I added the contextMenu to the application and it worked... seems modules need

BTW, will the 3.4 sdk be improved since 4 is already coming out soon.  I would 
hope so, at least for a year or more.  We can't all update to flex4 in at 
Adobe's pace unfortunately, especially for projects we just started a few

[flexcoders] extending tileList - pagination

[grimmwerks]

Hey all - I'm extending tilelist and am displaying a 3x2 grid (6  
items) - I'm trying to see if there's currently a way to display the  
next/previous 6 items - ie paging back and forthrather than just  
scrolling, which will always show some items of the current view  
rather than just 1 item if it's alone on a 'page'.

I figure the easiest thing is to abscond the dataprovider and and  
parse it out internally -- but even looking through TileBase I can't  
quite figure out the best way to grab that...

thougths?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: problem using mx:Glow and mx:Box

[Chet Haase]

Box doesn't have a fill by default, so you're seeing right through the 
container to the background behind it. The glow you're seeing inside the box is 
actually just a general glow around each of the container's elements. You'd get 
the same result with a Canvas, although a Panel has a fillled background and 
doesn't have this effect.

You can get the effect you're looking for by setting a background color on the 
box:

mx:Box height=100 width=200 mouseDownEffect={glowImage} 
backgroundColor=white
 borderColor=black borderStyle=solid

[flexcoders] Re: better option than repeater?

[valdhor]

I don't quite get what you are trying to do.

Create a component. This component will display each staff member. Create a 
public variable to hold each staff record (Value Object) and pass that record 
to the component inside the repeater. The example I posted shows how to do this.

So, there is only one call to the RemoteObject service that returns an array 
collection of staff objects. The data provider of the repeater is set to this 
array collection. As the repeater runs, each instance of the component gets one 
staff record. You use this record to figure out which checkbox is to be set.

An mx:RemoteObject can be used wherever you need it. I have components with 
Remote Objects that are repeated. The first remote object call gets the data 
for each component which then makes its own RO call to get further data if the 
user selects that component. As an example, in your situation, you could have 
each staff member displayed with a button labeled More Info. If a user clicks 
this button the RO in this component will make a call to the server to get more 
info for this staff member.

 I tried setting up a remoteObject inside the custom renderer, but no

 mx:RemoteObject inside a component.  So I put it outside the component,
 but then the script function inside the component didn't seem able to

 pass the resulting list of modules to the component so I can loop
 through it to output all the checkboxes (and for each record check the
 SEQ against the Staff's moduleAccess, which I know how to do).
 
 So the question is - how do call the RO just once and pass the result
 into the component (as an ArrayCollection or something) so I can loop
 over it repeatedly instead of actually calling it and hitting the
 database repeatedly?

[flexcoders] Re: Measuring the width of a label

[valdhor]

The problem you are going to face is that different fonts have different widths 
for different characters. For example, an i is thinner than an o. You could 
try using a fixed width font and then counting characters.

 Hi everyone,
 
 I'm having a problem regarding measuring the width of a Label control.
 In my item renderer, I need to display a list of labels, but the number of 
 labels per row depends on how many of them fit within one row.
 To do that, I need to actually measure the width of the label created prior 
 to being added as a child of my renderer.
 Anyone has any idea how to do that?
 
 I need something like:
 
 var label:Label = new Label();
 label.text = Test label;
 // Then I need to measure the width of the created label.
 
 Cheers and thanks in advance for reading my post.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: better option than repeater?

[Battershall, Jeff]

This would be my approach:

You need two dataProviders (ArrayCollections), one being for the available 
modules and the other for your list of staff. You'd only need two remote 
objects to retrieve them.

Your modules dataprovider would be passed into each component instance and used 
by the component to generate your list of available modules with checkboxes.  

Your repeater is going to accept the staff list dataProvider.  As it loops over 
the ArrayCollection, it will pass the selected modules for a given staff member 
to your checkbox component. It's up to you to write the setter function to pass 
the selected values into your checkbox component and to set the 'selected' 
property of each checkbox accordingly.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: better option than repeater?

I don't quite get what you are trying to do.

Create a component. This component will display each staff member. Create a 
public variable to hold each staff record (Value Object) and pass that record 
to the component inside the repeater. The example I posted shows how to do this.

So, there is only one call to the RemoteObject service that returns an array 
collection of staff objects. The data provider of the repeater is set to this 
array collection. As the repeater runs, each instance of the component gets one 
staff record. You use this record to figure out which checkbox is to be set.

An mx:RemoteObject can be used wherever you need it. I have components with 
Remote Objects that are repeated. The first remote object call gets the data 
for each component which then makes its own RO call to get further data if the 
user selects that component. As an example, in your situation, you could have 
each staff member displayed with a button labeled More Info. If a user clicks 
this button the RO in this component will make a call to the server to get more 
info for this staff member.

[flexcoders] Adding event listeners to the horizontalList items

I added event listeners to each item, I added the items at runtime
to a horizontalList.  But not sure how to invoke the listener
when the individual item is clicked.  I can't define clickFunc because
my dataProvider looks like this:

mx:dataProvider
  mx:ArrayCollection/

[flexcoders] adding event listeners

[flexcoders] Mouse events and overlapping movie clips

[alekseyvays]

If two or move movie clips overlap, everything underneath the top movie clip 
does not seem to receive mouse events. I tried many things, including setting

still eats up all mouse interaction. Is there a way around this? Listening to 
all mouse events and using hitTest is not an option in my case. Please help.

[flexcoders] Loading local SWFs in AIR to local-with-network sandbox

[daniel.langh]

Hello,

I'm trying to load locally stored SWF files from the app-storage directory of 
my AIR application into the local-with-network security sandbox.
Two SWFs are created with -use-network=true and use-network=false compiler 
flags respectively.
However both of them are loaded into the _local-with-file_ security sandbox, 
regardless of the above mentioned compiler flag.
I'm using the default LoaderContext.

Can anybody confirm this as a bug, or suggest a proper way to get things in the 
local-with-network sandbox?

Thanks, Daniel

That's not how list-based components work. You don't add event listeners to 
data items. You listen to events dispatched by the list itself.

What are you trying to accomplish with your event handlers?

[flexcoders] AIR and Right-Click behavior

[grenma]

Folks:


I am writing an AIR app that scripts right-clicking an item renderer in a 
custom component. The mouse event is captured but it seems that the item is 
immediately deselected (as if a context menu or other modal dialog were 
showing) before the event is captured. The cutom component is a Fisheye viewer 
that repositions and scales items on mouseover so any item that is sufficiently 
repostioned during mouseover snaps back to its non-highlighted position 
before event capture and therefore the event's target is incorrect or empty. Is 
there a way to override this behavior in air and maintain the mouseover after a 
right click?


This seems kind of obvious but the docs make no mention as far as I can see.

  Thermometer Component
 I am looking for a component which will reflect a single value like a
 thermometer. Simple feed in the value and display it with updates.
 Any idea where to look or if anyone has one for sale this is for a
 commercial product.
 Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Question about a flex component

[Gordon Smith]

The same way you dispatch any other event: Construct the Event instance, set 
its properties, and then call dispatchEvent() on the object that the event 
should be dispatched from (which generally is 'this'):

var mouseEvent:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN);
mouseEvent.localX = 10;
mouseEvent.localY = 10;
...
someComponent.dispatchEvent(mouseEvent);

RE: [flexcoders] Who can explain me this:

[Gordon Smith]

Because vars like 'a' and 'b', and Array elements like testx[0], store 
references to Objects. They aren't the Objects themselves. You can have many 
references to the same Object.

Initially you have

a -|
   -- { data: 100 }
testx[0] --|

b --- { data: 200 }

When you assign a.data = 1000 you have

a -|
   -- { data: 1000 }
testx[0] --|

b --- { data: 200 }

When you assign a = b, 'a' now points to the same object as 'b', but testx[0] 
continues to point to the same object, so you have

testx[0]  { data: 1000 }

a -|
   -- { data: 200 }
b -|
