Re: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

This type of issue used to get me all the time with the classic Flex SDK. I'd have some subclass of Panel or something, but I'd have some kind of selectedItem property on it that dispatched Event.CHANGE. If I had a child that was a Slider or something, the slider's Event.CHANGE would bubble, and

Re: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

I think we can use setParentTarget to get bubbling to work reliably with custom events, but as Peter said, I don't think we want to set up parentTarget's just-in-case. Bubbling custom events is not a recommended practice as was mentioned in some other thread recently. Imagine if you had a Panel

Re: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

I needed events to bubble for the drag and drop work. While that was fine for the Flash Player, the FlexJS/Google/Browser event mix didn't work. Alex suggested I used setParentTarget on the event to work up the tree and then the event would be dispatched at each level, thus mimicking bubbling. I

Re: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

Hi Yishay, That's a good point - Application is itself an IPopupHost. I've asked him what is the use case for his host popup search. Thanks, Piotr - Apache Flex PMC piotrzarzyck...@gmail.com -- View this message in context:

RE: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

I think there’s confusion over what a popup host is. A popup host is where you would add an IPopUp. UIUtils.findPopUpHost(myComp as IUIBase) finds the closest ancestor for myComp to which a popup can be added. These lines from ComboBoxView demonstrate the usage: var
