[flexcoders] storing login data from a cfquery for use throught flex app
hi i got a login form in flex with a coldfusion backend and it work's perfectly but i need it to go one step further. store login data form the cfquery so that it can be reused throughout the flex app. here is a senario. the login form has a username and password textinput fields which are validated using a remote object call to a cfc that queries a db table with username, password and email fields. now when login is successful i would like to store the data returned from the cfc including email for use throughout my application. please help me out here. thanks

[flexcoders] Re: storing login data from a cfquery for use throught flex app
This can be done fairly simply using an oop approach.
With out going into to much detail. You can create a single instance of a
storage class that gets/sets the data that you are looking for.
Here is a really basic example:
package com.login{
// do some imports
public class myLogin{
private var username:string = new String();
private var email:string = new String();
public function myLogin(){
// do some constructor stuff here
}
public function getUsername():String{
return username;
}
public function getEmail():String{
return email;
}
public function setUsername(username:string):void{
// set your username
}
public function setEmail(email:string):void{
// set your email
}
}
}
So when you first instantiate your class you set the username/email. Then all
you will need to do is use getUsername/getEmail to retrieve the data that you
are looking for.
One last point make sure you that only instantiate the myLogin class once.

I have images displayed in a Tile container. I want to implement a page-wise scrolling effect on this container. If this is possible, how is it done? For example, if 10 images are viewable for a given height and width of the Tile container, the scrolling effect should be such that, the next set of 10 images are displayed. And also, the scrolling must be smooth, and be able to take Easing effects.

Hi Wally,
sorry I missed the hierarchy there. You have checkSingle on the module
and not the Viewstack. In that case, you should be able to do
parent.parent.checkSingle and leave out the cast as test1. So
public var testMod:Object = parent.parent;
The last one failed because it was trying to convert a viewstack into a
test1 which of course isn't a viewstack. But I'm not sure about this
one because the parent.parent is a module. You could also forgo using
the testMod variable and in your click declaration instead of
click=testMod.checkSingle(group1.selectedValue)
use
click=parent.parent.checkSingle(group1.selectedValue) /
Hopefully that'll work for you.
If you have a little time to invest, and if you may be doing more Flex
apps in the future, even though this one is not going to be a full-on
huge app, I'd learn about dispatching custom events. It's not that
complicated but it takes some time to understand. It would save some of
the hassle you're trying to do of course at the expense of a new and
different kind of hassle. :-)

If I am understanding your code correctly, you actually want to
call
test1(parent).checkSingle instead of testMod. The reason is
because you
are instantiating a brand new, and unrelated, test1 component with
public var testMod:test1 = new test1();
You might be able to do
public var testMod:test1 = test1(parent);
casting the variable to the type test1.
If it's a simple app you are working on, you can do this kind of
tightly
coupled design. By that I mean, your question1 component knows about
your test1 component. If it's a more complex app though, you may want
to
look at decoupling your app. Otherwise this app will quickly become
inflexible and harder to maintain as it grows.
In this case, you could set up your question components to dispatch an
event that your test1 then listens to. That way question1 doesn't have
to be directly connected to parent.
I hope that makes sense!

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3 Tree - Moving Nodes
I have done something similar lately except for the spring loaded opening mechanism. The problem that I saw with Alex Harui's approach was that you had to turn a leaf into a branch before being able to drop a node on it. That impacts the icons that represent the nodes and I still wanted a leaf node to be represented with a leaf icon up to the point where it contains children. If all your nodes (leaf or branch) have the same icon, then you could make all the nodes branches through a custom ITreeDataDescriptor. You'll have to live with having the small arrow to the left on every node. What I finally did was to overload some tree methods. If the drag drop is over the bottom half portion of a node, I highlight it and rewrite the parent and rowIndex properties of the _dropData property. That works well. You could extend the logic to open up the folder after the drop and add a spring loaded opening mechanism. I'm attaching some code but I had to clean it up to remove proprietary information. Not sure if it still compiles but that's a starting point :-) Hope it helps! TreeEx.as Description: TreeEx.as
Re: [flexcoders] Moving a viewStack through actionscript
Sorry to be a pain, but when I added the
parent.parent.checkSingle() it gives me an error.
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method checkSingle through a reference with
static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.
I though my problem was the 'public var testMod:test1 = new test1();', thinking
the 'new test1()' was the problem. So I removed it and just set it to a local
variable.
public var testMod:test1; I was able to see the checkSingle
method in the auto hinting. But when I try to run it now, I get that the
testMod is null.
If I were to do the dispatchEvent route, I would have to attach it to the test1
module, right? this.addEventListener(answered, checkSingle);. How could I
get the variable passed from the components (questions) to the module's
checkSingle() method? There will be between 20-100 of these questions.

RE: [flexcoders] Moving a viewStack through actionscript
Put the change handler on the RadioButton group, and in that handler
dispatch your specially named, bubbling event. In the handler for that
event, you can access the dispatching component through the reference in the
target or currentTarget property. So you can access the value of the
RadioButtonGroup through that reference.

Hi Wally, sorry I missed the hierarchy there. You have checkSingle on the
module and not the Viewstack. In that case, you should be able to do
parent.parent.checkSingle and leave out the cast as test1. So
public var testMod:Object = parent.parent;
The last one failed because it was trying to convert a viewstack into a
test1 which of course isn't a viewstack. But I'm not sure about this one
because the parent.parent is a module. You could also forgo using the
testMod variable and in your click declaration instead of
click=testMod.checkSingle(group1.selectedValue)
use
click=parent.parent.checkSingle(group1.selectedValue) /
Hopefully that'll work for you.
If you have a little time to invest, and if you may be doing more Flex apps
in the future, even though this one is not going to be a full-on huge app,
I'd learn about dispatching custom events. It's not that complicated but it
takes some time to understand. It would save some of the hassle you're
trying to do of course at the expense of a new and different kind of hassle.

If I am understanding your code correctly, you actually want to call
test1(parent).checkSingle instead of testMod. The reason is because you
are instantiating a brand new, and unrelated, test1 component with
public var testMod:test1 = new test1();
You might be able to do
public var testMod:test1 = test1(parent);
casting the variable to the type test1.
If it's a simple app you are working on, you can do this kind of tightly
coupled design. By that I mean, your question1 component knows about
your test1 component. If it's a more complex app though, you may want to
look at decoupling your app. Otherwise this app will quickly become
inflexible and harder to maintain as it grows.
In this case, you could set up your question components to dispatch an
event that your test1 then listens to.

[flexcoders] Trying to compile app with 3.2 Flex SDK, but it includes the 3.1 Flex librares.
Hello All, Recently, we've started the process of trying to upgrade the SDK in which we compile our project from a patched version of the 3.0 branch (there were nightly bug fixes with Web SErvices that we needed) to the latest and greatest 3.2. In Flex Builder 3.02, I've set in the Properties editor to use the Flex 3.2 SDK. However, when I compile and build, the framework_3.1.0.2710.swf is thrown in the bin-debug directory. How can I tell which real version of the SDK my project was compiled with to ensure RSL compatability? Also, any insight as to why FB is using the 3.1 SWF and SWZ files would be helpful. Thanks,
RE: [flexcoders] flash 10 3D
I've not managed to rotate a Box on some arbitrary point. If anyone knows how to do this, that would be great. What I've tried so far to get it to rotate on its Y axis in the middle of the Box. myBox.appendTranslation( -(theBox.width/2), 0, 0); myBox.appendRotation(angleToRotate, Vector3D.Y_AXIS); myBox.appendTranslation( (theBox.width/2), 0, 0); This does not work, it always rotates around its registration point, no matter what the translation values are. I've tried various combinations of prepend append, I've tried quite a few variations including adding a point for the third parameter on the appendRotation but the only way I've managed to get it to rotate correctly is if the Box is positioned at (0, 0, 0) inside the application. So I tried changing the x, y z of the box then doing the rotation and then resetting the x, y z but still didn't work. I tried changing the translation to translate the box's width/2 and what its x coord was but again no joy. Anyone any ideas. Cheers Kenneth.

I don't know if this is your problem but one thing I noticed is youu have an
ambiguous set of your enabled property. You have
enabled = enabled;
which (I assume) is to set the enabled property of your class to the enabled
parameter that is passed in. This won't work. You should have
this.enabled = enabled;
or change one of the parameter names.

I have a strange issue with data binding not updating when an item in

Hi People Maybe someone could remind me, I've done this before but apparently now have so much knowledge in my brain that the old stuff is getting pushed out : ) I have a ComboBox itemEditor in a datagrid. The datagrid dataprovider is bound to an arrayCollection which among other things contains the values that are identified as code in the comboBox. When the remote data comes in, the comboBox is displaying the code value rather than the label value. When I click the comboBox, my label property is found and the combobox correctly displays the label for the underlying code. So the issue is, when the combobox first gets the data, it needs to run the label displaying code, and it isn't. What am I forgetting? and... thanks!

Look into the singleton data model. In such a case, you would do:

2.In the target module, text={ MyModel.getInstance().id }
3.Or use a changeWatcher if you need to take programmatic action when

thanks for the reply..
For Guy Morton...
i've read it but modules are created at runtime so i would have a
maneger that controls communication over modules.is it true?
For Alex Harui
how can i achieve the commuication between modules..for example a
module dispatch an event...the event is catch by a manager and then
fires to the rigth destination. ..rember that i have an
application. ..it contains panels and each panel could contain a
module...
thanks again

thanks all,
but is there a simple manner to achieve module to module communication?
suppose this scenario:
i've a module within a panel. it contains a textinput...it fires a
custom event when the user clicks a button..the event contains an id
number..an other modules is listen for this event, catchs it at then
update itself depending on passed id...
thanks again
Regards Lorenzo
is it possible to use localconnection among modules or is a bad way to
achieve module to module communication?
hi Tracy,
i've read your last response...
can you explain me the third option:
Use a changeWatcher if you need to take programmatic action when
id changes.
thanks in advance

[flexcoders] How to do images inside of a textarea using htmlText?

Instead of the text [First Name], I want the image placed there... any ideas? Thanks!
[flexcoders] Flex ajax bridge in IE without document.write()
Hi,
I'm trying to embed a flex swf into my app without using document.write().
Instead I want to use the standard Ajax technique of setting the innerHTML
property on a div object, like so:
varflexObjTag =AC_FL_RunContent(...args...);
$('flexDiv').innerHTML = flashObjTag;
To do this, I modified these functions from AC_OETags.js like so:
function AC_Generateobj(objAttrs, params, embedAttrs)
{
var str = '';
if (isIE isWin !isOpera)
{
str +='object ';
for (var i in objAttrs)
str += i + '=' + objAttrs[i] + ' ';
str += '';
for (var i in params)
str +='param name='+i +' value='+params[i]+' / ';
str +='/object';
} else {
str += 'embed ';
for (var i in embedAttrs)
str += i + '=' + embedAttrs[i] + ' ';
str +=' /embed';
}
return str;
}
function AC_FL_RunContent(){
var ret =
AC_GetArgs
( arguments,.swf,movie,clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-44455354
,application/x-shockwave-flash
);
return AC_Generateobj(ret.objAttrs, ret.params, ret.embedAttrs);
}
This works fine in Firefox and Safari, but not in IE7. I'm getting the
following error:
try {
document.getElementById(graph_div).SetReturnValue(__flash__toXML(FABridge__bridgeInitialized([flash]))
); } catch (e) {
document.getElementById(graph_div).SetReturnValue(undefined/); }
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[flexcoders] Re: first user tab is slow
We will run the profiler to see. We have a very large, form based app, so there may be something there. It can sometimes take up to 3 - 4 seconds to tab to the second form field. Some questions: 1.

[flexcoders] Re: How to stop null on delayed execution.
The problem is that you are instantiating your SimpleExample object and
then trying to modify a component of the object before it is created.
You would need to move the instantiation of TextInput to the constructor
or instantiate it when you create the variable...

import mx.controls.TextInput;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
public class SimpleExample extends VBox

Like growl, I wanted to bring out a number of rectangular notification windows that fade out after some time. There are 3 ways I can see this being accomplished: 1) Open new NativeWindow for each notification 2) Open one transparent nativeWindow add children to it calculate its size based on the number of children being added (notifications), and then place the window appropriately on the screen's edge 3) Open one transparent nativeWindow to the size of the screen (resolution), and add notifications to its right edge. Is there one implementation over another that may have better performance ? #2 seems it may since it creates one native window of the exact size it needs, but its the most work. Any thoughts ?

Hi Wesley,
Controls and Containers all extend UIComponent. For your case, take a

[flexcoders] EnterFrame listener removed when dragged off screen
So I have several sprites within a component on the stage (Flex appliation level actually). I have a custom factory component on the main stage that builds popups if one of the sprites is clicked, yes I have to have it this way due to the library I am using. Anyway, I have an EnterFrame listener on the sprite that sends the sprites x,y coord so that the popups will stay on top off the draggable sprites. But if the sprite is dragged off screen for just a second the popup loses track of the sprite or the enterframe seems to be killed, as the popup no longer follows the sprite. I know that the the sprite once dragged off screen dispatches an Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, which makes me think that when dragged off stage, the sprite drops all listeners. Wondering if there is a way to stop this from happening? TIA.

Everything seems to work swimmingly. I have found that in some cases
however, the tab key (tab index order) handling gets messed up. Because
of the poor tab handling design in flex, the method that we use to
control the tab order is by placing the fields in the order in the mxml
file that we want. This seems to work most of the time.
I have found that on forms where the custom datefield components are in
a TabNavigator canvas that the ValidatedDateField() that I have created
will cause the tab order to break. In one case it causes the focus to go
to a dataGrid in another container above the one the
ValidatedDateField() is in. My best guess is that it causes the next
field to be the first editable field within the TabNavigator canvas that
the datefield is in.
If I make the field editable=false, the tabbing seems to work fine
irrespective of the TabNavigator.
My conclusion is that when the custom TextInput portion of the
DateField gets instantsiated the tab order gets hosed.
I have looked through the code for the ComboBase and DateField to see if
I can tell where the tab order gets defined and I can't see it. I saw a
line that says;
textInput.parentDrawsFocus = true;
and thought that might have something to do with it, but I can't
replicate that in my code, I get an inaccessible error.
If my assumption that I am not creating the textInput component
correctly is true, the question is;
How can I ensure that the custom textInput component portion of my
DateField component gets the same tab order as the DateField itself?
Here is the creatChildren method of the custom DateField Component;
override protected function createChildren():void {
super.createChildren();removeChild(textInput);
if(this.textInput){ // Use ValidatedTextInput instead of TextInput
and Setup various fields //needed by ValidatedTextInput
textInput = new ValidatedTextInput(); textInput[dataType] =
date; textInput[formatter] = _dateFormat;
textInput[minDataChars] = _minDataChars; textInput[maxDataChars]
= _maxDataChars; textInput[minValue] = _minValue;
textInput[maxValue] = _maxValue; textInput[id] = vti +
this.id; textInput[rootOwner] = this.parent;
textInput[charactersAlsoPermitted] = _charactersAlsoPermitted;
textInput[formatData] = _formatData; textInput[doValidateData] =
_doValidateData; textInput[defaultValue] = _defaultValue;
textInput.addEventListener(focusOut,updateTextValue)
textInput.addEventListener(textChanged,updateTextValue)
addChild(textInput);} }
Since the application that I am working on contains a number of heads
down data entry environments, this is a critical issue for me.
All help is greatly appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] calling a function from swf
This is pretty straightforward. We do a lot of this in our dashboard app
where we have a function called registerSWF(). This helps us keep tabs
on all the swf objects that are loaded on the dash.
private var registeredSWF:ArrayCollection = new
ArrayCollection();
public function registerSWF(swf:Object):void
{
registeredSWF.addItem(swf);
}
Each child swf calls this functions when they load:
application.registerSWF(this);
Then, when we need to access a function from within the child swf, we
pull it from the AC (so we can reference it) and directly call the function:
for each (var swf:Object in registeredSWF)
{
swf.someFunction(vars);
}
Keep in mind that the function in your child swf must be in the public
scope or the parent app cannot see it.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to stop null on delayed execution.
Because of a visual components life cycle mainly. If I was to write an application in actionscript (asside from the root mxml file - I don't think you can do that in AS) all visual components would be initialised immediatly. Lazy loading is also used quite commonly as an OOP pattern. Also constructor initialisation falls out of grace, (I think) with stuff like spring in java as it doesn't allow well for dependency injection. Finally Its just nice for people using your custom components if they act like other components. It means less to learn. These are just opinions though I have mostly been writing my code in the same way as you gave in the example. i.e. private var someVar:someClass = new someClass(); Thanks for your help too though. I did change my real class *not* the simplified example to do that when I got your reply as I needed to get it working quickly.

Hi John,
I seem to remember that XMLList, like Array, isn't Bindable and
doesn't
dispatch a propertyChange event. You might try changing the public var
to a getter/setter and manually dispatching the event, or change the
XMLList to Object; to see if it makes a difference. This is just a
shot
in the dark, but let us know if it helps.

How do you update a given UserVO's userData? Do you directly access the

I have never done it this way - I use getters and setters...

{
_id = id;
_username = username;
_enabled = enabled;
_userData = userData;
}
//accessor methods
public function get id():int {return _id;}
public function get username():String {return _username;}
public function get enabled():Boolean {return _enabled;}
public function get userData():XMLList {return _userData;}
//mutator methods
public function set id(id:int):void {_id = id;}
public function set username(username:String):void {_username =

[flexcoders] Building Custom ActionScript Components with Skins
So I am trying to build out a custom SimpleMp3player component. Here is a screen shot of what the current design for this looks like: http://storage.duromedia.com/mp3_player_ui.jpg I want to create a custom component that will contain all the functionality that the above UI illustrates, but I want to make the component as easily skinable for the future as possible. Preferably skinable by a designer, and not a developer. I have considered a few routes. 1) The one I am most comfortable with is building a custom component with the Flash IDE, and custom AS3 classes, then export out using the Flex Component Kit. As far as I can see, the draw back to that is the skin has to be customized using the Flash IDE from then on out. 2) The other route I considered was building the whole thing in Flex, and using a style attribute to feed in a SWF based skin file. This is something I'm starting to get more familiar with, but I'm still a long ways off from mastering the art of pure Flex custom components. First off, if anyone has any opinions on which of the above two routes would be best, please speak up. If there are other routes to take, do tell. Second, If anyone has any good resources (besides the Flex 3 LiveDocs) on building out custom components that utilize Skins as outlined in option 2, please pass those along. Third, if anyone feels like tackling any of these specific questions, I would love some help: - When creating a skinnable ActionScript component, do I have to create a style property for each UI element? (ie. playButtonUp, playButtonDown, seekBarTrack, seekBar, etc.) - Can I use the skin file to put together the layout of the component, or do I have to do that programatically with ActionScript? I would love if I could do a layout in Illustrator that had all the elements of the MusicPlayer component positioned where I want them, and then feed in a single Symbol (containing the other symbols) so that the UI component maintained the layout as it was set in Illustrator. Any help with any of the above would be met with great appreciation. Best, Adam Duro DuroMedia: Web Developer W: www.duromedia.com
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Turn all keyboard input into upper-case for all TextInput and TextArea
In a handler for the 'textInput' event, set event.text = event.text.toUpperCase().

Okay, that explains why dispatching KeyboardEvent on TextField and TextEvent on TextInput doesn't work :-( Most brute force way is to set text to toUpperCase on the change event. Could be slow on large strings and you may have to track and restore selection. We got something near working with this approach, but yes, it resets selection, puts cursor in front of text etc. All things we will need to track and change then. Any other good ideas out there?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Using icons on buttons?
If you have the Flash IDE and flex component kit installed, there are templates for skinning. There is one specific for the button. You can skin in flash with full control of the look you want, then export as swc. In flex open your css file in design mode and with the tools at the top you can add a new class. Create a new one based on the Button and in the right tabs you can change the skin with the swc you created from flash... Alternatly you can create images for each state and do the same as described above in Flex, but instead of selecting your swc you can select the images you created for each state...

[flexcoders] Re: Problem with custom component tabbing in TabNavigator
Well it appears that after rooting around for hours, I found that setting
FocusEnabled to false on the textInput object fixed everything up.
Paul
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, aceoohay pa...@... wrote:
I have created an extension of the DateField() (ValidatedDateField())
component. The main purpose of this extension is to call an extension to
the TextInput component.
Everything seems to work swimmingly. I have found that in some cases
however, the tab key (tab index order) handling gets messed up. Because
of the poor tab handling design in flex, the method that we use to
control the tab order is by placing the fields in the order in the mxml
file that we want. This seems to work most of the time.
I have found that on forms where the custom datefield components are in
a TabNavigator canvas that the ValidatedDateField() that I have created
will cause the tab order to break. In one case it causes the focus to go
to a dataGrid in another container above the one the
ValidatedDateField() is in. My best guess is that it causes the next
field to be the first editable field within the TabNavigator canvas that
the datefield is in.
If I make the field editable=false, the tabbing seems to work fine
irrespective of the TabNavigator.
My conclusion is that when the custom TextInput portion of the
DateField gets instantsiated the tab order gets hosed.
I have looked through the code for the ComboBase and DateField to see if
I can tell where the tab order gets defined and I can't see it. I saw a
line that says;
textInput.parentDrawsFocus = true;
and thought that might have something to do with it, but I can't
replicate that in my code, I get an inaccessible error.
If my assumption that I am not creating the textInput component
correctly is true, the question is;
How can I ensure that the custom textInput component portion of my
DateField component gets the same tab order as the DateField itself?
Here is the creatChildren method of the custom DateField Component;
override protected function createChildren():void {
super.createChildren();removeChild(textInput);
if(this.textInput){ // Use ValidatedTextInput instead of TextInput
and Setup various fields //needed by ValidatedTextInput
textInput = new ValidatedTextInput(); textInput[dataType] =
date; textInput[formatter] = _dateFormat;
textInput[minDataChars] = _minDataChars; textInput[maxDataChars]
= _maxDataChars; textInput[minValue] = _minValue;
textInput[maxValue] = _maxValue; textInput[id] = vti +
this.id; textInput[rootOwner] = this.parent;
textInput[charactersAlsoPermitted] = _charactersAlsoPermitted;
textInput[formatData] = _formatData; textInput[doValidateData] =
_doValidateData; textInput[defaultValue] = _defaultValue;
textInput.addEventListener(focusOut,updateTextValue)
textInput.addEventListener(textChanged,updateTextValue)
addChild(textInput);} }
Since the application that I am working on contains a number of heads
down data entry environments, this is a critical issue for me.
All help is greatly appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: comboBox in datagrid
No, you shouldn't have to do anything like that. Normal behavior for a
combo box is to display nothing until a user interacts with it, selectedItem
is null and selectedindex is -1. If yours is doing something else then
there is code doing it. Is it a stock ComboBox? It sounds like someone has
overridden the internal text field.
Or ha, there is a prompt specified that is a code value.

[flexcoders] FocusManager fun... Tab Loops redux
In reading the page; http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/managers/FocusManager.html It seems like just the right tool to handle a major deficiency in Flex. Basically the inability to create tab loops for containers. I use a somewhat modified version of the SuperPanel component which is an extension of the panel component for all of the data entry forms in my application. I envisioned creating a FocusManager in the SuperPanel, and viola I would have a custom tab loop for each of my data entry screens. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple (it seldom is). I added a private variable to the component of the type FocusManager. Flex of course wants to add mx.managers.FocusManager, and we probably want fl.managers.FocusManager the flash version, since the mx version generates 2025 RT errors anytime you click on any object in the container that is assigned to a separate/custom focusmanager. The full error is; Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. So has anyone else tried to create a flex component with a separate tab loop, if so how did you make it work? Has anyone worked with the fl.managers.FocusManager component? Is it the same as the mx.managers.FocusManager? Is it possible to get either one to do what I want? Which is to encapsulate a tab loop with in a container. How? Paul

RE: [flexcoders] Re: comboBox in datagrid
I think we need to see some code, like how the renderer is set up. A combobox

why itemToLabel and the labelFunction didn't do its thing.

[flexcoders] Component with Text and Image in sameline
Hello All,
Want to make a component in Flex 3:
Here is the specification of the application –
1. We need to develop a windows/web application in which we want to
have a component which can accommodate images in line with the text.
2. We can move/drag the images/text in that component using mouse. The
text or images adjust themselves inline while moving.
3. We can cut / copy / paste the text not the images.
4. We can also write text in between the images.
5. You have to use the following XML to load this component. You can
have the images where you will find the braces. You have to use different
images for {0} and {1}.
@xml version=”1.0” encoding=”utf-8” ?
text
This is {0} a windows application {1} in which we want to have text between
the images
text
/xml
Any Help would be appriciate.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: comboBox in datagrid
I'd lost track that we were in a renderer.
But even in a renderer, correct me if I am wrong, a Combo box can only set
its selectedItem under two conditions, one being the dataProvider items are
primitive values, the second being the item assigned is a reference to the
item in the combo's dataProvider. Neither is the case here, so we couldn't
expect the combo to set itself correctly.
Whatever, we need to see some code.

If you upgraded to the regular version, then you can fix the problem by downloading one of the debugger versions from http://www.adobe. http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html. com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html. reflexactions wrote: I upgraded to the new flash player earlier today and now I cant debug in FB. I have tried everything including uninstalling the FPlayer using the uninstall tool, reboot, install debug player, run from FB (standalone), IE8 opens with the app but FB says still waiting for the player to connect. I used netstat -a and FB is listening on port 7935, but the app wont connect, even if I try to manually force it by using the context menu it won't connect. I have tried down grading but that doesnt work I cant find anything to get back to debugging and its a problem 'cos I cant work at all.
