[flexcoders] DataGrid vs List ?

Hi, Just curious... But why would you use a List control when you can use a DataGrid with one Column? Are there benefits over specifically using a List? It seems that a DG is a List but supports multiple columns... Thanks, Nick

[flexcoders] Re: Problem with BindingUtils.bindProperty

Ok, the property that i'm Binding to must be public, that seems to work and the docs back it up :) On 2 April 2010 23:18, Nick Middleweek n...@middleweek.co.uk wrote: The same goes for ChangeWatcher... I can't do this... ChangeWatcher.watch( this, boolEditableProperty, callback

Do you have a link to this blog though please? I'm still interested in reading through it... I've just googled Andrew Trice BitMapData blog getUIComponentBitmapData but can't find what you've mentioned. Cheers, Nick On 25 March 2010 10:43, bhaq1972 mbha...@hotmail.com wrote: I think i'm

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Pasting an image into an image or bitmap container?

Hi, I think that is only for grabbing the bitmap of a Flex or Air app container. I want the ability for the user to paste any image into the image container. I check out the blog just incase there is some other magic there... Cheers, Nick On 25 March 2010 09:31, bhaq1972 mbha...@hotmail.com

[flexcoders] double check that this Switch statement can't work...

Hi, I was hoping I could use a switch statement to test what Object type is selected on my ADG but I don't think it's possible and need to use an if, else if, chain... if ( orgStructureADG.selectedIndex = 0 ) { switch ( orgStructureADG.selectedItem ) { case VendorCompcodeData:

[flexcoders] Pasting an image into an image or bitmap container?

Hi, Using Flex 3.x, I've done a bit of research and understand that through code, for security reasons I can't access the Clipboard - makes perfect sense. Is there though, a way to allow the user to manually paste an bitmap into an on screen Object so that I can access it as a bitmap or

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Pasting an image into an image or bitmap container?

Hi, I really wanted the user to be able to just paste into Flex and then click send. It's for a tech support system and when ever there are screen errors, they get logged. At the moment they're either pasted in word and word is uploaded or those that know how, paste into MS Paint, save as a JPEG
