[flexcoders] Security issue - Opening a new window

2007-11-08 Thread g07m5064
Hi, 
Whenever I try to access another application in domain I get this error:
Error #2044: Unhandled SecurityErrorEvent:. text=Error #2047:
Security sandbox violation: LocalConnection.send: rucus.net cannot access

I tried  Security.allowDomain('http://mathe.rucus.net/'); on the
application being accessed. However, this didn't do the trick. I also
did performed several refreshes on the application being accessed. It
seems that randomly after the refreshes I get the same error. Can
someone help please.

I would like assistance with ideas on how to trigger a selection on

grateful of your ideas. Thanks.

Thanks Alex. I found my problem. Including dropEnabled=true in my
list creates a conflict of some sort. I had set the attribute because
I also wanted to drag a row from the datagrid. I shall now try to find
a workaround.

[flexcoders] Yahoo Maps

2007-10-17 Thread g07m5064
Hi,
Let me start by stating that I am a newbie. I have just started read
through the tutorial on using Yahoo Astra Map api at:
http://www.clockobj.co.uk/2007/10/4/using-yahoo-astra-map-api-with-flex-2

All went good. Hence, I have a map component which I would like to add
to an application where based on user selection (from a comboBox) a
different city is loaded on a map. I am not really sure what needs to
be triggered by the change event. I tried mapping the change event to
mapLoad() function:

private function mapLoad():void{ 
cityMap.mapController.setCenterByAddressAndZoom({city.selectedItem.data},14);
   }

This does not yield results. So I suspect I need to dispatch some
event that would trigger a load. Can someone point me in the right
direction.

I think I found the solution to the first question though I can't
understand it. I trimmed contents of the node and refreshed the
project. The trimming was motivated by realising that the content in
excel is represented by # and despite increasing the column width.
Also I discovered that to actually display the content in the cell
formatting had to be changed to numbers...really strange! 

 Yes the node is called comments. I changed its name to commentary
but still all other nodes I can access using
{dg.selectedItem.nodeName} I really have no idea why things aren't
working.

   What gets displayed in the DG for the comments tag?

   If the grid items are XML, then the items you get in the drop will
be XML and not of type Sport.

I am adapting flexstore such that the products are displayed in a grid.
Essentially the user clicks on either a price slider or checkboxes.
The click event calls a dispatchFilter function. This function creates
an instance of a class called FilterEvents..the FilterEvents triggers
the filtering via the Filter class. When all of this have been done I
need the returned data to be displayed on a datagrid. There is a get
function that has been implemented for purposes of populating the
dataprovider. I am at loss. Please help. 

I am sorry no code is included. I really didn't know which part to
