to the textinput that changes its value. Assuming that the textinput value is valid, you can then make changes to the model.

The model is updated as expected, even if the button is held down. (The model updates every time the value 'steps' higher or lower). The functionality that isn't quite what I desire is when the user clicks in the associated text input box and types in a value. The model is only updated once the value is committed (e.g. enter is pressed or the stepper loses focus). However, I'd like the model to be updated on every keypress. Thoughts?

I'd like the model to be updated *while* NumericStepper changes (e.g. while the user clicks and holds the 'up' button) instead of only making the change once the stepper loses focus. I have a feeling this requires some use of the following format: [Bindable(event=myCustomEvent)] My best guess is that I need to write listeners for the mousedown/mouseup/keydown/keyup events to detect when the user is making changes to the stepper. These listeners will dispatch 'myCustomEvent' which will cause the data model to be updated. Is this the right approach? Thanks! :) -Rich
Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid error when scrolling to last row and starting item edit
Hi Alex, It turned out, the error below is caused by setting the DataGrid.editedItemPosition property with an object that has invalid rowIndex attribute value. For example, having a rowIndex greater than the number of rows in the datagrid. In retrospect it would have been more helpful to get an error message directly indicating the invalid row (or column) index. Nonetheless I'm glad to have root-caused it. Should this be filed as a bug, if it hadn't been yet? Thanks.

[flexcoders] incorrect component focus when returning to Flex app
Hello, In my FB4 app, I click on an item renderer, which puts the focus on the text input field within the item renderer. I then click on another component X in the same app. The focus is now correctly in the last component I clicked on. I then click away from the FB4 app browser, on another app (FB4 IDE, Email client, etc). I then click back on the FB4 app browser, making it the active window again. At this point, the focus is consistently on the text input field I mentioned above, which is undesired behavior. If anything, the focus should be on component X, which is the last control I clicked on before leaving the FB4 app. Can anyone explain this behavior, and the corresponding fix? Thanks in advance.
[flexcoders] FB4: editing one project, not finding classes from another referenced project
Hi FlexCoders, I'm using Flashbuilder 4 and have 2 different projects that are both open. Project A is set up so that it references the source folder of Project B. When editing files from A, the code hints show the classes from B. I just inherited this setup. I just added new classes in Project B, and noticed that these new classes are not visible from Project A. The code hints do not show these new classes, and compiling A results in errors stating that the class is not found. I've looked at all the location for specifying project properties for A, but couldn't seem to find the fix for this problem. Any ideas what the fix to this problem is? Thanks, Henry
