[flexcoders] Date Format

[m.frigge]

Hi,

is there an easy way in Flex to format a date from
Mon, 17 Dec 2007 22:26:11 +1100 to the users local time?
Or would it be better to convert the date during the back 
end process to a UTC timestamp??

[flexcoders] Download files using a php script

[m.frigge]

Hi,

is it possible to download files in a Flex app from
the server to the user by calling a php script that 
only allows the download if a user is authorized? 
I know how to handle the authorization check.. it is
more about if there is a way to echo or send the data
or whatever by a php script instead of 
directly linking to the file from within flex???

[flexcoders] Set form item to invalid

[flexcoders] Set menuBar dataProvider per AS

[m.frigge]

Hi,

I had a working MenuBar until 
I had to change my application
structure. Now I can't bind the 
dataProvider anymore in the menuBar's
mxml tag. 

So I tried something like this...

[Bindable]
private var menuBarCollection:XMLListCollection;

private function setUpMenuBar(event:Event):void{
  menuBarCollection = new XMLListCollection(menubarList);
  menuBarRef.dataProvider = menuBarCollection;
}

The function is called on the MenuBar's
Initialize event and menuBarList is
a XMLList, that was working fine before.

I also tried to use other events as well as 
things like invalidateNow()
after I set the dataProvider, but the 
MenuBar doesn't get any items!? 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, Max

[flexcoders] Skin is jumping on resize

[m.frigge]

Hey, too make it short I uploaded 
an example. You can resize the window
in the bottom right corner. 
Some lines start jumping when u resize
and that looks pretty ugly.
The skin in the example skinning fla 
file has got hair lines too and there
it works fine. I traced window position,
width, height and so forth because I
thought they might be in subpixels 
but everything looks fine. 

Any ideas how to avoid this?

[flexcoders] Placing the label in a Panel

Hi there, 

I was trying to customize a Panel

I increased the headerHeight and want

I know that it must be the second child inside

[flexcoders] HitTest Problems with Button that includes white

[m.frigge]

Hey there,
I hope you all had a great new years. 

I have got a problem with a button skin. 
The skin contains a white area and it seems
that it doesn't recognize that area when I
roll over with my mouse. The Skin always 
jumps back to the normal state (instead of 
keeping the over skin).

Can I tell Flex that it should just use the skins
shape for the hitTest and ignore colors?!

Since you guys are already talking about removing event Handler I

My Problem is that the event Handler doesn't get removed. I have a

So i did this:

getMailService.removeEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,
getMailResultHandler);
getMailService.cancel();

But the ResultEvent still gets fired.. I can't remove it??

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: Select next DataGrid item after one removed

[m.frigge]

So i was testing around a bit more. When I use a timer with 20ms on a
30fps movie it works. You see the selected item bar flicker though and
it is not a good solution I reckon. Another thing is that when you hit
the delete Button several times really quick it still sometimes
happens that it selects the one after. :-(

[flexcoders] Search function via backend or frontend?

Hi there,

just a general question. What would you recommend as a search
function, when you already have the data loaded in Flex? To create a
filterFunction or to do a new request to the backend that returns the
result? Sounds kind of sstupid but I have got the feeling that the
filterFunction does not have the best performance, but maybe i am wrong?

it's kind of a stupid workaround but if you don't want to create a

 Hi
 
 i am having a hell of a tme finding out how to style this. Basically i

 Looking at the DataGrid styles i have noted that:
 
 1. HeaderSeparatorSkin - this only affects the vertical lines between 
 the header columns and not the horizontal row seperator that i am 
 looking to style
 
 2. HeaderStyleName - only affects text in the datagrid header
 
 3. There are various other styles in the documentation but they target 
 the vertical and horizontal lines between the datarows and do not 
 affect the line/border between the header and data rows
 
 4. borderColor does affect the color of the header row seperator but 
 none of the other border styles (borderThickness, borderSides etc) seem 
 to target it. And obviously i am looking to change its thickness rather 
 than color
 
 So, it seems that this header row seperator has no styles to control 
 it. Anyone any ideas how i can configure this?

[flexcoders] Re: HorizontalList image linking problem

[m.frigge]

You the HorizontalList dispatches the events. Not the Array Object.
Try something like:

private function changeHandler(event:Event):viod
{
var label:String = event.target.selectedItem.label;
Alert.show(item clicked with label +label);

}

mx:HorizontalList id=CameraSelection  
 height=425 columnCount=2 width=958 y=76 toolTip=Select the 
 image to view x=13 change=changeHandler(event)
 
 mx:dataProvider  
 mx:Array
   mx:Object label=ABC 
 icon={lan_img1}/   
mx:Object label=XYZ icon={lan_img2}/
mx:Object label=DEF icon={lan_img2}/
 /mx:Array
 /mx:dataProvider
 /mx:HorizontalList

HTH, Max

[flexcoders] Re: Force DataGrid item to update style

[m.frigge]

Me again :-). 

So I could almost fix it myself.. took me a long time though. There's
only one little thing and hopefully some more experienced coder can
help me out this time please. The example posted below works fine
until you sort the dataGrid by one of its columns. 

[L=Here]http://16-bits.com/ItemRenderer/ItemRenderer.html[/L] is the
example with ViewSource again. 

Anyway. How come that it is such a big deal to achieve something like
this?! I guess I would have been quicker, if I had done the whole
dataGrid thing in Flash by myself. What strategies do you guys out
there use to solve issues like that?!? I mean how do get a picture of
how a component works in its details?! 

Cheers, Max

 Hi Johan,
 I tried that as well .. I also tried .styleChanged() and it doesn't do
 anything. The changed text properties are only visible when the item
 gets deselected!?

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid ItemRenderes - How to access the {data} from the datagrid

[m.frigge]

Hey Mark,

I'm struggling with itemRenderers too. First of all here
http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2007/03/thinking_about_item_renderers_1.h\
tml  is a link to Alex's blog speaking about itemRenderers and showing
some nice examples. In the BlinkWhenDataChanged example he is changing
Background settings. I tried to adopt his itemRenderer and change it so
that it checks a data value and sets the textFormat depending on what
value the data has. This
http://16-bits.com/ItemRenderer/ItemRenderer.html  is how far i came.
I toggle the value on change, so when you click it the style changes. My
only Problem is that it doesn't work anymore after sorting the dataGrid
by one of its columns. Maybe we can work on this together :-).

Cheers, Max

 Hi.
 In a itemrenderer I'd like to access a {data} value in a Script in the
 itemrenderer. I just can't figure out how to do this.

 I have an ArrayCollection as the dataprovider for the DataGrid.
 In a Column, I sue a itemrenderer status

 Inside renderer.status.as I have a VBox, with a init() function.
 Inside init I'd like to test if data.repeating != null and if so,
 set a label to a specific value, if not null, set to another value.

 vboxscript/scriptlabel//vbox

 Please - can anyone help me out with an example on how to accomplish
 this, I hope, simple task.

 (The reason for using a VBox was that I had my hopes for setting the
 background color also, so if != null color=XX + text = XX etc.

 Thanks for your time
 Mark

[flexcoders] Re: Force DataGrid item to update style

[m.frigge]

Hey Ben,
thx for your answer, but it is doing exactly the same when I use the
itemClick event and when I use itemFocusIn it doesn't do anything at
all?! I reckon I either have to customize the column or the Renderer..
something like that. But I don't have enough experience to figure out
what and where. Any other ideas? This issue is really driving me nuts.
I mean it shouldn't be a big thing to achieve something simple like that?!

Cheers, Max

 Its because you're calling your compute function from the change
 event. Try calling it from itemFocusIn or itemClick or something.
