RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Interview Questions
I think giving an example is perfectly fine answer. But in words it would be something like this: You put an event attribute on the component tag. The name of the attribute is the event type the component should listen for. The value of the attribute is the body of the event handler to be executed when it hears that event. The event handler can use an implied argument named 'event' to access the Event instance.

Now AS3 components? I was actually asked this once (someone was actually asking me at work) - but - I didn't really know how to answer the mxml portion - other than to give a code sample... custom:MyComponent eventType=eventHandler() / What WOULD be a better/proper answer for that???

Nick, you make a really good point, and bring up some great questions. -Eric On Feb 7, 2008 2:34 PM, Uber_Nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tom makes a good point. It depends on what kind of skills you want to bring in. ecancil's suggestions are ok if you're looking to do a lot of work with custom components. When getting developers to help create standard application, I'd weigh a lot more heavily on the as3 questions. Aside from basic show me how you'd write X algorithm questions, you can ask more in depth ones about the workings of the language: 1) What's the difference between Java and AS3 getters and setters? 2) Explain how binding works in mxml components. 3) What's the difference between ChangeWatcher.watch, and BindingUtils.bindProperty? 4) Why would you want to keep a reference to a ChangeWatcher and call unwatch()? Architecture 5) How do you add event listeners in mxml components. Now AS3 components? 6) What does calling preventDefault() on an event do? How is this enforced? 7) (If applicable) Explain the lifecycle of a Cairngorm action. More 8) What are some ways to specify styles on components? 9) What is the problem with calling setStyle() 10) Explain the difference between creating an effect and setting the target as opposed to adding an effectListener 11) What do repeater components do? 12) How do you identify a component created in a repeater? I'm sure we can come up with plenty more questions. If you want to know the answers to any, simply ask in the forums. Some of these are more open ended. Also, for hit rate I'd expect and medium-level Flex developer to score maybe a 50% if this was a test graded with partial credit. 80-90%+ for experts. -Nick Matelli Amentra, Inc --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com, Jeffry Houser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd have an easier time answering the questions as you go 'down' the list.
