[flexcoders] Re: Can't find bug in this piece of ActionScript
Hi,
I dont think it does, I could be wrong, but I want to set the
selectedIndex equal to the employeeStateId so if the employee has a
stateId of say 3 for Arizona or whatever, I want the selectedIndex to
be 3.
Unless I am missing something.

Ah sorry, i haven't read the text ;)
What if you try it like that:
var selectedIndex : int = 0;
for ( var i:int=0; i stateCB.dataProvider.length; i++ ) {
if( employeeStateId == stateCB.dataProvider[i].stateId ) {
selectedIndex = employeeStateId ;

stateCB.selectedIndex = selectedIndex;

[flexcoders] Re: Can't find bug in this piece of ActionScript
Hi,
The code works the first time around. First time around meaning click
an employee from the datagrid and the screen changes to a detail view of
that employee.
For some reason every user I bring up after the first user has the same
State (Arizona) for example selected thereafter. The first time
around it works, but then when I go back to the employee list screen,
and click a different employee, the detail form populates with all the
right info like (firstName, lastName, email, city, zip), but the state
drop down has the value of the state the other user is associated with
(Arizona).
Its as if the code runs correctly once but when you click a different
user the approriate state does not load, it just has the value from the
prior user. Almost as if once the code runs once, and its being cached
or something. All the other fields load correctly as I view each users
detail view.
I hope I am making sense.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Can't find bug in this piece of ActionScript
That's probably because the creationComplete event is called just once.
What if you use binding instead?
selectedIndex={ getStateIndex( *employeeStateId:Number, dataProvider:Array*) }
Cheers,
Ralf.

[flexcoders] Re: Can't find bug in this piece of ActionScript
Hi,
I am new to actionscript and not quite sure how to implement that
solution you suggested. It looks like the way to go because I do want
to always have the right state selected when the detail screen first
loads so I presume that is where the binding kicks in.
Here is what I did in the code which I think is wrong how I am
referencing the array in the parameter
public function getStateIndex(employeeStateId:Number,
model.employeeProfileArray[0]:Array):void {
var selectedIndex : int = 0;
for ( var i:int=0; i stateCB.dataProvider.length; i++ )
{
if( getStateIndex(employeeStateId:==
stateCB.dataProvider[i].stateId ) {
selectedIndex = getStateIndex(employeeStateId:;
}
}
stateCB.selectedIndex = selectedIndex;
comp:StateCombo id=stateCB selectedIndex={ getStateIndex(
employeeStateId:Number, model.employeeProfileArray[0]:Array ) }
dataProvider={model.stateList} labelField=stateName/
I am using Cairngorm 2.1 and it is actually working pretty well for me,
so is there a way to elegantly bind this to the ModelLocator? The array
is bound to the ModelLocator

[flexcoders] Re: Can't find bug in this piece of ActionScript
Hi,
The bug is that you are continuing through the loop even after you have
found the employeeStateId you are looking for. What you really want is
something like:
...
if( employeeStateId == stateCB.dataProvider[i].stateId ) {
stateCB.selectedIndex = employeeStateId ;
return;
}
...
Also, your code is a little inefficient in that it sets the
selectedIndex to 0 for every item that is *not* the value you are
looking for, instead of setting it to 0 once if the value is not found.
HTH,
Doug

Hi,
Thanks for all the help. It works now. The latest snippet you provided
did the trick. Its nice when it works... Thanks Ralf!
