[flexcoders] DYNAMIC actionscript child layout.
Hi everyone, when I create my layout with mxml components, my layout is dynamic. If I resize my browser window, my components are also resized. How can I achieve this in actionscript using addChild??? var Layout:Canvas = new Canvas(); graphLayout.width=testlayout.width/2; graphLayout.height=testlayout.width/2; layout_graphs.addChild(graphLayout); testlayout is my vbox that will be parent to the canvas. Thanks.
[flexcoders] Re: Help Me for SharedObject and registerClassAlias method
I don't think you can do that. A SharedObject is just an object. What
you would need to do is put the WindowInfo objects you want to store
into an array and store the array in the SharedObject. When you want
to retrieve the WindowInfo objects, read them into an array and coerce
each array item into a WindowInfo object.

Hi,
i've yet posted this question but i can't resolve this problem..
i've created a custom value object class..a simple class with private
properties and getters methods to retrieve them.
public class WindowInfo
{
private var _id:String;
private var _module:String
private var _xpos:int;
private var _ypos:int;
private var _width:int;
private var _height:int;
public function WindowInfo(id:String, module:String, xpos:int,
ypos:int, width:int, height:int)
{
this._id = id;
this._module = module;
this._xpos = xpos;
this._ypos = ypos;
this._width = width;
this._height = height;
}
public function get id():String {
return _id;
}
public function get module():String {
return _module;
}
public function get xpos():int {
return _xpos;
}
public function get ypos():int {
return _ypos;
}
public function get width():int {
return _width;
}
public function get height():int {
return _height;
}
}
then i created an array collection where each item is an istance of
value object.
then i have a shared object manager that looks like this:
package util{
import flash.net.SharedObject;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
public class SharedObjectApplicationManager {
private var mySO:SharedObject;
private var ac:ArrayCollection;
private var lsoType:String;
public function SharedObjectApplicationManager(s:String) {
init(s);
}
private function init(s:String):void {
mySO = SharedObject.getLocal(s);
if (getf()) {
getf();
}
}
public function getf():ArrayCollection {
return mySO.data.arrayc;
}
private function adda(array:ArrayCollection):void {
mySO.data.arrayc = new ArrayCollection();
mySO.data.arrayc = array;
mySO.flush();
}
}
}
so when i try to get arraycollection with getf method i get an
arraycollection of generic objects
not with windowinfo objects..in
this manner i can't get value properties of value object class.
so i would use registerClassAlias(Info, WindowInfo) where WindowInfo
is the VO..but where?
the architecture of my app is:
-main application (verify the shared object, if full then call a
public function of canvas to create windows with specific parameters
saved in windowinfo class)
canvas (contains one or more windows)
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I've added 2 classes, a ComputedStylesColumn and ComputedStylesRenderer and I can successfully implement this in the mxml file, but I was hoping to build my datagrids dynamically with actionscript. the mxml that works: mx:DataGrid id=dg1 initialize=dg1.dataProvider = dp paddingTop=0 paddingBottom=0 verticalAlign=middle mx:columns mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Name dataField=name width=140/ mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Symbol dataField=symbol width=60 / local:ComputedStylesColumn headerText=Price dataField=price stylesFunction=computeStyles itemRenderer=ComputedStylesRenderer / /mx:columns /mx:DataGrid I've been able to reconstruct most things in actionscript except for the itemRenderer=ComputedStylesRenderer. when I try this: var custColumn1:ComputedStylesColumn = new ComputedStylesColumn(); custColumn1.dataField = price; custColumn1.headerText = Price; custColumn1.width = 75; custColumn1.stylesFunction = computeStyles; Everything works except: custColumn1.itemRenderer = ComputedStylesRenderer(); Implicit coercion of a value of type ComputedStylesRenderer to an unrelated type mx.core:IFactory

Any ideas of what might be going on here?
Here is my code:

And for comparison, here is the code in listBase.as:
protected function drawHighlightIndicator(indicator:Sprite,
x:Number,
y:Number, width:Number, height:Number,
color:uint, itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer):void
{
var g:Graphics = Sprite(indicator).graphics;

g.drawRect(0, 0, width, height);
g.endFill();
indicator.x = x; (I have tried adding these lines in,
indicator.y = y; but they just screw things up bad.)
}
In case anybody ever stumbles on something similar, I figured out the
problem. I needed to match the overridden function more closely.
Here was my final code that worked correctly:
override protected function drawHighlightIndicator(indicator:Sprite,
x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number, color:uint,

var g:Graphics = Sprite(indicator).graphics;

indicator.y = y+8;

Re: [flexcoders] DYNAMIC LINKBUTTONS styleNames.
Hi Tracy, I have a little more complicated situation...
My linkButtons are now created with actionScript (addChild).
I set their IDs before adding them to their parent.
My action script also fills up my Array of linkButton IDs called buttons.
[Bindable]privatevarbuttons:Array = newArray();
{
}foreach(varitemsIDs:String
inbuttons)trace(itemsIDs);this[itemsIDs].setStyle(styleName,linkButton);
My trace properly returns all the IDs of my buttons but I get the following
error:
Property test001 not found... and there is no default value.
It's like I don't have access to the ID of my linkButtons because they were
created via the ADDCHILD ???
Is this possible?
Any ideas how I can get around this?

[flexcoders] Disabling copy with dragDrop/dragEnabled
Currently an app I'm working on has a traditional two-column set of lists - on the left our unassigned items, on the right the assigned ones. Flex allows you to drag features from one to the other, and these datasets are bound, so it's all handled internally, but unfortunately Flex/Air also allow a user to ctrl-drag - which copies the data. If the user does this, they end up with the data in both lists, which we don't want possible. If we're to leave dragging in, the ability to copy needs to be removed. We also want the drag icon to be displayed correctly in any solution. I can see a few ways to tackle this. 1. Disable dragging altogether. 2. Intercept the drop event/dragComplete and if the copy modifier is set, remove those elements from the source list. However, this won't change the cursor icon to only be 'move' (ie, it'll still be a 'copy' cursor, usually with a +), so doesn't really meet the requirements. 3. Ideally I'd like to just disable the copy function - but I can't find a way of doing this. Can anyone suggest how this can be done? Would this need to be done manually with a mouseMoveHandler wrapping a DragSource instead? Thanks, Tim Rowe Software Engineer carsales.com Ltd

[flexcoders] HOW?: DnD within grid to move AND have DnD from the grid to list be a copy.
Hey folks, I need some guidance/solution to a Drag and Drop scenario... I have a list and a grid. You can drag and drop from the grid to the list, and you can drag and drop within the grid to change the sort order. However, If you drag and drop within the grid it does an automatic copy instead of a move (sort) which is what I want. So, I tried dragMoveEnabled=true which works nicely within the grid, but then it's also moved and not copied to the list. Anyone have guidance on how to have DnD within a grid be a move AND also have DnD from the grid to the list be a copy? It would seem like there is a way. Thanks in advance to all who help! Dave

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] DYNAMIC LINKBUTTONS styleNames.
Hi Tracy, I have a little more complicated situation...
My linkButtons are now created with actionScript (addChild).
I set their IDs before adding them to their parent.
My action script also fills up my Array of linkButton IDs called
buttons.
[Bindable]
private var buttons:Array = new Array();
for each (var itemsIDs:String in buttons)
{
trace(itemsIDs);
this[itemsIDs].setStyle(styleName,linkButton);
}
My trace properly returns all the IDs of my buttons but I get the
following error:
Property test001 not found... and there is no default value.
It's like I don't have access to the ID of my linkButtons because they
were created via the ADDCHILD ???
Is this possible?
Any ideas how I can get around this?
Thanks again :)

styleName is not a property, it is a style. You have to use setStyle();
Also, debug your loop, make sure you have a good refrence to the button.

Hi Tracy, I can get it to work as a var, but when I try to access the

Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
This is my array:

this[target] .styleName = linkButton;

Yes, sailorsea, see that link.
Also, be careful of terminology. I said store references. This is
not the same as storing IDs.
You can do this using ids, with bracket notation.
var sId:String = test001;
this[sId].setStyle( ); //should work

[flexcoders] RE: Disabling copy with dragDrop/dragEnabled
Do you need to drag outside of Flex? If not, I think there's documentation on how to use the non-AIR mx.managers.DragManager which should give you better control. Alex Harui Flex SDK Developer Adobe Systems Inc.http://www.adobe.com/ Blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tim Rowe Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 3:33 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Disabling copy with dragDrop/dragEnabled Currently an app I'm working on has a traditional two-column set of lists - on the left our unassigned items, on the right the assigned ones. Flex allows you to drag features from one to the other, and these datasets are bound, so it's all handled internally, but unfortunately Flex/Air also allow a user to ctrl-drag - which copies the data. If the user does this, they end up with the data in both lists, which we don't want possible. If we're to leave dragging in, the ability to copy needs to be removed. We also want the drag icon to be displayed correctly in any solution. I can see a few ways to tackle this. 1. Disable dragging altogether. 2. Intercept the drop event/dragComplete and if the copy modifier is set, remove those elements from the source list. However, this won't change the cursor icon to only be 'move' (ie, it'll still be a 'copy' cursor, usually with a +), so doesn't really meet the requirements. 3. Ideally I'd like to just disable the copy function - but I can't find a way of doing this. Can anyone suggest how this can be done? Would this need to be done manually with a mouseMoveHandler wrapping a DragSource instead? Thanks, Tim Rowe Software Engineer carsales.com Ltd
