Maybe I wasn’t clear. You will still be using ArrayCollection, but the items in the collection will be ValueObjects or data class instances instead of Objects or XML nodes. Properly written ValueObjects are faster than Objects and much faster than XML nodes for each property you access. If

Hi Jeff, We are talking about Flex, not about the Creative Suite, right? What about Flex Builder for Linux? Stability of the platform? Performance issues? Debugging tools? Bugs fixed? AIR? Personally I don't understand the value of AIR as soon as can't talk to the hardware. Walter, what's the

Hehe, I still think that ActiveX was a better idea :) I was against that technology once, but here's my way of how I learned to understand the intention of it and why do I think it wasn't that bad: VIM (a code editor) may be compiled on windows, although it's a console application, so far gVIM

A very confusing situation here... Here's the code: private function fr_selectHandler(e:Event):Void { var fr:FileReference = cast e.target; var name:String = ; var where:String = ; this._queve.push(fr); fr.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, this.fr_progressHandler);

[flexcoders] Bindable metadata tag event name

2010-05-01 Thread sasuke
Hi folks, The Bindable metadata tag allows an optional event name to be specified which would be event name that would be dispatched when the property in consideration changes. I've read somewhere that specifying a distinct event name for each bindable property reduces the performance overhead

I've never looked at the implementation. When I do this, I create a custom getter and setter: [Bindable(fooChanged)] public function get foo():Boolean { return _foo; } public function set foo(value:Boolean):void { if (value != _foo) { _foo = value; dispatchEvent(new Event(fooChanged))

Hi, Yes, even I've done that. But my main gripe is that when you have a Bindable tag with your custom event name, is it not possible to use it directly with any custom/built-in flex control? [Bindable(myEvent)] private var txt:String = HI; mx:Text text={txt} / // is this not possible if I use
