[flexcoders] fade from tile view to list view not smooth

2007-10-01 Thread dbronk
I have a viewstack. One one is a tile, the other a datagrid. Both have the same dataprovider. I set each in the viewstack with: showEffect="Fade" hideEffect="Fade". The fade out/in works fine with everything in the view except the text. How come the text in the tile and datagrid does not fade

I'm constructing the boolean as follows: private var includeBase : Boolean = false; Then in my logic to call the filter function I do: includeBase = determineIfBaseNeeded(profile); filterObj.filter(includeBase); The determineIfBaseNeeded is declared as follows: private function determineIfBase

I would also highly debate the fact that a JSP app is web 1.0. I have written some very nice AJAX/JSP apps with full drag/drop, all the coolest widgets, and I would challenge you to without looking at source tell me that it was simply html and javascript. But, with that said, it took probably 20x

Very strange... I had an apparent bug in my code and simply could not find it so I created a very basic function to help test. Here is the code: public function crazy(myBool:Boolean) : void { if ( myBool ) { var s:String; } } Yes, it does nothing. I place a break point on t

[flexcoders] Tile effects and transitions

Very nice indeed! I've always thought the MDI application UI was a lost treasure. I think I have exposed a bug though. Load the example app as normal. Window 2 has focus. Close window 2 and I would expect Window 1 to gain focus. Even after click, clicking and dragging, etc. window 1, it does
