[flexcoders] Question about 'copyLocale'
Usage: copylocale srcLocale dstLocale copyLocale is a command to generate framework resource for each locale. I wonder whether srcLocale should be a default locale for dstLocale. In other words, should srcLocale be a locale that is as close as possible to dstLocale. For example, would the following two commands generate the same results? 1 - copylocale en_US de 2 - copylocale de_DE de de_DE is closer to de and it can be a default locale for de - instead of en_US. Would 'copylocale en_US de' cause any error? The following document does not not mention anything about that: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=l10n_3.html Any advice is greatly apprecidated, Tung Chau

[flexcoders] Re: How to implement right click drill down for either PieChart or ColumnChart
I am not writing things in AIR, therefore, I cannot rely on rightclick event. I assigned contextMenu of each PieSeries and ColumnSeries to my custom ContextMenu.

[flexcoders] Limitation in AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer
Hi,
In the first column of my custom AdvancedDataGrid, I want to display
two 16x16 images right before the name of the item. However,
extending AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer class does not allow me to do
that since this class's API does not expose any method
called createChildren. The class simply extends TextField class.
If I use an in-place itemRenderer, the indentation on the life side
of all leaf nodes is messed up. The indentation on the left side of
each tree node is needed in order to show a clear hierarchical
structure.
mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText=Name dataField=name

Subject: [flexcoders] dataTipFunction position in datagrid
I have the following:
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Acct dataField=acct width=50
showDataTips=true dataTipFunction=fullAcctName/
The fullAcctName returns a string.
Unfortunately, the string is displayed right over the cell you are
hovering over to get the tooltip. Is there a way to give it an
offset
so it doesn't block the cell?
Thanks!
[flexcoders] Re: dataTipFunction position in datagrid
In the API for AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer, there was
no tooltipshow event defined.

[flexcoders] Grouping in AdvancedDataGrid and MS OutLook's Arrange By Date
Hi, I need to use Grouping in AdvancedDataGrid to group data based on Date. However, the result showed the grouping in terms of day, hour, minute, second and this is not what I need. How do I group data that will appear exactly how MS OutLook does for Arrange By Date feature ? Any advice is greatly appreciated. All the emails in OutLook are organized into the following categories: Today, Yesterday, Last Week, Two Weeks Ago,etc. Thanks in advance, Tung Chau
[flexcoders] Flex 3 : : showDataTips in AdvancedDataGrid does not work any more after groupin
Hi, I set showDataTips = true in one of an AdvancedDataGridColumn and it works without grouping. As long as I use grouping and call refresh() function on a GroupingCollection instance, showDataTips does not work any more. I tried to set showDataTips = true after calling refresh() on a GroupingCollection instance, but this does not work. I really need to use showDataTips since my Name column' values are too long to be fully displayed in the table. Any help is greatly appreciated. Tung Chau
[flexcoders] Re: Grouping in AdvancedDataGrid and MS OutLook's Arrange By Date

[flexcoders] Converting AS3 class into XML
Hi, I need to convert an AS3 class into XML based on all the public/private properties that the AS3 class has. However, I have not been able to find a way or any API that allow me traverse through all properties that a class has. This should be a generic way that can be applied to any AS3 class. I did look at the XMLTools.as file written by Michael J. Prichard. However, it seems to work with AS2 only. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Regards, Tung Chau
[flexcoders] HSlider and in-line Item Editor(Renderer)
Hi everybody, I wonder if it is possible to extend HSlider class and make it work as in-line Item Editor(Renderer). I love to use DataGrid and HSlider together, but currently HSlider does not implement IDataRenderer, IListItemRenderer, and IDropInListItemRenderer interfaces. It seems to me that making my CustomHSlider extend HSlider and implement the above 3 interfaces is not enough. There must be some more work to do in the background. Am I right? I simply want to know if anybody here has ever tried to do the same thing and whether it is possible at all to covert an HSlider to an in- line Item Renderer. Any advice is greatly appreciated, Tung Chau
