[flexcoders] Re: Dynamically creating item IDs
maybe your trying to do something like this
mx:TextInput preinitialize=assignID()/
private function assignID(event:FlexEvent):void
{
//read your xml file and get id
var sID:String = assign your id from your xml file here;
//assign this textinput's id
event.currentTarget.id = sID;
}

I guess from the lack of replies there is no way of doing this. If

this is very disappointing. The ability to create IDs on-the-fly
is
very helpful in other technologies, such as AJAX.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Inconsistent Runtime Error
Hi Tyler,
Since your swfloaders are applications you can listen for the
applicationComplete event via the swfloader.content property. This event
fires when all children have issued creationComplete events (including your
viewstack). You don't have to worry about using a timer.
Set up your listeners on the swfloader as you are currently doing but add
one for the INIT event. In the event handler you can add another listener on
swfloader.content (your sub application). For example.
private function handleInit(event:Event):void
{
_swfloader.content.addEventListener(
FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE, handleApplicationLoaded);
}
private function handleApplicationLoaded(event:Event):void
{
_applicationLoaded = true;
dispatchEvent(new SWFAppEvent( SWFAppEvent.READY ));
}
In the above code I am waiting for my custom event READY to fire before I
start referencing it in the parent.
This is something I did before modules was included in the framework so
there might be some duplication ?? Have you looked at modules?
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Angus

Okay, that makes sense. Sort of...
I already have an event listener setup for the SWFLoader objects. I try to
check if the loaded app is finished initializing and proceed, otherwise I
try again in a second. Here's a snippet:
--
mx:SWFLoader source=source_to_app.swf complete=loaderComplete(event);
trustContent=true/
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function loaderComplete(e:Event):void
{
if (e.currentTarget.content.application) //is the app initialized?
{
//trigger the generation of the chart...
}
else //if not, try again in 1 second
{
setTimeout(loaderComplete, 1000, e);
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
--
Is this the right way to do such a thing? It seems to work for me. Before
implementing this, I was attempting to access
e.currentTarget.content.application[varname] before the variables
existed, and that for sure caused runtime errors.
One thing along these lines that may be the problem...the loaded app
switches states before working on building the chart. The new state adds
the chart object to the display. So does the chart object not exist before
we switch states? Is it possible I'm attempting to access objects in the new
state before the state is fully built?
When the code:
currentState = 'chart';
is executed, is the state fully built before the next line of code is
executed? Or could something like this cause a problem:
currentState = 'chart';
itemInChartState.visible = false //as an example
Is it possible itemInChartState doesn't exist yet?
Thanks for the help.

You need to set listeners of the swfloader(s) to ensure that they are
loaded
and complete. See the doc's which has an example of setting them.
Wait for the complete event then fire your charting.
Post back if you need more help.

[flexcoders] Re: How to bind to an obj that wraps ArrayCollection?
I have been building an application with binding and observers. I have
found situations where things were not happening, but these were
usually due to some fault in what I wanted to happen. I have not tried
to trap changes to an array collection. But my approach would be to
simplify the logic. Using your code that works,
I would change the observer:
adobe.ac:Observe
source={ model.aSpecialBooleanVariable }
handler={ handler }
value={true}/
In the function collectionChangeHandler:
model.aSpecialBooleanVariable = true;
In function handler:
model.aSpecialBooleanVariable = false
This last part is needed as the observer is only fired when the value
changes to true, if the value is already true, and is again set to
true, the observer does not recognize this as a change.
Try this, it simplifies the firing logic. Trying to capture changes to
a collection directly is a black box, this includes adding, deleting
items in a collection and changing the value of an item in a collection.

Well, i thought i would answer myself... I certainly cannot find a
built in way to automatically scroll to a display object inside a
VBox.
So, here's my hack at it:
private function scrollObjectIntoView
(vBox:VBox,scrollToObject:DisplayObject):void
{
var startViewPosition:int = vBox.verticalScrollPosition;
var endViewPosition:int = vBox.verticalScrollPosition +
vBox.height;
var scrollToObjectPosition:int = 0;
// determine intended scroll position of the input DisplayObject
// just sum up the virtual Y position of the child display object
for each (var displayObj:DisplayObject in vBox.getChildren())
{
if (displayObj == scrollToObject) break;
scrollToObjectPosition += displayObj.height;
}
// is already in view if the scroll to position is
// between the start and end current view position
if (scrollToObjectPosition startViewPosition
scrollToObjectPosition endViewPosition) return;
// don't let the scroll to postion be greater than
// the max scroll to position, could also use a Math.max here.
if (scrollToObjectPosition vBox.maxVerticalScrollPosition)
scrollToObjectPosition = vBox.maxVerticalScrollPosition;
// set the scroll to positin.
vBox.verticalScrollPosition = scrollToObjectPosition;
}

Is there no automatic way to scroll to a particualar child object
inside a VBox?
I'm writing a tool that allows the user to select a child control
in
a vbox, (it get highlighted just like a row in a datagrid) and then
give them an up and down arrow to move the object up or down.
However, when you move a question up (using the vbox's
setChildIndex
method) it's moved up or below the window i want to programatically
scroll the selected child into view but only if it needs to.
Right now i've just writing my own code, basically reading the
scroll
postion of the vertical scroll bar and all the heights of the child
object in the vbox it's a hack though.
I think i've see a scrollIntoView method somewhere but it's not
listed on the VBox ui object.
Thanks for anyones help i could be missing something really
easy.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex choking while converting less than 2 MB of data
Yes, creating the class instances was the problem area. I managed to work around this issue by creating the instances in chunks on an interval. So once my web service returns, rather than iterating over the whole collection and doing the conversions I start an interval that runs every half second, and each pass creates 100 class instances. This also helped with UI lockup; my loading, please wait animation now continues to run while the parsing is happening. It stops during the initial deserialization Flex does but thats no more than 2 seconds, which I can live with.

When returning large sets of data like this, we had to stop using webservices returning objects and change to using webservices returning an XML string or HTTPServices returning XML. Having the flash player consume a big blog of XML and then you do what you want with it (like turn it in to AS XML Objects and use it for a grid's dataprovider, etc) is WAY faster than letting flex try to deserialize it all and put it all into memory as strongly typed objects. One perf test we did in 1.5 was to return three hundred items as nested, strongly typed objects took about 45 seconds for the FP to handle the result set and render. When using straight xml, it took about 2 seconds. Of course it all depends on how large your result set as well as how deep and nested your objects are.

I have left the resultFormat set to object, and it seems to handle the initial parsing into anonymous objects without much trouble. However, when I attempt to convert this structure into class instances the player chokes and usually ends up freezing the browser. The object structure consists of one main Batch object instance, which contains 2000 BatchDocument instances, which in turn each contain a single ClientInfo object instance and up to four Plan object instances. This doesn't seem like a structure that Flex should fail so miserably with as the performance everywhere else has been pretty impressive. I have attempted this using Darron Schall's ObjectTranslator class (http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000247.cfm http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000247.cfm http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000247.cfm http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000247.cfm ) as well as simply passing the anonymous objects to my class constructors.

[flexcoders] CF flex2gateway vs JavaAdapter
Have there been any performance studies between using a standard swf connecting to an internal ColdFusion server using the flex2gateway vs using FDS with the JavaAdapter? To this point we have been using only FDS with a Java/Hibernate backend using the JavaAdapter but are looking at ColdFusion for an upcoming project. My concerns are with performance. Anyone had any case studies on this? Rich
RE: [flexcoders] How to align chart items in two charts?
by default charts compute their gutterLeft and gutterRight dynamically, but if you need to get two charts to align, you can set them to explicit values. You lose a little bit of flexibility in axis/label layout...it will fit the axes to the space available rather than choosing the best space available for the labels, but if you choose appropriate values it should work fine.

Hello, Flexcoders. I have two charts one below another. They are quite similar and use the same horizontal axeses. But the problem is that I can't get the correct chart view.

[flexcoders] Re: simulate datagrid header click, or set default sort column
I just went through the same exercise, and ended up using the recommended method, which is creating your own Sort object... The basic working is to 1. take a collection (either arraycollection or xmllistcollection) as dataprovider 2. define a Sort object for it (you do this by creating SortFields and putting them into the fields array of the Sort object) 3. execute a Refresh on your collection If you trigger your sort via HeaderRelease events, you should call preventDefault() in that handler so that only your sort gets executed.

RE: [flexcoders] Invoking RemoteObject method - Type Coercion error
The ObjectProxy is returned when the player de-serializes a server side
class which it does not recognize. (It would ordinarily return just an
Object, but that is wrapped by an ObjectProxy if you have the
makeObjectsBindable property set since plain old Object does not support
binding events).
There are a couple of reasons why this might be the case... Most likely
your server side object's class may not match exactly com.foo.Expr -
it could be a sub-class. To see what is being put on the wire, you can
enable server side debug logging. If you are using FDS, you do this in
services-config.xml, set level=Debug and make sure the Endpoint.*
target is in there. You can see the trace of the AMF server debug logs
to see what class name is being put onto the wire.
The other thing that can cause this is if your class alias is not
getting registered on the client somehow. Your RemoteClass tag should
take care of that as long as that class gets linked into your SWF (which
should be happening as you have a reference to that class). You can
diagnose that using the describeType method on the client side and
look for the alias which is in that mapping.

[flexcoders] Re: Invoking RemoteObject method - Type Coercion error
In the debugger:
event.result seems to be of type ObjectProxy
It shows a child of type Object that in turn contains a root Object
corresponding to a data member of my Expr class called root of a type
called Node.
In addition to this child object, event.result also shows a root
child Object.
Since my method returns an Expr object, what I'd expect to see is
event.result to be of type Expr and to be able to do:
var expr:Expr = Expr(event.result);
var node:Node = expr.root;

I was thinking I could use flash 9 ide as the intro was built in it. Can I just load the flex app into an swf via flash 9 ide. And the real question for me is how would I replay the intro as there is a button specified for this? I am so used to using modules now in flex. 2. I am using itemRenderers in my datagrid and have a link button in one of the columns. I cant seem to access the selectedIndex on the row selected when clicking the link button. I actually cant access any functions either from my as class. How can I access functions from my main mxml file and also access stuff like selectedIndex from my arrayCollection. I can access the data from the grid no problem using data.name or whatever. Thanks Jeremy Jeremy Tooley Creative Director We Made That Design Group Inc.

BTW, I also fiddled with dispatching the HEADER_RELEASE event, before I used a custom sort, and one problem is, that its behavior depends on whether the column to be sorted was the last sorted column or not. If it was the previous sort column a header release event will reverse the sort order, if it was not the last column, it will reuse the same sort order that it had when it was last used - in some cases you may end up dispatching the header release twice, to get the desired sort order, and you can see... this is not a good solution ;-) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, iko_knyphausen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just went through the same exercise, and ended up using the recommended method, which is creating your own Sort object...

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamically creating item IDs
Are you talking about the id=... attribute on MXML tags? All it does it autogenerate a public var in the class. For example, if you write mx:Button id=b/ in an MXML component then the autogenerated AS class has the instance var public var b:Button; So if you plan on dynamically instantiating components instead of statically declaring them with tags, you simply declare your own var as above and then do b = new Button(); The difference between this approach and AJAX is that AS3 gets its performance gain over Javascript by having non-dynamic classes (where all properties and methods are declared at compilation time) in addition to to dynamic ones. Flex components are mostly non-dynamic for speed. So you simply declare variables to be the id's of the components you're going to create later. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of thetexaspsycho2003 Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 1:12 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamically creating item IDs --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , thetexaspsycho2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way to dynamically create an item's ID?

[flexcoders] Application Idleness
Does anyone have any suggestions for monitoring idleness of a Flex application? The way my app works, pretty much any request to the server will renew a cookie for another 30 minutes.. so I could just have flex make a generic request every 10 minutes or so to avoid idling out, but I don't want to do that (it's a violation of procedures set up during our last security audit!) What I'd like to do is perform that request - say every 5 minutes - if there has been any kind of activity in the flex app.. keyboard or mouse activity.. that way the server session stays active, and then if the user has been idle for more than 20 minutes (no keyboard or mouse activity) to actually blank the flex app window and pop up a login window, forcing the user to reauthenticate.

I have an address i'm trying to load the yahoo maps with a particular

works fine but if I try to trigger it from a completion Complete I get
debugging errors and cant figure this one out... How can I modify this

[flexcoders] Flex Prototyping Best Practices
I've become a big believer in iterative development and in starting my Flex apps by working on the U/I. Then, only after I can freeze the U/I, do I start on the backend. It's easy enough to drag some controls into an application, but I'm not as sure the best ways to populate the controls with sample data. What's the best practice? And what way makes it easiest to modify the sample data and ultimately switch to developing the back end with minimum impact on my Flex code? If any of you have any other tips for a good Flex development process, I'd love to hear your thoughts on that, too! Thanks, Clarke

I'm assuming you're using Flex 2.0--if you're using the Flex Framework as a basis for development (as opposed to rolling your own ActionScript 3.0-only project), this functionality is actually supported out of the box by the SystemManager.

[flexcoders] HitArea of pieChart when adding call out and explode.
HI all, Hi Ely, Anyone know of a way to retain the effective HitArea of a pie series after adding datatip call outs and explode? It seems that after adding perwedgeexplode and callouts, the hitarea for each wedge is dminished. Or will it be better to add the callouts as sort of annotation elements using datadrawing canvas? Im also thinking I can perhaps set a a new sprite as a particular wedge's hitarea but then again i really dont know which is more practical.. Right now I have settled with setting the calloutgap to a negative value to allow it to overlap on the pie.. but some callout lines become crooked ;p Any sugguestions? Thnx! -leds Expecting?

[flexcoders] Re: simulate datagrid header click, or set default sort column
Yes, but you should provide for the sorting of these columns too, otherwise your sort competes against the builtin... Alternatively, you could detach your custom sort whenever a different header is clicked (meaning resetting the sort property of the collection) - but I think you can have much more control doing your own. Also keep in mind, if you have any columns with calculated fields (meaning the dataField value is different than what is displayed), you may need a custom sort anyway (try sorting dates as strings... and you see what I mean) Iko --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Adam Royle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, thanks for your response.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: how do you call the super's super?
I agree that it would be nice to be able to call super-super-...-methods but the language simply wasn't designed to allow that. If the upcoming Ecmascript standard supports it, ActionScript will support it, otherwise it probably won't. As for hacking classes to do something they weren't compiled to do... non-dynamic classes are a new feature of AS3 and they do not allow you to change a compiled method such as updateDisplayList(). This is part of the performance and security of AS3 vs. AS1 and AS2. Changes to the prototype object are still possible, but the framework does not use prototype-based inheritance, so this wouldn't allow you to do anything with updateDisplayList(). - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Lee Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 6:12 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: how do you call the super's super? maybe I want to override (and by that I mean NOT run the code in) parent.updateDisplayList.

[flexcoders] Purpse of default-channels
Hello all, I am curious about the meaning of default-channels in the proxy-config.xml. I was under the assumption I could set up the channels, and fail over would occur based on the channel that is being used. For example, if I want to run SSL on production, but not while developing, could I have: default-channels channel ref=my-secure-http/ channel ref=my-secure-amf/ channel ref=my-http/ channel ref=my-amf/ /default-channels I would think that the secure channels would only get used if you're sending to port 443, vs: 80. It doesn't appear to work like that though. Allen Riddle Sofware Development x3217

If I cannot read/write files from a workstation to a server, or deal with a remote data connection, Apollo suddenly seems really useless for my app :( There's no reason that you'd even need Apollo to do that. Flash Player 9 already has all you need for building libraries to connect to all sorts of remote filesystems: sockets, binary and otherwise. Sockets are pretty much all you need for implementing whatever remote filesystem protocol that happens to float your boat, be it WebDAV, FTP, SCP or more esoteric protocols like SMB and NFS. From previous work I've done implementing WebDAV for AJAX applications over XMLHTTPRequest, I seriously doubt that'd take more than a day or two of effort. Some of the other protocols might be trickier though, especially if you need to re-implement some heavy lifting in the form of encryption algorithms for authentication or stream protection.

Re: [flexcoders] flex bluetooth.
Tom Chiverton wrote: Does the bluetooth keyboard work without Flex, i.e. with Notepad ? If not, it's not Flex's fault, and we can't help. If it's something that's not handled natively by Windows (for instance, Bluetooth keyboard or mouse), getting it to work with Flex is probably beyond the scope of this list. Gunadi's best bet at that point would be to access the appropriate driver for the device using an adapter program and exposing the API to it for Flex to use via a socket or ActiveX control. If an ActiveX control already exists for accessing the particular Bluetooth device, a third party extender like Zinc or SWF Studio might be able to do the trick via direct API calls. Unfortunately, such solutions are more hackish than not and are unlikely to work well outside of IE (with additional trusted ActiveX controls) or a third party wrapper to the SWF.

[flexcoders] Need help in dynamically updating datagrid
Hi All, I am developing a flex app, for the first time. I have three main components. A combo-box, datagrid and a graph. The combobox is populated using httprequest to a php page which provides data from mysql database. My problem is I need to populate the datagrid and update graph depending on the value selected from combo-box but can't seem to get it working. I have tried states and also went to the extent of replacing the whole datgrid with another one (visible property) but still stuck. I can send the code as soon as my workstation comes up, but if someone has any pointer he/she can spare me, it will be greatly appriciated. thanks in advance
RE: [flexcoders] Passing data from TitleWindow to application
Simplest is to have your PopUp call a method on the Main app in the
closeDialog method. I have an example of this on cflex.net. But best
practice is probably to have the title window emit an event, and in the
handler, use event.target to get the value you want.

[flexcoders] Flex builder stability?
Gentlepeople, A few days ago I have installed a demo license of flex builder and in general I like it very much. Nevertheless, ever since, my Eclipse blows up (either heap size or stack overflow) at regular occasions. I don't think I have been able to work with it for longer than an hour (average is probably 15 minutes). Before installing flex builder, my eclipse could happily run for days in a row. I have done the typical things of increasing heap size of the vm but that does not help. Are there any other tips or guidelines? Also, what are the experiences of other users with flex builder's stability? Thanks! Peter
[flexcoders] Re: Inconsistent Runtime Error
I replied earlier, but my post has never shown up. Anyway...
I didn't know anything about modules, but did some reading about them.
Seems ideal for what I'm going to be doing, but I'll tackle that later.
So I implemented the listeners like you described, and it worked great.
I'm now able to manipulate items within the loaded app, without using
the timer method I described earlier. Thanks for that!
But my original problem still exists. I still get a runtime error about
95% of the time. The error starts with:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.core::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IFactory.
at mx.charts.series::BarSeries/get
legendData()[C:\dev\flex_201_gmc\sdk\frameworks\mx\charts\series\BarSeri\
es.as:178]
...etc...
So I commented out all of the BarSeries lines of code from my app (about
5 lines), and then received a different but very similar error at
runtime (cannot convert ...Stroke to IStroke). Using trace() I've
followed through to progression of my code, compared to when the runtime
error occurs.
The first thing I do is change the currentState to the new state, which
contains the chart. Then I set all the properties of the chart, then my
code is done. It is after that when the runtime error occurs. Looking at
the app itself, the new state hasn't been 'painted' on the screen yet,
so it seems the error occurs when the Flash Player attempts to display
the new state. So it feels like the error is caused by code I don't have
control over (Adobe's code). I've also tried using 'enterState' event
listeners, but it resulted in the same runtime error.
Yeah, kind of frustrated. The only thing I can think of is scrapping
states, and just using ActionScript to change the display. Maybe that's
the only way to make it reliably work.

This is something I did before modules was included in the framework

there might be some duplication ?? Have you looked at modules?

Before

One thing along these lines that may be the problem...the loaded app
switches states before working on building the chart. The new
state adds
the chart object to the display. So does the chart object not exist
before
we switch states? Is it possible I'm attempting to access objects in
the new
state before the state is fully built?
When the code:
currentState = 'chart';
is executed, is the state fully built before the next line of code
is
executed? Or could something like this cause a problem:
currentState = 'chart';
itemInChartState.visible = false //as an example
Is it possible itemInChartState doesn't exist yet?
Thanks for the help.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Invoking RemoteObject method - Type Coercion error
You'll have to determine why an ObjectProxy is being created...
typically it's because an anonymous Object was returned and RemoteObject
had makeObjectsBindable=true (which it is by default).
As for why an anonymous Object was returned - either something like a
java.util.Map was returned instead of the type you expected, or the
com.foo.Expr class was not available to the native deserializer in the
Flash Player at the time the response was received.
Your AS3 (and Java, for the reverse situation) Expr class must also
possess a constructor that allows for no-arguments instantiation.
Depending on how classes are being loaded by your SWF (they can be
lazily loaded in Flex applications) the underlying call to
flash.net.registerClassAlias() (that is generated for you by the mxmlc
compiler because you added [RemoteClass(alias=com.foo.Expr)] metadata)
may not have executed before the response was received.
Another reason is that no reference was made to the ActionScript
com.foo.Expr class in your Flex application and hence the mxmlc compiler
never linked the class definition into the SWF. I don't think this is
the cause as you appear to make a reference to the class in the result
handler (and I imagine you also imported this class in order for it to
compile).
As a last ditch effort you could try making a static reference to your
class somewhere in your application, like:
private static var dep:Class = Expr;
or I guess you could even call flash.net.registerClassAlias on your own
and not rely on the generated code.
Actually, that begs the question, are you using MXML? Or are you working
with a pure ActionScript application?

In the debugger:

It shows a child of type Object that in turn contains a root Object

In addition to this child object, event.result also shows a root

Since my method returns an Expr object, what I'd expect to see is

[flexcoders] clipContent and Modules (printing)
Hello, I've created an application that contains a custom hierarchy chart/drawing (think org chart). The code for this chart is contained in a module. The size of the container changes based on the # of items in the hierarchy. I'm having two problems. Printing I've seen posts that suggest using clipContent on surrounding containers and the root application, so that items in the container that are masked can be printed. Does this work with modules? I'm able to get the clipContent concept to work on code within the application, but not if the code is within a module. Redrawing The other issue is that flash seems to refresh or redraw the container after a while. When this happens the existing objects are not removed first. So the display results in duplicate, triplicate, etc objects in the display. Thanks, Shelley

Talk about frustrating! It still seems like the items inside of the
state I changed to aren't ready before I try to manipulate them. Or
something, I don't know? Do you suppose I need to setup some listener on
the state that says, once the state is fully loaded, then run the state
manipulation code? Maybe I'll try something like that.
Thanks again.

In the above code I am waiting for my custom event READY to fire
before I
start referencing it in the parent.
This is something I did before modules was included in the framework
so
there might be some duplication ?? Have you looked at modules?
Hope that helps.
Cheers

[flexcoders] Trouble retrieving embedded cuePoints with Flex VideoDisplay
I'm having trouble retrieving the cuePoints that are embedded in an .flv file. Looking at the .flv itself, I can see the cuePoints with a name (and type navigation) near the beginning of the file but I can't seem to access these with videoDisplay.cuePoints or videoDisplay.cuePointManager.getCuePoints() I have mx:VideoDisplay id='videoDisplay' cuePointManagerClass=mx.controls.videoClasses.CuePointManager cuePoint='cpHandler(event)'/ Further proof that the cuePoints exist: the cuePoint events are being fired. I want to get at the cuePoint array in order to build a navigator so that users can click to leap to those cuePoints. Anyone having any luck accessing embedded cuePoints?
Re: [flexcoders] Re: simulate datagrid header click, or set default sort column
OK, this was easier than anticipated. I didn't realise the DataGrid would detect the sort on the ArrayCollection and update it's sort arrow based on this. My code: import mx.collections.Sort; import mx.collections.SortField; var s:Sort = new Sort(); s.fields = [new SortField(transaction_date,false,true)]; dataProvider.sort = s; dataProvider.refresh(); Thanks for your advice. By the way, I don't really understand what you mean about sorting dates as strings. When I load my data I create date objects from my strings, and the datagrid/sort classes sort it all correctly. Although I do understand your labelFunction point.

Alternatively, you could detach your custom sort whenever a different header is clicked (meaning resetting the sort property of the collection) - but I think you can have much more control doing your own. Also keep in mind, if you have any columns with calculated fields (meaning the dataField value is different than what is displayed), you may need a custom sort anyway (try sorting dates as strings... and you see what I mean) Iko --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Adam Royle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, thanks for your response. Haven't tried this yet, but will do. Just a quick question, if I use do the way you recommend with a custom sort object, can the user still use the headers to change the sort column/direction? This is what I want.

If it was the previous sort column a header release event will reverse the sort order, if it was not the last column, it will reuse the same sort order that it had when it was last used - in some cases you may end up dispatching the header release twice, to get the desired sort order, and you can see... this is not a good solution ;-) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, iko_knyphausen iko@ wrote: I just went through the same exercise, and ended up using the recommended method, which is creating your own Sort object... The basic working is to 1. take a collection (either arraycollection or xmllistcollection) as dataprovider 2. define a Sort object for it (you do this by creating SortFields and putting them into the fields array of the Sort object) 3. execute a Refresh on your collection If you trigger your sort via HeaderRelease events, you should call preventDefault() in that handler so that only your sort gets executed. You can find code samples if you look in the docs (the example I used was about sorting multiple columns at the same time) HTH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Robert Chyko rchyko@ wrote: One thing to look at would be dispatch a HEADER_RELEASE event on the datagrid.

I have my data sorted in a dataProvider, however whenever I add new data I add it to the end of the ArrayCollection. However this means the datagrid is no longer sorted correctly. I wish I could execute the private method sortByColumn() that exists in the DataGrid class, but it's private!! Anyone with a solution? I have tried subclassing and also copying code directly, but the sortByColumn method uses private variables, so I'm stuck again. Can anyone suggest a solution to my problem? Cheers, Adam
