Well, I fumbled my
way through the help docs and put together a pretty coo lil' app (for my first
one at least; file attached).I couldn't think of anything useful to do so
I looked at the samples and saw the Blog Reader. So, I figured I'd read theMXNA
feeds and display them. If someone could critique the app and let me know how
everything looks that'd be great. I wanna learn how to do things right from
jump.
Being I went through
the entire process I now have some questions about
functionality.
Questions:
1) Without using
ActionScript, can I make text in a TextArea clickable?
Code
excerpt
-
mx:TextArea x="0" y="0"
text="{info.selectedItem.link}newline{info.selectedItem.excerpt}" width="100%"
height="100%" editable="false"/
-
How can I make the info.selectedItem.link a link?
2) How can I get the NetConnection Debugger open? Do I need to
import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebugger?
3) Is there a way to take an object (Array or RecordSet) and
make that a Tree's dataProvider without XML'ing it up? I saw a few posts inhere
about it but not sure if they answered it (brief
looks).
Ex -
function blah(result){
myTree.labelField =
"name";
myTree.dataProvider =
result;
}
I'm not sure if labelField is an option but I did seeearlier
setting the dataProvider worked but everything was merely an item and I hadno
control over the folders. What I would really be doing is
this:
function blah(result){

i++){
result.items[i].posts =
mxnaCFC.getFeedsByCategory(result.items[i].Category);

Thisway I

John, I'll take the easy one (question #1).
:)
You can make a TextArea clickable by embedding a call to
getURL in the mouseDown event handler. Here's a simplified version that links to
a new website when you click on the TextArea. There is a little AS code, but
it's inline rather than in a code block:
?xml version="1.0"?mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
xmlns="*"
mx:Box id="box" width="200" height="200"
/ mx:TextArea id="ta1" text="Click Here to Go To
Website"
mouseDown="getURL('http://www.jessewarden.com');"/
/mx:Application

Hey thx Jester. I found the script tag fast but quickly wentaway
from it because I was falling back on my crutch (AS) and wanted to learn
mxml.
1. Nah, I mean making a URL of the text.
Ex -
Click here to blah blah blah.
'Click here' would be a link. Like wrapping a tags around
it or something.
2. Ok coo. I'll research.
3. :-)

Very interesting to see the opposite
approach of me; no Script tags. Your app itself seems to workvery
well; the service itself is dog slow, but you have the cursor, resizing,
alert on error... nice!
1. It's already selectable; do youmean
editable? It's set to false by default.
2. That's what I did... but I installed it
custom; don't know if the one that comes with FlexBuilder 1.5 is the
same way or not. Bet it's in the docs somewhere.
3. ??? :: shrugs ::
Nice job, mangxt!

Subject: [flexcoders] 1st App - Questions
Well, I
fumbled my way through the help docs and put together a pretty coo lil'
app (for my first one at least; file attached).I couldn't think of
anything useful to do so I looked at the samples and saw the Blog
Reader. So, I figured I'd read the MXNA feeds and display them. If
someone could critique the app and let me know how everything looks
that'd be great. I wanna learn how to do things right from jump.
Being I went
through the entire process I now have some questions about
functionality.
Questions:
1) Without
using ActionScript, can I make text in a TextArea clickable?
Code
excerpt
-
mx:TextArea x="0" y="0"
text="{info.selectedItem.link}newline{info.selectedItem.excerpt}"
width="100%" height="100%"
editable="false"/
-
How can I make the info.selectedItem.link a link?
2) How can I get the NetConnection Debugger open? Do I
need to import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebugger?
3) Is there a way to take an object (Array or
RecordSet) and make that a Tree's dataProvider without XML'ing it up? I
saw a few posts in here about it but not sure if they answered it (brief
looks).
Ex -
function blah(result){
myTree.labelField =
"name";
myTree.dataProvider =
result;
}
I'm not sure if labelField is an option but Idid see
earlier setting the dataProvider worked but everything was merely an
item and I had no control over the folders. What I would really be doing
is this:
function blah(result){
var len:Number =
result.length;
for(var i:Number = 0; i
len; i++){
result.items[i].posts =
mxnaCFC.getFeedsByCategory(result.items[i].Category);
}
myTree.dataProvider =
result;
}
This
way I would have an object with each feed stored in the respective
category. I may create my own cfc locally to handle this and returnto
Flex but I'd like to know my options.
Well,
it's late and I still gotta bust some suds so I better get off this
thing. :-) Thx all for any responses/time invested in this
post.
Thx!
