Ok, so just using a popupmanager, size it to cover the component and
remove it when the loading is done should do the trick?

2007-12-20 Thread Alex Harui 
A mask in Flash is a specific thing that clips the object it masks.  I
think you really want an overlay and PopUpManager is a good way to
overlay things temporarily.  Whether you want it for the datagrid or
other components doesn't matter.  The Alert puts up a transparent blur
over the whole app via PopUpManager.  You can popup some animation in a
similar way at specific sizes and positions.

Because that is not the way I want?

It's not only ment for datagrids, also for components that load data.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Loading mask or overlay for datagrids while loading

2007-12-17 Thread Randy Martin 
Why not a popup with a progressBar? If there's nothing to report progress
on, you can just use a Timer to increment the progress bar and have the
event listener handler get rid of the popup when whatever you're doing is
finished.

How about using PopUpManager to popup something over the datagrid?

Well, for example, using a mask? I know you can put a 'mask' over any
visible object but I don't know how to make a mask which shows a
animated loading swf/image.
