[flexcoders] Advanced tooltips

Does anyone know of any Flex component for advanced tooltips? For user interaction, I prefer non-obtrusive tooltips rather than Alert pop-ups but I obviously need more functionality than just text and some basic formatting. There are many such components for HTML/JavaScript but I didn't find

[flexcoders] Data binding inside a repeater

Is it possible to write something like this: mx:Button id=b color=red textRollOverColor={b.getStyle('color')} / inside a repeater? It doesn't work in my case, presumably because of the ID is problematic inside a repeater. Thanks, Borek

[flexcoders] ASDoc for MXML components?

Hi all Is there a way to generate API documentation from MXML components? So far, I thought that MXML and ActionScript are just different ways to express the same things but if I can't generate documentation, this practically means that I can't use MXML for component development at all. I hope

[flexcoders] Re: ASDoc for MXML components?

That's what I did - I searched for *.mxml inside Flex source and the RichTextEditor.mxml is the only component in the whole framework defined in MXML. But to my surprise, there is absolutely no documentation. How did the Flex team worked around this situation? Borek --- In

[flexcoders] Re: ASDoc for MXML components?

Hi Stephen Thanks for your replay, this is what I eventually found in the documentation. Sad that the ASDoc tool fails if the source is defined externally (mx:Script source=... /) - it complains that [public etc.] can only be used inside a package. I will never put my code inside the mx:Script

[flexcoders] Architectural advice - reusable shell

We have several quite complex multi-page forms (separate applications) that share a common shell -- the top area always contains company header, application name, quick help text etc. while the footer always contains back and forward buttons and the buttons for direct access to particular pages.

[flexcoders] Re: Architectural advice - reusable shell

Hi Manish, thanks for your reply. Please see my comments below. Your custom shell can be a subclass of ViewStack itself. You can add the forward-back buttons into the chrome area of the component. I think either Accordion or TabNavigator extends ViewStack, so you can look at how that

[flexcoders] Re: Architectural advice - reusable shell

I've just found another highly interesting option to implement common shell - template components (as described here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/templating_150_2.html). Does anyone have some experience with this? Thanks, Borek

[flexcoders] Multiple sets of visual children workaround?

OK, in my quest for reusable shell ( http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/76641 ) I am now pretty close to what I would like to achieve. I've created template component ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/templating_150_2.html ) which expects ViewStack component in its

[flexcoders] Adding custom styles to MXML component

I'm trying to create a MXML component with custom [Style] defined is mx:Script section. The compiler is complaining that [Style] must annotate a class. I understand this message and I see where the problem is but I don't know how to overcome it. Any advice? Thanks, Borek

[flexcoders] Really complex buttons (aka what WPF got right)

Hi, I'm still learning Flex and during the last few hours, I've been struggling with some button-related problems. I am trying to create a button which contains not only label and icon but any arbitrary contents. If Flex was WPF, you could do something like mx:Button mx:VBox mx:Label ...

[flexcoders] Re: Really complex buttons (aka what WPF got right)

Doug, this is extremely cool. It looks like this is exactly what I'm after. I hope this will solve the issues with TabNavigator (or TabBar) as well -- I will have to check on Monday when I'm back in work. I will add some more thoughts as a response to Ely's post. Thank you so much, I feel you

[flexcoders] Forms advantages

Hi, I'm new to Flex and wanted to ask a beginner's question - what are the pros and cons of using mx:Form versus the set of input fields, labels etc.? I like the required=true functionality but on the other hand, layout possibilities are somehow limited (the form is always one column only, what
