[flexcoders] Using a Sprite for custom mouse-cursor
Hi, all. I can change my application mouse-cursor using CursorManager.setCursor(), I know. And the Adobe document for CursorManager says that You can use a JPEG, GIF, PNG, or SVG image, a Sprite object, or a SWF file as the cursor image. However, the setCursor(), the only method by which I can specify a cursor image, requires an argument of 'Class' type. I intend to use a Sprite object, of which content is drawn programatically, as my cursor image. But Sprite *is not* Class, isn't it? How can I do? Is it possible? Thank you in advance for your help.

[flexcoders] Re: passing data to an EventListener
This is a case where you typically want to create a custom button component, say myButton. After you create an instance of myButton you pass any info you want it to hold, like the i parameter. When myButton is clicked it emmits a custom Event (create a subclass of flash.event.Event) that holds the i parameter. You listen for you custom event (not click) and once that is fired you pick up the i parameter from your custom Event object, that comes as an argument to your listener function. Or you may want to avoid creating custom Event: listen for Click and pick up the i parameter stored within the myButton instance: event.target.i I guess there are other ways as well, but I think the ones above are the 'cleaner' design-wise.
[flexcoders] About WSDL load error

[flexcoders] Re: Programmatically create MovieClip frames?
Thanks Jason, Troy, and Paul, for all your help/feedback. Jason, I can't think of a use case for adding frames to a MovieClip either. Unless of course, you wanted to have animations that you could control with AS3, but didn't have access to the Flash CS3 preview. Though, now that I think about it, it seems like there are some interesting possibilities for dynamically generated animations. Imagine a 'community' site that invited users to create their own animated avatars... or a video game in which the player designs his or her own character... or collaborative animation project in which different artists are creating different parts, maybe even individual frames of an animated sequence... or where a lead animator is creating the key frames, and 'tweeners' are creating the in between frames... you could even track and control this CVS-like, without having to pass around/merge FLAs. Maybe these are pretty abstract, I know... I thought of them just now. The point is, I personally don't WANT to add frames to a MovieClip. But I don't have access to the Flash CS3 preview, and so I was wondering if it was possible to generate AS3/AVM2 MovieClips, in some other way. MovieClip.appendFrame() seems like it'd be easier than the method Troy describes of creating a custom AnimatedSprite class, which will eventually have all or most of the methods of a MovieClip... at least, the timeline control methods. Basically, if I were having this problem 20 days from now... I wouldn't be having this problem. You're right, I'd just make the MovieClips in Flash CS3, export the library into a SWC, and use them from there in my Flex app as I wanted. That would definately be the easiest way. Luckily, I foresaw this problem pretty early on in the project, so I have plenty of time to work on other things while I figure out the best way to handle this... maybe the other things will even take me until the end of April and I won't have this problem at all. In anycase, I appreciate all your help, and offers to help. If it turns out that I need someone to make me a SWF with a few blank frames somewhere down the line, I'll definately be hitting one of you guys up for that. Other than that, I think we can call this discussion closed. Unless someone has more information about it. Although, and maybe this is a seperate post/question in itself, I thought I once heard about being able to control/communicate with AVM1Movies once the new version of Flash came out... I guess that's not happening? NO DYNAMICALLY ADDING FRAMES TO MOVIE CLIPS!! Got it. Thanks all, //Matt --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Troy Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okay, how about the simple scenario where you want the playback of a series of frames of animation... you know, exactly what a movie clip does? I could definitely do this by creating a class that extends sprite and in that class keeping an array of shapes (or sprites) and each ENTER_FRAME event moving my virtual playhead forward to the next sprite, etc., etc... And you know what I'd get? A MovieClip! Looks like Adobe already wrote that one! ;-) Seriously, though, the problem is not that you can't programmatically edit a MovieClip, it's that Adobe's docs don't make it clear why you wouldn't want to do that... because the MovieClip is a much more complicated beast that stores tween details, etc., that aren't exposed in the API (details you'd be familiar with if you've ever attempt to generate SWF's from scratch in an open-source tool like I did back in the Flash 4 days). The docs describe MovieClips as basically sprites with timelines... which would lead one to think, hey, sprite is great, but I need a timeline 'cause I got some animation, so I must need a MovieClip! I know this because I went down the same route. What I ended up doing was basically creating an AnimatedSprite class... it has a currentFrame property, and list of frames (which, in my case, are BitmapData's). Each frame it increments currentFrame and updates its display list to include the appropriate bitmapData. Pretty simple stuff... So, to address the original poster: MovieClip is just a mirage! Think of it like its got a scarier name like CompiledSWF and treat it like a blackbox. It'll make your life easier. Troy.

In HTML you can call a function when the page loads. OnLoad() if I remember
correctly. What i want to do is call a function in Flex and have it
automatically call and calculate all the fields within this function i.e
. CostCalc(). At the moment when I change a mx:TextInput I have an change
attribute which calls the costCalc() i.e. mx:TextInput change=CostCalc() It
goes out and recalculates all the fields again. SO here lies my issue. How do I
call that function and make it like someone has changed a value in the
TextInput box?
Does that make more sense?
Worse case scenario is
I'll just populate the fields with the correct data rather then trying to
calculate it. I just wanted to know if it can be done like in Javascript/HTML.
Thanks in advanced!

Howdy again.
The flex application that I'm building is really quite simple which is good
cause I'm learning flex. However that said.. in html we have onLoad() which we
put on a page. I have built a function called CostCalc() everytime someone
changes a field it will recalculate each field. I got that working perfectly.
However, when I first load the page up with values every value in the form is
0.00 until I make a change to a field. I know that
in flex we have creationComplete= onCreationCompl ete(event) ; but when I
put in the function call CostCalc() it doesn't seem to work. Below is the code.

Hi All,
I faced a problem When I was having a look on MenuControl Example

The problem is that When I select any of the menu item, the event is

Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how can i stop this by
executing the event twice?
Pls suggest something..

Re: [flexcoders] passing data to an EventListener
You can use the data property, which is normally used in combination with item
renderers or item editors, but nothing says you can't
use it for something else ;-)
import mx.controls.Button;

var offset:Number = 0;

var b:Button = new Button();
b.data = {btnIndex:i};

b.label = click me;
b.toolTip = button +i;
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
addChild(b);
offset+=20;
}
}

Subject: [flexcoders] passing data to an EventListener
I'm creating a number of buttons programmatically and I'd like to have
a unique value passed along to a function when each one is clicked.
So if I am doing something like:
for (i=0;i10;i++) {
b = new Button();
b.y = offset;
b.label = click me;
b.tooltip = button +i;
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, butSelect);
addChild(b);
offset+=20;
}
And I want to have, let's say, i passed along to the butSelect
function, how is that done? I humored myself and tried doing
butSelect(i) but of course the mouseEvent is passed and you're not
allowed to provide any parameters to the function.
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Center alignment problem
The popup scenario is not what the client is looking for.
The second option you gave me, does not work either. Instead it puts
the box in the upper left of the screen, and all the items within the
box appear one on top of another. So the items are in the center of
the box, with the username label appearing first, then below it the
password label, then below that the username text input box, so on and
so forth.
I could really use some sugestions on how to get this to work.

[flexcoders] Re: Center alignment problem
OK I figured it out. Basically verticalalign and horizontal align are
for the children of the class not the class itself, which was what was
throwing me off.
So I created a custom component based on the box, as the other poster
said, THEN I placed inside the box element a panel, which contained my
login labels, and input text boxes etc.
In the viewstack when I instantiated my box element, I set it up with
vertical and horizontal alignments so that the PANEL inside it showed
up in the middle.
Also the boxs' width and hieght were both 100% of the viewstack.
For future reference.
Thanks to all who helped.

maxWidth=800
selectedChild={getView(false)} id=myViewStack
view:LoggedInView id=LoggedInView /
view:loginPanel id=LoginView /
/mx:ViewStack
So I want to have the loginPanel displayed in the center of the
available real estate, regardless of screen real estate, (some
viewers
might be 1024x 768 and some might be 800 x 600) is there anyway to
automatically center the loginPanel component in the parent view
stack?
Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: TextArea htmltext parsing
No matter what you do to keep the formatting you still need the words in a plain text to run through your spell checker. Using the text property saves all the hassle of removing the html formatting. Thanks Adobe! Things like bappli/bcation come back correctly as one word. When I get the plain text i run this regex /\b\w+/gi; to parse out all the words. Removes punctuations and such, parsing just on spaces won't do. It's not 100% perfect but can finetune later. Once I know a word is not spelled correctly against my master word list and have the user's corrected spelling, i go find it in the htmlText and weave it in. The only thing that does NOT work really well is when a word is formatted differently in itself such as bappli/bcation. I currently lose that the first 5 letters are bolded... oh well. Can fix later. What i've found most difficult is the UI to highlight the word so a user has context. For now i'm just using the setSelection since i'm spell checking on TextAreas only. Not sure how you are doing suggestive words but havn't firgured that out yet, no algorithm. I'm loading a 120,000 word list into an array collection :)! I'm quite impressed how fast it is, loads in milleseconds when i split my text file on \r\n. Using the build in contains to validate each word. It's faster than calling any other web service. Would like to know what you are doing for suggestive words. --Scott --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, jmfillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ultimately I'm wanting to find each word to check the spelling, while maintaining the HTML formatting of the TextArea.

Is it possible (and in a simple way) to both enable dragging objects from outside the tree (be it from lists or custom dragSources) and reordering items within the tree itself as is it's default behavior with DragMoveEnabled on? The problem is that when I create custom handlers to deal with external dragging and dropping I override the default behavior, and so far, have not been able to activate it when required... Any ideas? Tiago
[flexcoders] rendering checkboxes with as3 instead of mxml?
there is probably a super basic solution to this but i cant seem to
find any information on making checkboxes with actionscript instead
of laying them out with a repeater in mxml
Here's my problem...
I want to make checkboxes, in mxml the click event is triggered on
toggle.
So if I had laid it out in mxml it would look like this:
mx:CheckBox id=cbox selected={myChoice.currentItem.selected}
label={myChoice.currentItem.label} click=updateFld(event); /
However, I am doing it through actionscript so I have this:
var cbox:CheckBox = new CheckBox();
cbox.selected = myChoice.currentItem.selected;
cbox.label = myChoice.currentItem.label;
labelPanel.addChild(cbox);
The problem comes in when I want to add functionality on toggle.
I can't type cbox.click = updateFld and I'm not sure what events I
can listen for on it.
Little help on how to handle this?

[flexcoders] Re: Make a component 'modal'
That would work, but it would only disable controls, not give the
greyed out look to the rest of the screen, like the popups do. I
suppose I could do like you say, but instead have the style changed
for the other components...
but I'm really hoping there's some way to create a magic function
like:
public static function strongFocus(control:DisplayObject):void
{
...
}
that I can call from anywhere and it will grey out and disable mouse
interaction with everything on the stage but the control passed in.
Am I hoping for too much?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Make a component 'modal'
I don't know as much about Flex architecture yet - just the basics, but
I know in Flash 8 the PopupWindow component, when not enabled, is
completely modal. I used that a lot for achieving modal windows. Don't
know if that helps any in this case... I know you're looking to make
your own component model - perhaps you could extend a Flex modal

[flexcoders] Dispatching Event Question?
Hello, Question on disipatching events that I hope someone can clear up... I have two custom components, A and B created at the Application level. I want to send a custom event from A to B. Inside of B creationComplete, I have addEventListener(myEvent, myBListenerFunc); Inside of A, on a button click, I dispatchEvent(new Event(myEvent)) Obviously I would like the function on B, myBListenerFunc() to be called, but is not. I'm sure I can do this without having to tell B that A is the dispatcher (in B, A.addEventListner(myEvent,myBListnerFunc);) Thanks, Paul

[flexcoders] Re: Make a component 'modal'
The problem is that I don't want to pop up a new control or create a
custom control every time I want this effect. Instead, I want to
apply an effect to an existing control (that could be any control).
An example usage would be to make sure the user completes an
operation before navigating somewhere else or performing a
conflicting action. Also, it would focus the user on what portion of
the screen is relevant at the moment.

Stupid Outlook hotkeys. What I meant to say was:

Where file was the complete file object on the result which had all the

99% of what you want to do can be accomplished, the only thing that i see is
the blur effect that you want. I am sure it can be done, but it will not be
an easy task.
If most of what the user has to do is entering data into forms you can use
the built in validators to 'highlight' invalid entries.

Re: [flexcoders] Dispatching Event Question?
When you are adding an event listener the only thing that tells who is to dispatch the event is who's addEventListener() is called. I mean if you are calling addEventListener(...) this means that you are listening to 'this' that will dispatch the event. If a.addEventListener(...) then 'a' will dispatch it. What you need is smth like: instanceOfA.addEventListener(myEvent, myBListenerFunc); inside of the B instance. R.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Make a component 'modal'
another option would be to remove the component from the displaylist, swap in a spacer component that was the same size, then use the PopUpManager to redisplay your component, place it in the exact pixel location it was before and make it a modal popup. Then when you want to give focus back to the entire app you swap it back into the displaylist of whatever container it was originally in. Not sure how well this would work, but in theory if you calculate the pixel values exactly, the user might not notice anything's happening.

[flexcoders] Re: TextArea htmltext parsing
I like what they've done here: http://www.flextendibles.com/DemoSpellChecker.html however, I really don't want to add a J2EE App Server to what I have to support. The fewer things I have to keep running, the better. I'm already using PHP, MySQL, and WebORB, not that they are difficult, but the more you add, the bigger the chance for problems. I've hired a guy to help me write a PHP spelling function, but the html stuff really makes it quite slow. He's got it stripping out the html quite nicely, my biggest issue is the speed. Tags inside words is a whole other problem that I don't have an answer for. I really want to provide the functionality of the RichTextEditor to my users, but what good are these things if you can't easily check the spelling? It'd be ideal if Flex 3 included a robust spell checking capability. It would seem to fit the overall theme of RIA's. What good is a Word Processing app, for example, if you have to create a bunch of less than ideal processes to check spelling? Getting down off the soap box, I have to find an effective way of doing this. I still want to send it to PHP because I can get a more robust spell check, but I believe that I need to handle the html text manipulation in Flex, to make it fast, and only send PHP a single word at a time.

Re: [flexcoders] How do I read Response after FileReference uploads a file?
I did something similar. Before the upload I get a token, I pass that token on the querystring of the upload. Once complete I use that token to get info about the upload. I also use this token for authentication purposes. We have had a lot of trouble with file uploads not sharing sessions with all of the other requests in the app. Another advantage to the token is we have a queue of files that the user is uploading from in the app. With the token we don't have to retrieve the response data right away, or it can be ignored altogether. We also expire the tokens after a certain period of time because we do use them for auth as well. Anyway, it's probably overkill for your project, but I thought I'd share.

This, in my case, will most likely be a 2-part affair. The user will enter a comment into a text area as provided by the RTE, and that data will be dumped into a sql/mysql db, and I will run a CF script that passes me back (i.e., creates when invoked by the administrator - me) an xml file that I can use HTTPService to load in the data into a TextArea...I think...I'm still learning. My core question today, if I'm even on the right track, is...how do I populate the db, and get it back into the xml file, in the sense that I think I'd need to wrap the users' input around CDATA areas within the generated xml (that's my guess)? In other words, how do I populate the database, not with hi there, nice pic, but instead with bhi there/b,inice pic!!!/i and pass THAT into the generated xml file, andback out to a TextArea component? I do have an XML generating file in CF that someone got me started on, to read values in the db and pass me back a proper xml file (and it works like a charm so far!), but it's pretty simple at this stage. I can't even show it because my server is in for configuration with Win Server2003SBS...and all my files are on it... If my approach doesn't make sense, let me say, I'm doing most of the db work as the owner (creating and updating galleries, images, photo data etc.), and spitting out xml files for the client to upload, to minimize actual client db access (and, I believe, reduce wear and tear on my equipment, i.e., spitting out XML files seems less intensive on my machine than having users constantly accessing the same db...caching issues being a problem I'll deal with when I get to them). But this is one of the cases where I DO seem to need to allow a user access to the db itself - to enter a blog/comment. Any guidance would be appreciated. I know part of the answer is: you're doing it wrong, use a CRUD CFC and shove it somewhere offsite so you can validate it yourself before allowing it onto the site, but I haven't been able to figure those things out yet...and if anyone would be willing to teach me that (Build a CRUD CFC and get it working, all 4 operations, in Flex), just for demonstration purposes, I'd be willing to pay for it, because I really need to learn this stuff for my gallery (I'm a photographer/designer, not yet a developer).

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Programmatically create MovieClip frames?
In the case where users would create their own animations on a web site, injecting frames at runtime with content dynamically into a .swf would not be the way to do it. You would want to control the animation with Actionscript. Adding that ability to the player would add unecessary overhead while not solving any real-world problem. Even on collaborative projects, where would the animation content live that would be injected? On collaborative projects, each animator can create their own .swfs and then a programmer loads them all in where they like into a central .swf. You had asked for someone to create a Flash 9 .swf for you with some blank frames, but I don't see what that would solve since you would still need to inject the content of the animation. Sorry, still just trying to understand why this would be useful...

Thanks Jason, Troy, and Paul, for all your help/feedback. Jason, I can't think of a use case for adding frames to a MovieClip either. Unless of course, you wanted to have animations that you could control with AS3, but didn't have access to the Flash CS3 preview. Though, now that I think about it, it seems like there are some interesting possibilities for dynamically generated animations. Imagine a 'community' site that invited users to create their own animated avatars... or a video game in which the player designs his or her own character... or collaborative animation project in which different artists are creating different parts, maybe even individual frames of an animated sequence... or where a lead animator is creating the key frames, and 'tweeners' are creating the in between frames... you could even track and control this CVS-like, without having to pass around/merge FLAs. Maybe these are pretty abstract, I know... I thought of them just now. The point is, I personally don't WANT to add frames to a MovieClip. But I don't have access to the Flash CS3 preview, and so I was wondering if it was possible to generate AS3/AVM2 MovieClips, in some other way. MovieClip.appendFrame() seems like it'd be easier than the method Troy describes of creating a custom AnimatedSprite class, which will eventually have all or most of the methods of a MovieClip... at least, the timeline control methods. Basically, if I were having this problem 20 days from now... I wouldn't be having this problem. You're right, I'd just make the MovieClips in Flash CS3, export the library into a SWC, and use them from there in my Flex app as I wanted. That would definately be the easiest way. Luckily, I foresaw this problem pretty early on in the project, so I have plenty of time to work on other things while I figure out the best way to handle this... maybe the other things will even take me until the end of April and I won't have this problem at all. In anycase, I appreciate all your help, and offers to help. If it turns out that I need someone to make me a SWF with a few blank frames somewhere down the line, I'll definately be hitting one of you guys up for that. Other than that, I think we can call this discussion closed. Unless someone has more information about it. Although, and maybe this is a seperate post/question in itself, I thought I once heard about being able to control/communicate with AVM1Movies once the new version of Flash came out...

Subject: [flexcoders] passing data to an EventListener
I'm creating a number of buttons programmatically and I'd like to have
a unique value passed along to a function when each one is clicked.
So if I am doing something like:
for (i=0;i10;i++) {
b = new Button();
b.y = offset;
b.label = click me;
b.tooltip = button +i;
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, butSelect);
addChild(b);
offset+=20;
}
And I want to have, let's say, i passed along to the butSelect
function, how is that done? I humored myself and tried doing
butSelect(i) but of course the mouseEvent is passed and you're not
allowed to provide any parameters to the function.
Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Issues with Datagrid non repeatinh HTTPService XML Result.
I think you will be happy with HTTPService.
Specify resultFormat=e4x in the HTTPService tag, otherwise flex
converts the xml into an nested mx:Object structure. I find e4x XML
much easier to work with.
Don't bind directly to lastResult. It is too hard to debug. Instead use
a result handler, and set an instance variable value(XMLListCollection)
to event.result.STAFFREC in that, and bind the DataGrid dp to the
instance variable. In the handler, you can trace the instance
variable.toXMLString() to see exactly what yo have, and how to set the
DataGridColumn dataField or labelFunction.
I've written sample code tor this so many times I don't want to do it
again right now, but post if you need more detail.

Result.
I have a flex DBGrid client that was supposed to consume a web

switched to HTTPService and this was returning xml results.
But when DBGrid accepts the results they are all listed ONLY in row 1

[flexcoders] Re: Dispatching Event Question?
Hi Paul ,
I'm not 100% sure about this but ..
How about ..
Application.application.addEventListener(..) ?
This should get caught if the Event bubbles ( bubbles = true ) .. If
not then you can
specify a specific listener and then re-dispatch the event with bubbles
= true ..
eg:
function catchEvent(e:Event)
{
var myE:Event = new Event(e,true);
dispatch(myE);
}

[flexcoders] Re: Make a component 'modal'
Hey guys, thanks for the additional suggestions.
I'm thinking reparenting might involve working through some layout
issues, but would probably work.
Alex, I assume you mean I should use popupmanager to popup a new
instance of the component and set its location to be on top of first
instance? What if I want to set focus to an arbitrary box that
contains several components - i.e. something arbitrary that I can't
create a new instance of?
Is there some way to make a popup display an existing displayobject
that I'm not aware of?
Thanks again!

That would work, but it would only disable controls, not give the

suppose I could do like you say, but instead have the style
changed
for the other components...
but I'm really hoping there's some way to create a magic function
like:
public static function strongFocus(control:DisplayObject):void
{
...
}
that I can call from anywhere and it will grey out and disable
mouse
interaction with everything on the stage but the control passed
in.
Am I hoping for too much?

Either way, that should accomplish what you are describing.

My problem is to position the tooltip because the way I was doing is

I used the global coordinates and for the first field works good, but
for the second not.
somebody could explain better how to use the global coordinates with

I'm having the same issue, but only when switching between other
application, using Alt-Tab.
I've tried the mydatagrid.validateDisplayList(); but isn't that the
same as doing mydatagrid..invalidateList(); ?
I really need some help.
Thanks

I have been struggling with this issue for about 2 weeks. I was able
to reproduce it in a small example. I add and remove an itemRenderer
to a datagrid column at run-time. This only won't cause the RTE but
I
also set the datagrids dataProvider again which causes the error.
You
will need the Flash Player Debug version to actually see the error.

[flexcoders] Finding the position of a given character inside a TextArea
Hi all, Is there a way to determine the position ( coordinates ) of a given character ( by index ) inside a textarea?? TextLineMetrics falls short... thx ;) -- : Aldo Bucchi : mobile (56) 8 429 8300
[flexcoders] Re: Opening file after download
You may need to involve the server to accomplish this. I typically get this behavior by streaming content through a server side page that sets the Content-Disposition header to attachment; filename=someFile.txt. That header is what lets the browser know it should display the [Save][Open] dialog. Ont the Flex side, I just invoke the server-side page with navigateToURL().

What IE/FF provides is the ability to open after download, is there any way to replicate that behavior???

Re: [flexcoders] Finding the position of a given character inside a TextArea
TextField has a function getCharBoundries() which returns the location/width/height/etc of a single character within a textfield. You can gain access to the textField inside a TextArea by extending the TextArea (or calling mx_internal::getTextField()). - Dan Freiman On 30 Mar 2007 11:07:32 -0700, Aldo Bucchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Is there a way to determine the position ( coordinates ) of a given character ( by index ) inside a textarea??

[flexcoders] Synchronized access to ArrayCollection ?
Hello flexcoders I'm relatively new to flex and ActionScript. I need some help with the following problem. I've an ActionScript ArrayCollection which is shared between a Consumer(which wakes up on a flash.Utils.TimerEvent and reads the collection) and a Producer(which writes to the same collection, based on a user interaction event). What would be the easiest way to synchronize access to this collection in Actionscript ? Thanks Kumaran
[flexcoders] Crash VM -- tree with form
Odd problem. This crashes the VM. I have stripped this down as far as I could and still don't see why. There are two files: ?xml version=1.0? mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; xmlns=view.* MyTree/ /mx:Application And, in view/MyTree.xml: ?xml version=1.0? mx:VBox width=100% height=100% xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; mx:Tree labelField=@label showRoot=true width=160 mx:XMLListCollection id=MailBox mx:XMLList folder label=Mail /folder /mx:XMLList /mx:XMLListCollection /mx:Tree mx:Form mx:FormItem label=Owner mx:TextInput id=owner width=200/ /mx:FormItem /mx:Form /mx:VBox If I remove the tree or change the id=owner to id=owner2 it works fine. This is Windows with Flex 2.0.1 SDK. Thanks.
Re: [flexcoders] Aligning LineCharts in a VBox
Figured it out myself (for once). Once I set the gutterLeft gutterRight properties to the same value for each of the charts everything lined up perfectly. mr19 wrote: I have two LineCharts in a VBox using the same data for the horizontalAxis. I would like the horizontal axis ticks on the two charts to line up. I have been unable to do this due to the vertical axis labels being of different length and the top chart using a secondVerticalAxis. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried using the width attributes without any luck.
