[flexcoders] XML File size limit?
Is there a limit to the size that an XML file can be? I am working with some huge XML files, and one that I am working with 98938 Lines and is about 2 megs...for some reason, it seems like my app is not reading the file all the way through...any ideas?
[flexcoders] Re: save word file to database.
I'm not sure what the use case is, but I was faced with a similar issues recently...but with Flex, and ended up using Sribd. The service allows you to upload most doc types, not just word docs, and takes care of the your storage needs. Docs can be set to private if desired, so the public cant view it. Once in scribd, you can download the original doc again, retrieve a 'firt page' icon, and read the doc using their iPaper 'viewer', this would be easy in AIR using the HTML component. There's an actionscript API available(not great but the source is available, so you can extend), check out the developers page at scribd.com.

[flexcoders] dragdrop inside itemEditor in dataGrid...a tricky question
Hello all
I'd really appreciate your help on this.
I have a itemEditor in my datagrid (see attached code).. this is a dragdrop
text input... I drag words inside and it concatenates them to a comma separated
string...
I've embedded it in the grid like that:
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Prevent ctx dataField=@prevent_ctxs
rendererIsEditor=true width=200
itemRenderer=CtxTI editable=true/
The problem is that the grid does not sense the itemBegin/itemEnd events when I
drag things inside..
and therefore does not activate the editor/automatically pull the data of the
itemEditor and puts it into the grid..
Can anyone figure a way to correct/around this?
Thanks in advance

RE: [flexcoders] how to call dynamic servlet
That should work, I use dynamic urls with HTTPService regularly. One
suggestion, don't use binding. Instead, in the function where you invoke
service.send(), set the url there.
Additionally, unless you have a very special use case, you do not want
resultFormat=xml, you want resultFormat=e4x. xml is the old AS
object, and lacks most of the functionality available in e4x.

[flexcoders] truncateToFit or multiline title in TitleWindow

[flexcoders] What's the trick to subclassing DataGrid?
I have a class that extends DataGrid but it has some problems in Flex Builder design mode. When you drag DataGrid from the Components palette to the design area it defaults to a 3 column DG. When I drag my component it comes up as a blank DG, that is, no predefined columns. I tried to tweak my design.xml to replicate the framework's DG entry, but that did not work. I believe I'd have to crate my own plugin/extension to get that to work eh! TIA julio

Say I have a DG as: mx:DG mx:columns mx:DGC/ mx:DGC/ my:myDGC/ mxDGC/ /mx:columns /mx:DG Only columns 1,2,4 show up in design mode on FB3. I tried to look into the framework's design.xml but found nothing related to DGC. And nothing in DG or DGC source seems to indicate any code that' specific to FB3 design rendering. Any lead would be greatly appreciated. TIA julio

[flexcoders] dataGrid not receiving user input (intermitently) in bottom right

Sometimes is reacts to click events as if they are occurring in the row in which a mouse_over interaction was last observed.

But I don't know what it is a redraw region for. I've checked my other component and they aren't near. I have the following custom item renderers: column 2: extends Canvas column 3: extends Label column 4: extends Label. Anyone know what might be causing this?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: dragdrop inside itemEditor in dataGrid...a tricky question
Yes, leave off renderIseditor=true.
Your renderer will know which item it is currently associated with, since
that reference gets passed into the renderer any time the underlying data
changes in the set data() function. Further, if the renderer implements the
IDropInListItemrrenderer interface, you will als have access to the listData
and thus dataProvider, should you need to get the itemIndex using
getItemIndex.

Subject: [flexcoders] dragdrop inside itemEditor in dataGrid...a tricky
question
Hello all
I'd really appreciate your help on this.
I have a itemEditor in my datagrid (see attached code).. this is a
dragdrop
text input... I drag words inside and it concatenates them to a comma
separated string...
I've embedded it in the grid like that:
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Prevent ctx dataField=@prevent_ctxs
rendererIsEditor=true width=200
itemRenderer=CtxTI editable=true/
The problem is that the grid does not sense the itemBegin/itemEnd events
when I drag things inside..
and therefore does not activate the editor/automatically pull the data
of
the itemEditor and puts it into the grid..
Can anyone figure a way to correct/around this?
Thanks in advance
Afik Gal

[flexcoders] Re: dataGrid not receiving user input (intermitently) in bottom right
Has to be another object on top of the DataGrid. The redraw region is the clue. Look at the other objects in the same class as the DataGrid. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tracy Spratt tspr...@... wrote: If you are pretty sure there is not something invisible covering that area, try cleaning the project.

The other 50% of the time the dataGrid wont accept user interaction in the bottom right area (the bottom 3 (of 6) rows, right 2 (of 4) columns). i.e. that part of the grid does not react to mouse over events, not mouse click events. Sometimes is reacts to click events as if they are occurring in the row in which a mouse_over interaction was last observed. Looking at the redraw regions, I see that a redraw region occasionally appears in the bottom right of the grid - exactly where he grid is not receiving user input. So that is probably related. But I don't know what it is a redraw region for. I've checked my other component and they aren't near. I have the following custom item renderers: column 2: extends Canvas column 3: extends Label column 4: extends Label. Anyone know what might be causing this? Or how to fix it / diagnose it further? thanks tom

Don't forget about listData.rowIndex as well.

Yes, leave off renderIseditor=true.
Your renderer will know which item it is currently associated with,
since
that reference gets passed into the renderer any time the underlying
data
changes in the set data() function. Further, if the renderer
implements the
IDropInListItemrrenderer interface, you will als have access to the
listData
and thus dataProvider, should you need to get the itemIndex using
getItemIndex.

Hmm...
Thanks for the response...nice idea... but how do I access the right
row in
the dataprovider XMLListCollection? (rowIndex?)
and if I choose this approach I simply turn the editor to renderer?
Thanks

For a renderer of that complexity, I would not use the DGs native
editable
process, but would handle the dataProvider item updates within the
renderer
itself.

[flexcoders] Re: Lazy loading in AdvancedDataGrid using RemoteObject
Thanks Amy for your help, I'm going your way:), only one question if i may, Is it possible to activate ItemRenderer on my columns after fetching childrens from my RemoteObject? How do I do that based on your example? I need to manipulate the data (override set data()) based on the various columns, the childrens data is not always plain value. Thanks again :) Jo --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Amy amyblankens...@... wrote: --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, yossi.baram yossi.baram@ wrote: one more thing, AdvancedDataGrid doesnt support DataDescriptor... Yes. You asked about general approaches and pointers in the right direction. I showed you an example that will take you part of the way there. The rest of it is up to you :)
