[flexcoders] Re: Embedded Fonts and Flash Builder 4.01
Thanks Alex, I guess I was thrown off by the warning text which had it as 'embedAsCff not 'embedAsCFF'. I fixed that and then removed -managers=flash.fonts.AFEFontManager from my compiler settings and the warnings disappeared. I was also thrown off that I thought Halo components required embedAsCFF to be set to false but that no longer seems to be the case.

Re: [flexcoders] Value Object --- Object Proxy --- huh???
Not sure it's worth the trouble, but did you have some particular technique in mind? I think I might have asked about this before, but if MXML had a way to do constructor injection it could also help frameworks like Mate so they don't need tags with attributes called arguments.

[flexcoders] Re: Issue with item renderer in Flex 3
Use DataGrid_witStyle at flexdiary.blogspot.com. This sort of thing is exactly
why I wrote it. Check out the itemRenderer example I provided if you need to
use style properties that don't exist in your itemRenderer's base class.
Note that at least part of your problem is coming from the fact that you're
doing the set style in set data() rather than in an override of
updateDisplayList(). Reread the docs on the component life cycle, and check
out Alex and Gordon's article on that topic in Flex Authority. I think you can
still get the issue as a download, though you may have to pay for it. What it
will save you in learning curve will be well worth it.

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in using item renderers. I have a checkbox as an item
renderer in a datagrid. When I check/uncheck the checkbox, the color of the
checkbox should change from its default color to yellow. And on click of a
save button, I am saving the changes to the database and refreshes the grid.
But what happens then is,due to the recycling of renderers, the yellow
checkbox is appearing on some other row/column. I know that this happens
because I am not resetting the yellow to default color. I also don't know
where to reset the yellow to default color.
This is what I did,..
on click of check box, in the click handler, i set the yellow color
setStyle('fillColors',['#eccd12', '#e9d76c','#eccd12', '#e9d76c']);
setStyle('fillAlphas',['1','1','1','1']);
also set a boolean variable isEdited to true
In override public function set data():void
{
if(isEdited)
{
//set yellow
setStyle('fillColors',['#eccd12', '#e9d76c','#eccd12', '#e9d76c']);
setStyle('fillAlphas',['1','1','1','1']);
}
else
{
//set default color
setStyle('fillColors',['#FF', '#CC','#FF', '#EE']);
setStyle('fillAlphas',['0.6','0.4','0.75','0.65']);
}
}
This doesnt solve the problem.
Can someone please help me in this?
Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Value Object --- Object Proxy --- huh???
For some setters you can test against null to know if the value was previously set, otherwise you’d need flags. Then ignore or throw an error.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Embedded Fonts and Flash Builder 4.01
If you are using MXFTEText.css then the Halo components can use CFF fonts. Otherwise, sounds like there is still something unexplained going on.
