[flexcoders] Drag is cancelling Click event
I have a component that is drag enabled, and I want him to be click
enabled also...
Unfortunately I am not able to catch any click event (or even
mouseUp)...
Do you have any ideas to solve this problem ?

Hi Mark,
Hi Ciarán
Thanks for your answer.
I can see your point, so I'll try to illustrate what I'm doing and
trying to achieve:
In the application, I have a mx:tile id=tile1/
In a HTTPService Result Handler, I loop through the result and add a
component (spreadView) to tile1.
Now each component (spreadView) has a function that will add children
til it (see below function pageHandler)
I have clipped alot of var's etc from the code, to save some space -
and it's still quite messy, so please bear with me.
Again : Basicly I need to access a childObject of a childObject in a
Tile - Have been looking at rawchildren, which doesn't really bring me
anywhere, propably wrong usage !!
Any helpers is greatly appreciated, it might (obviously) also be, that
I am doint his all wrong, should I avoid using a Component, and
instead build each component in AS ?
Thanks for your time!
Best regards,
Mark

RE: [flexcoders] Chart annotationElements based on series data
There's no obvious way to do what you're doing. The annotation element has access to the chart, so you could iterate over the series of the chart, and ask for their data. To get access to what is currently visible on screen, you could ask for their renderData, then look at the filteredCache inside of that. Of course, now you're tying your annotation element pretty tightly to the details and implementation of the individual series. Ely.

What I'm trying to do now is to create a more complex annotationElement which draws a nice curve across the chart based on the data point values.

No, it is not available for Intel Macs at this time.

The benefit to this approach is that you have a real AS3 IDE with code completion, syntax checking, etc. To be honest, it's much quicker on an Intel-based Mac to develop in Flash 8/Flash 9 under Parallels than it is to try to use Flash 8 natively under OS X.

RE: [flexcoders] How to align identical CategoryAxis as HorizontalAxis and SecondHorizontalAxis
Are you trying to align the gridlines, or align the axes? The short answer is no. There's no general way to force the chart to align a horizontal and secondary horizontal axis (with the asumption, perhaps wrong, being that the reason you're using secodary axes in the first place is because the data is unrelated). If you have the same number of values in the horizontal and second horizontal axes, you could explicitly set the gutterLeft and gutterRight on the chart, which would make the two axes line up, at the expense of some auto-layout functionality.

I'm having trouble with the data being displayed in a LineChart. I have same data in a horizontal and secondhorizontal category axis. I am also displaying vertical gridlines using the backgroundElements property. What is happening is that the spacing is different for the bottom and top axis. The bottom axis is fine but the top is spacing the interval differently than the bottom axis. The gridlines are aligne with the top axis interval. Basically, I end up with data in each series that don't match up because they align to two different axises. Is there a way to control how Flex sets the divlines ? I have tried creating a sub-class of Category axis, but nothing seems to be of help. I have managed to get the top axis labels to display in the correct spacing, but this does not change the actual plot points on the gridlines. Any help would be appreciated !!!

RE: [flexcoders] FDS with Java Question: Why is it grouping requests?
When you get the fault for the first delete, you probably just need to call revertChanges - either for all changes or just that item. After any fault, all messages you commit as part of that batch get reverted - i.e. put back into the uncommitted list. When you revert them, we'll undo those changes - i.e. recreate the deleted item. This is necessary to keep the client's view of the managed state in sync with the server's view.

It would appear the link I gave is broken. But nevermind, I have
found the solution by delving through the framework source code, where
the developers do it differently from what is documented in the Live
Docs.
The solution is to use something along the lines of:
private static var stylesInitialised:Boolean = initStyles();
private static function initStyles():Boolean {
var sd:CSSStyleDeclaration =
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(AreaZoom);
if (!sd)
{
sd = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration(AreaZoom, sd, false);
}
sd.defaultFactory = function():void
{
this.borderColour = 0x017C98;
this.borderAlpha = 1;
this.fillColour = 0x96CEFD;
this.fillAlpha = 0.2;
}
return true;
}

Hi,
Thank you for the help but non of these methods seem to help.
The repeater I use is in a canvas that sits in a tab navigator that
sits in a vbox in an application.
All in different components.
I have tried to open the dialog:
var pt:Point = new Point(event.stageX, event.stageY);
pt = event.target.contentToGlobal(pt);
this.renameTagDlg.x = pt.x;//
this.renameTagDlg.y = pt.y;//
I've changed the contentToLocal to all 6 possibilities but none of
them work.
contentToGlobal,contentToLocal,globalToContent,globalToLocal,localToCont
ent,localToGlobal
I have even tried to get the X,Y of the mouse globalyy and just open
the dialog there but that didn't work too.
I think that jer_ela was on the right track but I just can subtract
all the containers X Y.
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING.

Re: [flexcoders] loading a swf file and dynamic symbols
Hi,
Embedding is a compile-time operation, so you need to embed your
symbols initially, then reference them later.
You might try embedding all the symbols as separate assets within your
flex app, i.e.
[Embed(source='imageSwf.swf;,symbol='symbolName')]
public var symbolName:Class;
You can of course group these into a class of their own, i.e.
public class Images
{
[Embed(source='imageSwf.swf;,symbol='symbolNameA')]
public static var symbolNameA:Class;
[Embed(source='imageSwf.swf;,symbol='symbolNameB')]
public static var symbolNameB:Class;
}
... then reference with Images.symbolNameX;
Get the dataProvider in your repeater component to reference using
that mechanism and it should work. If there's some special reason why
you're using text to reference the image, you can always create
another object type, with both name and class variables, then use
whichever is applicable to render the correct image.
Best Regards,
Ciarán

Re: [flexcoders] Re: FDS/Hibernate Sample of updating hierarchical list of values
Hi Simon, I'm one of the leaders for the Red5 project (http://osflash.org/red5), and I also run a consulting business focused on Flash, Flex, Java and Red5. I saw this post that you sent to the Flexcoders list about the troubles that you are having with FDS and Hibernate. I thought that it might be worth your while to look at Red5. Integration with Hibernate through the Spring context is really well established and of course Red5 is open source so you could conceivably fix any problems that might arise. I know that others have successfully integrated Red5 and Hibernate with little or no problems. It would be great to get more people to look at using Red5 as an alternative to FDS. Right now, I don't think that people realize that you can even do this, not to mention the power in doing so. Anyway, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and good luck with your project. -Chris On 2/23/07, simonjpalmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: PW and Jeff, PW, you and I seem to be in the same boat.

The baby is definitely at risk of being thrown out with the bath water. It stands in our company simply because I have the final call as Technical Director (CTO if you are in the US). I am a huge flex advocate and really doing my best to evangelise on the topic.

Jeff, you and your and team deserve huge credit for that vision and excellent execution. However, much as it pains me to say it, the bottom line is that the hibernate middle tier provided does not work, as PW and I (and a host of other people on various forums) have found. I know that I can re-write the whole thing myself and will probably have to, but when introducing new technologies it is unfortunately all about initial perception. I have made a career of doing this sort of thing myself and I have seen excellent projects fail to fly because of low initial quality, even though we fixed them immediately, the damage was done because people's impression was that they were flaky. I'm sure you know it is hard to get back from that first impression and the word of mouth that springs from it. Once it becomes entrenched that opinion becomes fact and you are irrevocably lost. If I were Adobe I would be a little worried about the tone of the posts I am seeing about integration with Hibernate. The Hibernate Assembler is very important and I would really hate to see that happen to it. The corollary is very unfortunate. That little bit of technology transform the boardroom conversation about FDS. Suddenly the cost of the licensing of FDS becomes justifiable against the dev cost savings because we can just plug into the ORM. Having made that justification myself it is very difficult for me now to go back and say, by the way I also have to incur the dev costs. When asked why? I have to confess that the Adobe code doesn't work and we don't know when we're getting a fix. For the Flex/Flash skeptics in the room that's a god send. For me it is a complete nightmare. It is hard for me to separate the cost of FDS licenses (which is almost prohibitively large) against the cost of dev. I would urge Jeff and Co to get the Hibernate Assembler code watertight and shipping asap. If I can be of any assistance I will gladly offer my services.

The problem is that I need to know which cell he clicked on.

Getting the complete ArrayCollection object which the user

is easy as I can ( as u guys mentioned ) simply grab the event

do not know the name of SOME_PROP_HERE.
In my case I have over 40 columns per row and each carries the
name
of Open1 Open2 Open3 Open4 . etc ...
So of course doing event.selectedItem.Open1 will work.
But how do I know if clicked on the column Open1 or Open2 or
Open3
etc ...
I need to figure out which OpenN ( N = number ) he clicked on

Typically a binding like the one described will only execute if the actual
property changes, and not its children.
So, if need be, you can do something like this to make sure the binding
executes.
model.someData = new ArrayCollection(mysomeDataArray);
Many ways to do what you might need, just getting the best solution for
you (or maybe best practices?).
But I think Flex and some best practices is a little up in the air still.
So, find something that works for you and go with it I reckon.
An Observer works nicely to.

One way to do it is for the ChartView to manipulate the data as it
wishes. So have a setter in the ChartView MXML like so:
bla:ChartView dataProvider={ModelLocator.someData}/
And inside the view it looks like so:
mx:Box
mx:Script
public function set dataProvider( values:XML ):void {
... do stuff here
}
/mx:Script
... view stuff here ...
/mx:Box

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] observing a model change in cairngorm
gareth,
thanks for the response... I think my concern is poluting the model with
view specific data...
The results of a command is xml and this is set in the model which is an
as class (VisitorModel) , the chart bound to the model via its data
provider.
when the app first starts up, I don't have any xml, a user picks a date
range, I hit a web service and get valid xml back, then the chart has
to has create a column series based on some labels in the xml, so I
need to know when the xml has changed so that the column series can be
created and the chart updated.
In your example below, does the buildJobsTree just manipulate the data
or does it actually do something to the view ?

Why not define an as class for your model (if you aren't already), and
define a separate variable that you can populate on the other data being
set?
The snippet I posted is from something I've done that looks like
this
public function set jobs (data:ArrayCollection data:ArrayCollection )
: void
{
_jobs = data;
buildJobsTree(_jobs);
}
Not sure if its the best option.. but it certainly works for me.
Either that, or there are some observer classes from Adobe Consulting
that allow you to watch changes to your model from the UI.
Cheers
Gareth.

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm FDS Sample
Heya,
I was looking for one too and there doesn't seem to be one. I'm able to
currently encapsulate Create/Read/Delete actions in commands, but I
haven't yet found a reliable way to encapsulate Updates in a command.
Everything else works very nicely.
Example of fill:
var ev:ProductEvent = new ProductEvent(ProductEvent.FIND_ALL);
ev.collection = model.products;
CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(ev);
Execute:
public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void {
var ds:DataSource = new DataSource(productHome);
var ev:ProductEvent = event as ProductEvent;
ds.fill(ev.collection); // event is carrying a reference to an
arbitrary collection contained in your model
}
Example of createItem:
var ev:ProductEvent = new ProductEvent(ProductEvent.INSERT);
ev.product = someProduct;
CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(ev);
Execute:
public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void {
var ds:DataSource = new DataSource(productHome);
var ev:ProductEvent = event as ProductEvent;
ds.createItem(ev.product); // event is carrying a reference to a
product bean
}
Example of deleteItem:
var ev:ProductEvent = new ProductEvent(ProductEvent.DELETE);
ev.product = someProduct;
CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(ev);
Execute:
public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void {
var ds:DataSource = new DataSource(productHome);
var ev:ProductEvent = event as ProductEvent;
ds.deleteItem(ev.product); // event is carrying a reference to a
product bean
}
When you find a good way to handle updates, you let me know ;)
Currently there is no fine-grained approach to updating only one
specific record manually, which kinda sucks.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Just curious, A big development team or individual developers
We are a team of 6 developers working on a flex project from two offices using SVN. We have a modular setup where we use different RSL's and external modules which are pulled in from a main application. This way we can work independently. I have been developing Adobe (Macromedia) products for about 5 years and this time I was hoping for a solid product. But right now it feels like I am a paying beta tester... Flexbuilder is not easy to setup for a modular application approach. Right now we are using the Flex SDK and ANT which makes it easier to set up a large application with many external modules and RSL's.

RE: [flexcoders] Looking for guidance on HTTPService sequencing
Here is how I do this: 1) create a single result handler function, used by all calls. 2) When I invoke send, on the returned AsyncToken, I set a property, sCallId, to a string that identifies the call 3) When a result returns, I get the sCallId and use it in a switch statement to run the appropriate processing, often another data service call. This is very easy to set up and to maintain. The key is the AsyncToken returned by send().

Re: [flexcoders] (Simple?) Problem with TextInput component
The UITextField can be extended, but there is no way to get rid of the border/padding directly. If you really want, you should be able override x, y, width and height of UITextField to fake out the bounds with an offset of 2 in each direction, but overriding those properties can get tricky. Good luck if you want to go with that. - Dan On 2/26/07, Ciarán [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I also posted this question to the Adobe boards (albeit in completely the wrong forum...). In a UITextField there's some padding around the edge of the component - just a few pixels of whitespace that clips the font so it doesn't touch the edge of the box. How do I get rid of it? The best example to see this artifact is to resize the height of a text input to about 18 or so, then try typing in it. With a few adjustments, it's quite feasible to fit a font in here if it weren't for the clipping. I noticed further up the hierarchy things extend from flash.text (which to my knowledge is non-editable)... so I'm prepared to accept this may be impossible. Has anyone done it before?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Problem with List Item Renderer (and states)

*Betreff:* [flexcoders] Re: Problem with List Item Renderer (and states)
Your problems stem from the fact that Lists reposition and resize
children each time updateDisplayList is called. Which is whenever you
scroll or resize any of their children. List components extend
TileBase which has a method called makeRowsAndColumns which is the
method that is causing you frustration at the moment. Lists were not
meant to hold itemRenderers that can resize themselves. Instead Lists
have built in mouseOver and mouseDown handlers that recolor the
background behind the object causing the mouseEvent and they must have
thought that would be good enough. I recently had to rewrite the list
classes to allow a resize to work on mouseOver of its children. It
was an ugly hack but the project timeline did not allow me to do much
more at the moment. Basically I created my own Tilebase and ListBase
classes then changed the updateDisplayList method and the
makeRowsAndColumns method to leave alone any itemRenderer that was not
in its default state. Aside from a few issues caused by this, it
seems to have solved my issue but is hardly clean enough to post here.
Take a look at those methods I mentioned and see if you can't do
something in them to ignore anything that is transitioning to a new
state or in a new state.
Good Luck,

Hi everybody,
Here is an interesting issue. We have a datagrid where the user should
be able to reorder items by dragging/dropping. everything is nice an
easy, except when they hold ctrl it copies and messed up the whole
list :(
I have tried to add the dragover and etc event handlers and set
event.ctrlKey = false in there, but it does nothing.
Can somebody recommend something? this is one of those things that
should be really easy but it is not. it is easy to disable move
operation, but i want to do the opposite and force move while
disabling copy. anybody?

So what you would end up seeing is the track of the bottom slider but the thumb of the top slider. Then you just set the bottom slider to have a thumbcount of 2, the top slider has a thumbcount of 1, and when they drop the top slider it sets the values of the bottom slider.

I don't know how you are reading and writing data. If it's HTTPService (more likely) you may need to set the resultFormat to text.

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm FDS Sample
Thanks Dimitrios Billy for your posting your thoughts.
It would be great if someone can share a sample project using FDS
with Cairngorm along with data services(not remoting).
Thanks

Ok I'll chime in here since I use FDS with Cairngorm. Examples
taken from the first Flex 2.0 app we built.
First off we initialize the DS in the model that it relates too:
public class ConsumerModel {
public var consumerDS:DataService;
public function ConsumerModel() {
consumerDS = new DataService( consumerDS );
consumerDS.autoCommit = false;
// set other properties first
}
}
Then in the commands that we need to, we use the DS to perform the
operations that the command requires, as an example update:
public class SaveConsumerCmd {
public function execute( event:CairngormEvent ):void {
...
var token:AsynToken = ConsumerModel.getInstance
().consumerDS.commit();
token.addResponders( this );
}
}
Now the examples are simple, but working with a DataService and a
RemoteObject is different. So I don't use delegates, but because u
can set responders for each operation, thus u can have every command
handle each DataService operation as it sees fit.
Hope that helps,

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm FDS Sample
So far I'm finding that using FDS mixed with Cairngorm is pretty
difficult.
1. When I define my services in the services.xml file, if I specify
'autoSyncEnabled' in the XML declaration, it throws a null pointer
exception. It looks to me like things are getting initialized out
of
order.
2. I've had to specify fault handlers in the services.xml file if
you
want to user 'fault' attributes in the service declaration tags.
If I
do not do this, then some errors do not get handled at all, even
if I
have a fault handler method declared correctly on my responder (ie
my
calling command)
3. Many of the solutions I read about on this forum that show how
to
handle calls to the backend in FDS are not easily applied to a
Cairngorm structure. For example, it is hard to call
service.revertChanges in my fault routine because my fault handler
method is in my command object and the service call is made in my
delegate object. I have to create a reference to the service using
the ServiceLocator solely to call revertChanges in the event of a
fault.
Anyone else experience these problems using FDS and Cairngorm
together? If not, I'd love to see some examples showing me what
I'm
doing wrong.
Thanks

Or perhaps a lighter ping mechanism that doesn't actually send anything over the wire to test for connection? Right now, you'll probably need to do the regular remote ping, or alternatively, you could maintain an open socket connection to the server from your application and send pings over that rather than HTTP as doing so would reduce the amount of network traffic. Doing this might be a little trickier though, particularly if you don't have much expertise on non-HTTP technologies on the server-side. However, before you get too far ahead of yourself, note that ALL of these features will be in Adobe's upcoming Apollo platform. Apollo is geared perfectly for the type of application you're envisioning: an RIA that can run both in a online mode and offline, with the capability to synchronize data against a remote server upon reconnection, and the ability to detect and receive notifications of changes in network connectivity.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Component Styles
Hi Stephen,
The link you posted was what I was attempted to point people to in my
first post. What I posted is indeed similar to what the Live Docs
suggest but with a fairly vital twist. That suggested by the Live
Docs means if a user defines only one of the component's style
attributes using a css file then none of the defaults will be set (if
you look at the code with that in mind it's quite clear why), thereby
forcing the user to define all style attributes in the css file.
Where as the code I posted (picked up from the charting code) allows
the component to behave as those created for the framework, i.e. use
the default value for any style attribute not specified by the user's
css file.
Hope that clears things up.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Custom Component Styles
It would appear the link I gave is broken. But nevermind, I have
found the solution by delving through the framework source code, where
the developers do it differently from what is documented in the Live
Docs.
The solution is to use something along the lines of:
private static var stylesInitialised:Boolean = initStyles();
private static function initStyles():Boolean {
var sd:CSSStyleDeclaration =
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(AreaZoom);
if (!sd)
{
sd = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration(AreaZoom, sd, false);
}
sd.defaultFactory = function():void
{
this.borderColour = 0x017C98;
this.borderAlpha = 1;
this.fillColour = 0x96CEFD;
this.fillAlpha = 0.2;
}
return true;
}

[flexcoders] Re: Chart annotationElements based on series data
Seeing as the annotation element would be tied so tightly to the details of the individual series, would it maybe be an idea to create your own series that draws the series and, optionally, the curve annotation? That way it'd simplify accessing the series data too. The downside would be that you end up with something that's maybe not particularly flexible. Graham --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Ely Greenfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There's no obvious way to do what you're doing.

I have also created a simple annotationElements element which renders a horizontal line across the chart at a configured value. What I'm trying to do now is to create a more complex annotationElement which draws a nice curve across the chart based on the data point values.

[flexcoders] AS3 component woes
Hey ppl!
I'm trying to buil a menu component in here and I ran in some strange
issues.
I know how to workaround this issue but still i'm pretty much interested in
why is it so.
What I have is pretty straight forward routine. When user sets dataProvider
I set allChildrenChanged = true and fire invalidateDisplayList() so
updateDisplayList() gets called on next frame render.
Afterwards in updateDisplayList I have this:
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
if(allChildrenChanged == true){
allChildrenChanged = false;
removeChildren();
_dataProvider.source.forEach(createChild);
}
}
And protected method that handles single menu subitem creation:
protected function createChild(element:Object, index:int, arr:Array):void {
var child:MenuItem = new MenuItem();
child.addEventListener(MacMenuItemEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOverChild);
child.addEventListener(MacMenuItemEvent.ROLL_OUT, onRollOutChild);
child.itemId = element.id
child.icon = element.icon
trace(child +child)
addChild(child);
}
At this point, _dataProvider has several records of proper type, createChild
is called proper number of times trace(child +child) trace exactly what
I've been expecting.
But, theres and error ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is
invalid..
Wheres a problem? MenuItem class extends mx.controlls.Image and work just
fine when used without this class.
The most amazing thing is that if I move exactly the same code from
updateDisplayList to commitProperties it just works.

[flexcoders] Re: Programatically creating LineSeries
Thanks Tariq. I've looked at that example earlier but it doesn't
quite work properly to do what I'm trying. The example uses an
already known ArrayCollection and thus the yField of the different
series can be set very easily.
In my case, I'm getting an XML and then I'm not sure how to set up
my yField/xField. Do I need to parse the XML and create an
ArrayCollection first, or is there a simpler approach? Below is what
I have done, but the series does not show up.
In my mxml, I have:
[Bindable]
public var _elements:XMLList;
public function createXMLList(data:String):XMLList
{
var _xml:XML = new XML(data);
_elements = _xml.elements();
return _elements;
}
mx:Panel width=450 height=400 id=panel
mx:LineChart id=chart height=350 width=300
paddingLeft=5 paddingRight=5
showDataTips=true visible=false
dataProvider={_elements}
mx:horizontalAxis
mx:CategoryAxis dataProvider=[EMAIL PROTECTED] /
/mx:horizontalAxis
/mx:LineChart
/mx:Panel
In my html file, I use the XMLHttpRequest to get my xml and do the
following:
function createChart() {
if (req.readystate == 4 req.status == 200) {
var seriesArray = new Array();
var flexApp = FABridge.example.root();
var chart = flexApp.getPanel().getChildByName(chart);
var s = FABridge.example.create(mx.charts.series.LineSeries);
flexApp.createXMLList(req.responseText);
s.set(yField, datapoint);
seriesArray.push(s);
chart.setSeries(seriesArray);
chart.setVisible(true);
}
}
My XML file has the following structure:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
result metricDfn=Price
company1 id=1
datapoint date=Jan50/datapoint
datapoint date=Feb60/datapoint
datapoint date=Mar40/datapoint
datapoint date=Apr50/datapoint
datapoint date=May40/datapoint
/company1
/result
Anything obvious that I'm not doing right?
Thanks,
Mehul.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Programatically creating LineSeries
1) If you're able to get the XML in a way that you're comfortable,
I would say don't worry about it. Data Services will be worth
looking into down the line if you're doing a lot of transactions or
a lot of data.
2) Here's an example of how to dynamically create series to a chart:

Hi,

[flexcoders] Re: loading a swf file and dynamic symbols
I didn't think of that (that it's a compile-time operation), thanks
for pointing that out, it makes sense now why it wouldn't be working.
So then let me ask this, is there another way to get to that symbol
without embedding the SWF? The example you give, although I'm sure
will work for me, still embeds it all up front (right?). I was
hoping to display that symbol on the fly only because we're talking
about close to 30 separate symbols, and that could grow as time goes
on.
Also right now I'm just trying to see how I can get the images
(symbols) to display dynamically so I'm not tied to anything other
than that Array. The Array holds country identification id's (US =
United States, CA=Canada, etc.). This Array is created from a
series of country ID's tied to the current Item they're looking at
(it could be 1 to 30 countries). Each symbol is named for the
specific ID. What I'm getting at is at this point I'm looking for
the best way to display that corresponding symbol with the ID so
when the user sees the country, they'll also see a little image of
the country.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
Embedding is a compile-time operation, so you need to embed your
symbols initially, then reference them later.
You might try embedding all the symbols as separate assets within
your
flex app, i.e.
[Embed(source='imageSwf.swf;,symbol='symbolName')]
public var symbolName:Class;
You can of course group these into a class of their own, i.e.
public class Images
{
[Embed(source='imageSwf.swf;,symbol='symbolNameA')]
public static var symbolNameA:Class;
[Embed(source='imageSwf.swf;,symbol='symbolNameB')]
public static var symbolNameB:Class;
}
... then reference with Images.symbolNameX;
Get the dataProvider in your repeater component to reference using
that mechanism and it should work. If there's some special reason
why
you're using text to reference the image, you can always create
another object type, with both name and class variables, then use
whichever is applicable to render the correct image.

Ciarán

In this function stockDetailSymbol is a bindable that gets set in a

stockDetailCollection.refresh() to filter.
The problem I have is that now I have 1 item in the ArrayCollection.
From this item I want to use the RATES elements to create a new

something like:
stockDetailCollection.filterFunction=stockDetailCollectionFilter;
stockDetailCollection.refresh();

It fails with the message:

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Timers Not Firing
Thanks norealnamesleft. I think it's turning out to be a bug in the Flash player. In 9r28 the timers start firing again; in 9r16 (or 9r15...), they do not. Thanks, -DT -Original Message- I had some weird deal where I had 2 timers calling the same EventHandler (copy and paste mistake) and even though i stopped both Timers one kept going Not that this is optimal but I would try offsetting your Timers 100, 101, 102, etc and see if that works or running one function and using removeEventListener (although that may throw an exception?). This time, however, the timers don't fire.

[flexcoders] changing states from within a component
Hi, I'm working on an application, which is component based. One of my components is a Login screen, in which the user enters the username and password, these details are passed to a ColdFusion CFC and checked, the result is then checked. If the login is successful I want to be able to change the state in the main application file from the Login state to the Home state, originally I tried using: this.currentState = 'Home'; But this was in the Login component, which doesn't have states, so that didn't work. What is the best practice for components to call the main application to perform tasks like changing the state? Thanks Stephen
RE: [flexcoders] changing states from within a component
Like everything, there are a million ways to do this. And best practices involve opinions sometimes...but I would say the best practice is to fire off an event in your login cfc result handler, and have the parent app listen on that loginSuccessfull event. Then have this.currentState = Home, etc in loginSuccessfull event handler in the parent app. Communication via events keeps everything flexible and independent.

Re: [flexcoders] changing states from within a component
Have the login component fire an event upon succesful, or failed, login. Have the 'main app respond to the event by changing states (or displaying an error).

[flexcoders] Basic inheritance question
Hi,
I'm reading the Developer's Guide and in the section using Events, they
say on a paragraph that :
If you try to call another method on the currentTarget (for example,
the setStyle() method), Flex returns an error. The setStyle() method is
defined on UIComponent, a subclass of DisplayObject. Therefore, you must
cast currentTarget to UIComponent before calling the setStyle() method
for example:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.core.UIComponent;
private function myEventHandler(e:Event):void {
UIComponent(e.currentTarget).setStyle(color, red);
}
]]
/mx:Script
and e.currentTarget is of type Button. But Button extends UIComponent,
so we don't have to upcast the reference because setStyle method is
public and is available to Button object reference0. I tried the code
without upcasting and it works.
Is the writer wrong or Am I missing something on the concept.
Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Basic inheritance question
In general you always want to cast something like this - because
event.currentTarget is of type object and NOT UIComponent or Button. But since
objects are loosely typed as type Object, then you reference any property or
method you want at compile time. Often at runtime though you will hit errors
unless it is properly casted. Your sample application was done in Flex 2 right?
Definitely a best practice to be casting generic objects like this to the type
of object you want to be working with to avoid runtime errors

[flexcoders] Re: Need help seaching and comparing in an ArrayCollection
That is exactly what you need to do. Create a for loop and get a handle on each object in the loop. Then, set up a method that returns a Boolean if it needs to be flagged. This method will check the dates. if true, then inside your For loop, flag the data object. Note: You can do the conditionals inside the for loop, it's just better for readability to extract that logic out to another method within the same class. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm at a bit of a loss right now how to do something.
