[flexcoders] FB3/Eclipse - CSS design view not showing images

2010-04-13 Thread John Robinson
Anyone encounter this? I'm using Eclipse with the Flex Builder 3 plugin. I'm trying to skin a horizontal scrollbar with some images. I just discovered the CSS design view/editor and thought it was exactly what I need. The problem is that I choose my images and hit refresh, but they don't

if you only have to reload the data every 3 minutes, you should be fine using a timer. You won't get the 'script running too long' error as a result of using a timer. That error happens basically when code takes too long to process or goes into an infinite loop. john On Apr 21, 2009,

Yeah, I've been directly updating the properties. Here's the weird part... if I use the ArrayCollection as a dataProvider for a List control, it updates. If I use it for a custom control that I've created, it does not. Example: This works as expected: mx:List dataProvider={model.users}/

Flex doesn't have any output formats or any of this functionality built in. I'd say build your front end in Flex, but continue to use CF for your file output. Simply send your data to a CFC that does the conversion and then allow the user to download (or whatever) the outputted file.
