[flexcoders] Android/mobile question

[Davidson, Jerry]

If you build an application for the phone, do you have to use tables to 
position things or can you use CSS or is there a third method?  I ask because 
I'm in a VB.Net class and the teacher said only tables will work and that 
doesn't sound right to me.

TIA

Definitely not right.  You just gotta keep in mind that that there are LOTS
of sizes for android devices so your sizes should be percent based.

CSS will work fine.  I'm not sure what you're talking about with tables,
assuming a flex grid or html table?

With HTML, most everything uses CSS, with Flex, I use percentage based
sizing for most items.

Thanks.  It didn't sound right to me.

If you need selection, why not use List?

Subject: [flexcoders] Retrieve current item on a DataGroup

I have a question that seems easy, but i can't solve.
I have a DataGroup with a custom ItemRenderer.
How can I retrieve the current item that was selected with a double
click (something like a SelectedItem on a DataGrid)?
Can I retrieve the "itemRenderer" instance of the element?

Hi A. P. Damien, 

As I understand it, you have existing functions which you want to call by
passing the name of a function as a string to a generic method. 
By 'script' I take you to mean an external text source. 

public function makeTheCall(s:String):void{ 
   //use try/catch to handle errors
   try {
 this[s]();
   }
   catch(e:ReferenceError) {
 //trace(s,e);
   }
}

I don't think so.

'Always' is a tricky word. The functions you want to call need to be in the
same Class in order for the 'this' keyword to work. The function's name and
the  function name string must be an exact match for case and spelling.
