Hi, - You need import the class your subclassing. - Effects API has changed a little, there are some changes in method signatures. - You need override keyword while overriding a method in subclass. - _rotation is changed to rotation - You need to surrounding mx:Effects tag anymore -

RE: [flexcoders] Data service results format: VO or XML?

2005-10-20 Thread Matt Chotin
So in Flex 1.5 I would say that youre better off using value objects because the XML objects in Flex 1.5 are not that flexible for display in a DataGrid.  But with Flex 2 the answer is: use XML by all means, thats what e4x is for!  Unfortunately you cant do it in the alpha quite yet, but

Im not sure that Akamai supports RemoteObject like access on their edge servers right now but I could be wrong. Their support of Flex might be distributing the SWF only but not the data access. Can you point me at where you saw their description of support? Matt From:

I *think* its myButton.getStyle(mouseDownEffect) but that will just return the name of the effect. Youll need to then instantiate the effect yourself and if you had defined the effect in your mx:effects tag this is not really possible. It might be easier to go ahead and do

Did the MXML files get the data from the database originally? If your MXML file updated the database I would expect the next time you load the MXML to see the new values, not the old values. Sorry, Im not really following how your setup works. Matt From:

In your project you can right click on the MXML file and add it to the application list. Then when you press the run button the next time it should run that one. Though this behavior may only be in the plugin, the standalone version might only support running the default application if
