[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid tab order?
We had trouble before with having both an item renderer and an item editor for a column (which we need to have that checkbox column), so instead what I tried was simply having only itemrenderers for the controls (and updating the data on change of the itemrenderer controls) This seems to fix the default tab order, but there are still some issues with the tab order, namely: 1. Tabbing through the grid only traverses visible rows - how can a user navigate to scrolled-out rows using the keyboard? 2. Sorting the grid doesn't seem to sort the taborder - the rows are still traversed in the original order. (Strangely, reassigning a headerRenderer after the sorting sets the correct tab order - I found this by accident) 3. Tabbing into the grid from an outside control - looks like it remembers where the grid was last traversed and starts over from there. Is it possible to change it to always enter the grid from the first row? 4. I'm not sure of the behavior exactly, as I couldn't replicate it all the time, but tabbing into the grid after it has been mouse-scrolled seems to cause it to enter at different rows. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sounds like editable!=true, so the DG's tab handling code isn't running.

The problem is I have a datagrid with 3 columns: column 1 - renderer is a checkbox control. I use onchange of the checkbox to update the underlying data column 2 - normal text column, editor is a editbox column 3 - checkbox, similar to column 1 Using tab to traverse the datagrid has weird behavior, i.e. first it seems to traverse all the column 2 editboxes (top rows first then bottom rows); then it traverses the checkboxes in each row (starting from top row again); after it has traversed everything, the tab order seems random now - it jumps around from editbox to checkbox or whatever. Is it because of the way the actual renderer/editor instances are created? Is there something I should be specifying to guarantee a nice, left-to-right top-to-bottom tab order? Thanks, Roy
[flexcoders] Flex transition won't affect a component with children .
Hello all, I had a problem with transitions which I isolated into a
very simple case:
I have a VBox with a text label and a button.
When user clicks the button, the current state changes into a new
state in which new component is added to my VBox which I expect to
grow smoothly.
This new component is just a canvas with a label.
The child canvas is added but it appears without a transition.
This is when the component is defined in a separate mxml file, BUT, if
I define the exact same component, inline in the state definition, it
works just as I expected. I then went to the component mxml and
deleted the label leaving it to be a simple canvas and it works. it
seems that whatever is added to the component when it's defined in a
separate file will disable the transition.
This is the main mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute xmlns:local=*
mx:states
mx:State name=myState
mx:AddChild relativeTo={container}
!--
mx:Canvas backgroundColor=0x678080
mx:Label text=I'm the new component,
did I came in smoothly ? /
/mx:Canvas
--
local:MyComp /
/mx:AddChild
/mx:State
/mx:states
mx:transitions
mx:Transition fromState=* toState=*
mx:Sequence target={container}
mx:Resize /
/mx:Sequence
/mx:Transition
/mx:transitions
mx:VBox id=container backgroundColor=0xFF
mx:Label text=Some text goes here /
mx:Button label=click me to add new component
click=currentState
= 'myState' /
/mx:VBox
/mx:Application
And this is the very-simple component:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Canvas backgroundColor=0x678080
xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:Label text=I'm the new component, did I came in smoothly ? /
/mx:Canvas
Notice that if you comment the component definition in the state and
uncomment the same exact inline-component definition , it works great.
Thanks a lot !

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Event result not making sense
Hi all, Today I was stumbled upon the same situation, it is true that event handler for focusOut event is triggered twice for mx:TextInput component. Checked event.target property and it is equal to the internal textfield of mx:TextInput component of UITextField type both times, so this property cannot help us here to differentiate between 2 calls. What I found helpful is event.relatedObject property. During first call to FocusOut event handler it is equal to UITextField internal textfield, during second call is equal to NULL. Great, now we can differentiate between 2 calls -- -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Andriy Panas [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 17/11/2007, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe the internal textfield is sending one.

[flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 Gotcha
Hi all, I'm sure that people are aware of this, but it's done my head in for the last few days. Basically I've been working on two machines, my office machine and my laptop developing the same app. What has been happening is that as I copy files back and forth Flex Builder loses code hints and colouring within Script tags. After some messing around I've discovered that EVEN IF FLEX BUILDER IS CLOSED if you overwrite a file that was open in the workspace this bug occurs. I guess it's something to do with the way the workspace configuration is saved. The workaround I've found is to close all the files in Flex Builder. Close Flex Builder, overwrite the files again. Once you've done this, re-open Flex Builder, open the affected file and - yay - code hints and colouring are back. Probably not such a biggie for all you flex gurus, but working this out has helped me a lot. Tim

Transition won't affect a component with children...:|
Hello all, I had a problem with transitions which I isolated into a very simple
case:
I have a VBox with a text label and a button.
When user clicks the button, the current state changes into a new state in
which new component is added to my VBox which I expect to grow smoothly.
This new component is just a canvas with a label.
The child canvas is added but it appears without a transition.
This is when the component is defined in a separate mxml file, BUT, if I define
the exact same component, inline in the state definition, it works just as I
expeted. I then went to the component mxml and deleted the label leaving it to
be a simple canvas and it works. it seems that whatever is added to the
component when it's defined in a separate file will disable the transition.
This is the main mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:states
mx:State name=myState
mx:AddChild relativeTo={container}

[flexcoders] Transition when reverting to the base state

(Note: I've also embedded a font to allow the Fade effect to work
properly)

Hello all, I am trying to get access the content area of a panel as I would like to skin it relative to the panel's content area. I am referring to that box of white space underneath the title bar. From the docs it says: A Panel ../langref/mx/containers/Panel.html layout container includes a title bar, a title, a status message area (in the title bar), a border, and a content area for its children But I can't find a reference in the API how to get the x,y, width and height of the actual content area container where the panel's children reside. Any guidance would be appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: interesting error:one event listerner can receive different event?
Please do not double post, if someone can help you they will answer.
The reason you're seeing that behavior is because event listeners are
solely based on the string that your event type evaluates to. So the
following 3 lines are equivalent:
addEventListener(AnswerController.SEARCH_ANSWER_ON_QUESTION, funcOne);
addEventListener(RoamerController.SEARCH_ANSWER_ON_QUESTION, funcTwo);
addEventListener(searchAnswerOnQuestion, funcThree);
As a result, any of the following would trigger all 3 functions:
dispatchEvent(new EventOne(AnswerController.SEARCH_ANSWER_ON_QUESTION));
or
dispatchEvent(new EventTwo(RoamerController.SEARCH_ANSWER_ON_QUESTION));
or
dispatchEvent(new Event(searchAnswerOnQuestion));
In general I would recommend against having your event types
duplicated but if its unavoidable or you don't want to change it you
can just put an if(event is EventTypeWanted) at the top of the
listener (or Command in this case).
HTH,
Ben

Thanks for the tip! I had this happen to me (about the fourth file it has happened on) once again this morning, but I long ago resolved myself the the fact that I had to live with it (at a lower productivity rate when working with that file) as I had tried most things I could think of (even deleting the file in Flex Builder and creating a new file with the same name didn't fix the issue).

Subject: [flexcoders] error 1006: value not a function; on effect.play()
I'm getting this error while trying to call play() on a glow effect
I've created. I'm trying to call play() from within a function that is
called as a result of a bindable value being changed. Basically I have
a data model with bindable data and a Label which displays the data.
When the data changes, I'm trying to play the glow effect on the label
to highlight the change. What am I doing wrong?
All these objects are defined in the same .mxml file. Relevant
snippets are :
myNS:Order id=order
...
(inside script tag)
public function getQtyDisplay(currentQty:int, maxQty:int):String {
var result:String = currentQty+(+maxQty+);
qtyGlow.play();
}
...
mx:Glow id=qtyGlow target=qtyDisplay color=0x99FF66/
...
mx:Label id=qtyDisplay text={getQtyDisplay(order.currentQty,
order.maxQty)}/
The getQtyDisplay() function works fine w/out the play() call. After I
added it I started getting this error, so I wrapped the play() call in
a try/catch block.
RE: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 Gotcha
Even then I've still found the loss of autocomplete/colouring to occur sometimes. I've not yet managed to work out the circumstances that cause it (for me, at least), mainly since it only happens once in a while and I can life with it.

[flexcoders] Problems with a Tree and dynamic data provider
Hi,
I'm new to Flex and to the group. I came here because I am having
problems with a Tree control and a dynamic data provider.
The problem is that everytime I try to expand a branch with no children
the application crashes with a #1009 error. Is it the expected
behaviour? I don't know how to fix it or if there is something wrong
with my code that produce this bug.
Also which one is the best strategy to remove nodes from this Tree.

[flexcoders] Styles for the Title Bar of a TitleWindow or Panel
I've been having great fun recently writing some programmatic skin classes to skin my Components. And I've moved onto the TitleWindow. I've written classes for the titleBackgroundSkin and also for the closeButtonSkin. Now I've been fine tuning the look and feel by adjusting the styles. Realising that it extends Panel I've been looking there when I cant find styles that have the required effect. But there's one thing I just can't figure out. How can I adjust the margin/padding or whatever for the text on the TitleBar and also for the Close Button. The default position places them both about 12 pixels from the left and right edges of the TitleWindow. Ideally I'd like them to be inline with the content of the window. If anyone has quick answer to this problem I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise I'm left with continuing with trial and lots of error.
Re: [flexcoders] nested repeater from XML data
I haven't time to redo your example - check out nested repeaters in the
docs.
Th ebasic problem is that your repeaters aren't tied to one another.
repeater 2 should be using repeater 1 as it's source, something like:
mx:Repeater id=Repeater2 dataProvider={repeater1.currentItem.article}

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reflection -- Accessing private fields
Well no, I don't think you can. But why would you need to? Classes (for the most part) are meant to be static. What is the end all result you're trying to achieve? Will the interface be dynamic as well? Perhaps you could achieve the same goal with dynamic objects and the memento pattern. This is generally the preferred method if you are just trying to save state.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Application container failed to capture KeyboardEvent
I know this is a long-standing issue, but are there any developments in the
works to prevent this sort of behaviour? I know there are work-arounds to
Flash being able to obtain focus programmatically, such as using
ExternalInterface calls from Javascript to pass keyboard events. However,

[flexcoders] Flex 3 Beta 2 Expires in 4 days
I was recently forced to upgrade from Flex 2 to Flex 3 because of a bug in Flex 2 that was fixed in Flex 3 that was affecting a couple of projects I'm working on. Flex 3 Beta 2 has been great, however it looks like it's set to expire in 4 days (not sure if that's just my machine or a fixed date for all beta 2). The problem is, I can't buy Flex 3 (yet), and I don't see a new beta/version of Flex 3 with a later expiration date. What can I do to keep developing in Flex 3? I purchased Flex 2 last year and I have that serial, but I'm not sure if Flex 3 will accept it. Will there be another beta update before the current one expires?

[flexcoders] StrikeIron Address Verification Flex
Is anyone out there using Flex with StrikeIron OR using a web service
that uses ENUMS? I am having a specific problem that I can't seem to
resolve. I would love some insight from anyone who may have
experience with Webservices. Thanks!
Here is the problem code:
I am trying to load the webservice which verifies an address against
the USPS database. My other StrikeIron webservices work fine, BUT
thus don't contain enums in the webservice.
WSDL: http://ws.strikeiron.com/USAddressVerification4_0?WSDL
var params: Object = new Object();
params.addressLine1 = 215 W 91st St;
params.addressLine2 = Apt 82;
params.city_state_zip = New York, NY 10024;
params.firm = '';
params.urbanization = '';
params.casing = 'Proper';
var service:WebService;
this.service = ServiceLocator.getInstance().getWebService
(verifyUSPSAddress); //this is defined in another Services.mxml file
var strikeIronLicense:Object = {LicenseInfo:{RegisteredUser:
{UserID:[EMAIL PROTECTED],Password:gobears1}}};
var qName: QName = new QName(http://ws.strikeiron.com,LicenseInfo;);
var soapHeader:SOAPHeader = new SOAPHeader(qName,strikeIronLicense);
service.addHeader(soapHeader);
var call : Object =
service.VerifyAddressUSA.send
(params.addressLine1,params.addressLine2,params.city_state_zip,params.fi
rm,params.urbanization,params.casing);
call.addResponder( responder ); //handle the result
Here is the error message that I am getting in Flex:
[RPC Fault faultString=Cannot find definition for type 'http://
www.strikeiron.com::casingEnum' faultCode=EncodingError

Here is the response from StrikeIron:
We do not have a ‘consulting’ group on site, but I’ll continue to
look into it. The error would seem to indicate that the enumeration
for the casing[Proper, Upper, Lower] is not being handled correctly.
In most other languages where the WSDL is parsed dynamically at run-
time, using a string for this enum is perfectly fine. I’m not sure
if flex allows this. Is there perhaps a way to force an enumeration
from a string?
The WSDL also shows the casing enum as having a default value of
“Upper”. You should be able to leave this out completely as in other
languages.
Sorry I couldn’t exactly fix your problem. You might want to ask
around on some flex forums on how to handle enumerations. Let me
know if you get it to work.

RemoteObject is one of the three RPC protocols that a Flex client app can use to communicate with a server.

For creating multiples of the same component, consider using

you wanted to remove the children you created using addChild, it would
take some thought and some code, further complicated if there are static

validateclient can validate subtrees, but can still be expensive. in general, the height is determined by the parent (suppose you requested a % height).

Tabbing through the grid only traverses visible rows - how can a user navigate to scrolled-out rows using the keyboard? 2. Sorting the grid doesn't seem to sort the taborder - the rows are still traversed in the original order. (Strangely, reassigning a headerRenderer after the sorting sets the correct tab order - I found this by accident) 3. Tabbing into the grid from an outside control - looks like it remembers where the grid was last traversed and starts over from there. Is it possible to change it to always enter the grid from the first row? 4. I'm not sure of the behavior exactly, as I couldn't replicate it all the time, but tabbing into the grid after it has been mouse-scrolled seems to cause it to enter at different rows. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sounds like editable!=true, so the DG's tab handling code isn't running.

Hi, I'm a bit confused about the tab order in a datagrid. The problem is I have a datagrid with 3 columns: column 1 - renderer is a checkbox control. I use onchange of the checkbox to update the underlying data column 2 - normal text column, editor is a editbox column 3 - checkbox, similar to column 1 Using tab to traverse the datagrid has weird behavior, i.e. first it seems to traverse all the column 2 editboxes (top rows first then bottom rows); then it traverses the checkboxes in each row (starting from top row again); after it has traversed everything, the tab order seems random now - it jumps around from editbox to checkbox or whatever. Is it because of the way the actual renderer/editor instances are created? Is there something I should be specifying to guarantee a nice, left-to-right top-to-bottom tab order? Thanks, Roy

[flexcoders] Re: This has to be a bug right? If not, please explain...
Tracy, thanks for the feedback. The above was just an example of an
issue I ran into while trying to build a larger menu component.
I don't have much experience with the mx:Repeater control so
I will look into it more.
I originally tried to build the component using MXML and nested
containers, but one of the main issues I ran into was that all box
containers, and I think the repeater falls into this category too,
position their child elements based on the childIndex value. This is
undesirable in my case. For instance, if I have three buttons stacked
on top of each other vertically (think List control), I need button 1
to have a dropshadow on top of button 2.
I've been contemplating subclassing VBox to see if I can override the
positioning logic but I ran into the above issue and need to figure
out the best solution to get the height of a container after
dynamically adding children so I can reposition other UIComponents at
runtime based on the UIComponent's height.
Seems like I'm missing something simple here...

For creating multiples of the same component, consider using
mx:Repeater. It handles many ugly details for you. If, for example,
you wanted to remove the children you created using addChild, it would
take some thought and some code, further complicated if there are static
components in the container as well. With Repeater, just do:
myRepeater.dataProvider.removeAll();

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie compile issue rattling my brain
I have an idea, but not sure. When I pasted your code, I noticed end of line characters in some of your strings. For example: mx:Object case=1006 patient=Sandy Macdaddy arrival=2007/12/05 delivery=2007/12/20 / This should be mx:Object case=1006 patient=Sandy Macdaddy arrival=2007/12/05 delivery=2007/12/20 / I cleaned it, compiled it, and ran it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamically Changing Easing Function Again
Is there a more elegant way to tell Flex that it needs to link it in? I don't think so. If you're building a SWC, compc has an -include-classes configuration option, but if you're building a SWF, mxmlc doesn't have this option and I think you have to create a dependency in code. I haven't been able to find the most current debug player. If you download the SDK or Flex Builder it has the debug player. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amy Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 8:05 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamically Changing Easing Function Again --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , Gordon Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is aggravatingly difficult to do. You don't say what's going wrong, but I suspect that getDefinitionByName() is returning null when you pass it a string like mx.effects.easing.Cubic. That's because the Cubic class doesn't exist in your SWF... the MXML compiler has no way of knowing that your app needs it, so it doesn't link it in. One way to get it to be linked in is to declare a static var of that type. Note that simply importing it is NOT sufficient to link it in. I don't exactly know what is going wrong, because I haven't been able to find the most current debug player. Every link I can find that should lead to it goes to a regular player dated somewhere around June. It seems to me that if I am going to add extra lines declaring variables of all the easing types, I might as well hard-code switch case statements, as it is just as verbose and non-extensible.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: This has to be a bug right? If not, please explain...
The better approach is to use bindings so the target is updated whenever the source (height) changes, regardless of why it changed. Moving from AS2 to AS3 is sometimes harder than learning AS3 from scratch--don't think about how you did things before but learn how Flex does things. In general the more you leverage the framework and language the better off you and your apps will be. MXML and Bindings are good examples of this. HTH, Sam --- We're Hiring!

Unfortunately, 'case' is a reserved word in ActionScript (like 'class', 'var', 'function', 'if', 'for', 'switch', etc.) and you can't use reserved words as names of object properties.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: This has to be a bug right? If not, please explain...
When a UIComponent's size has been determined and its children have been arranged, it dispatches an updateComplete event. If you ask for its width and height in a handler for this event, or at any time later, they should be correct. If every addChild() caused a remeasurement and relayout of the parent, adding lots of children would be slow. The invalidation/revalidation mechanism used by the LayoutManager allows you to add any number of children quickly and then have the parent automatically, but asynchronously, do all the calculations required to update itself only once.

I was hoping to hear that Adobe was already pursuing this issue. It would

things that Adobe would have to put its weight behind, honestly.

I know this is a long-standing issue, but are there any developments in
the works to prevent this sort of behaviour? I know there are work-arounds
to Flash being able to obtain focus programmatically, such as using
ExternalInterface calls from Javascript to pass keyboard events. However,
stuff like that has always struck me as hacky.
In an ideal world, the Flash plugin would have the authority to demand
focus and receive programmatic focus across all browsers.

[flexcoders] Losing Focus in DataGrid
Hi,
I've got a dataGrid that I want to allow someone to set a value in a
'selectAll' column and that value will be passed to all the other
appropriate columns on that row upon the DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END.
I also have a custom keyDownHandler, to allow them to use the arrow
keys to navigate in the grid. The arrow keys navigate just fine (and
the focus is correct) for all the columns except for the 'selectAll'
column. When a value is typed in this column and the arrow keys are
used, the value is passed to the other columns properly, but the grid
is getting a CANCELLED edit event and the row is deselected. If I use
the TAB key to navigate from the 'selectAll' column, the other columns
are updated and the row stays selected. It seems like I'm missing a
call of some kind in my keyDownHandler, to allow it to function
properly. A sample of the code follows. If anyone can tell me what
I'm doing wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it.

John

[flexcoders] window depth
I want a window/component to always appear at the top of the Z order, including being on top of ALL tooltips and ALL popups. The only thing that I need to be 'above' the component is cursors. I've just found that the SystemManager has various layers and it would seem that tooltips are always above popups. Is there anyway of changing this. Cheers. Kenneth Sutherland
[flexcoders] Re: ListCollectionView dispatches too many CollectionEvents after enableAutoUpdate
Thanks for the response, Alex. I understand that for most use cases,
it would suffice to set a new source. However, I believe that
approach somewhat defeats the purpose of databinding. Suppose you're
bind to an ArrayCollection with 1000 items and you need to change
20? Should you clone the ArrayCollection, change the 20 items, and
then rebind? Should you update the existing ArrayCollection and have
the rest take care of itself? I prefer the latter - it's much
cleaner. However, I also don't want my bindings firing 20 times in a
row.
Was there a particular use-case in mind when it was decided that only
update events would be queued? It would help me better understand
enable/disableAutoUpdate to know.

IMHO, there's an upper limit where, instead of changing piecemeal,
you
should just set a new source, which should just send one big RESET
event.

Subject: [flexcoders] ListCollectionView dispatches too many
CollectionEvents after enableAutoUpdate
I am making some updates to an ArrayCollection. Since it's the
dataSource for a DataGrid, and I want the binding to update as few
times as possible, I am using ArrayCollection.disableAutoUpdate(),
making the changes, and then calling enableAutoUpdate() thinking
that
this will cause the binding to refresh only once for all the
changes. This would be the case if the ArrayCollection were
dispatching events of kind CollectionEventKind.UPDATE. Alas, since
I
am replacing the items in the ArrayCollection and not merely
updating
them, it is CollectionEventKind.REPLACE. As you can see from
handlePendingUpdates() in ListCollectionView, it only gangs the
updates into a single refresh if the event.kind ==
CollectionEventKind.UPDATE. All other CollectionEvents are fired
sequentially, which would seem to defeat the purpose of
disableAutoUpdate. Could someone clue me in on why this should be
the case? I'm tempted to monkey-patch around it, and submit a bug.
See the code below.
Thanks,
-tom

{
if (pendingUpdates)
{

// Could further optimize to consolidate various events
// and make a decision if there are too many updates

var singleUpdateEvent:CollectionEvent;
for (var i:int = 0; i pu.length; i++)
{
var event:CollectionEvent = pu[i];
// ** Here's the offending code
if (event.kind == CollectionEventKind.UPDATE)
{
if (!singleUpdateEvent)
{
singleUpdateEvent = event;
}

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamically Changing Easing Function Again
True, but it won't run. Can you please elaborate? What are you doing, and what happens when you do it? Are you on Windows or Macintosh? Are you using the browser player or the standalone player? Are you using FlexBuilder or the bare SDK? How are you trying to run? - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amy Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 12:25 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamically Changing Easing Function Again --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , Gordon Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a more elegant way to tell Flex that it needs to link it in? I don't think so. If you're building a SWC, compc has an -include-classes configuration option, but if you're building a SWF, mxmlc doesn't have this option and I think you have to create a dependency in code. I haven't been able to find the most current debug player. If you download the SDK or Flex Builder it has the debug player. True, but it won't run.
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Can we Pass image object instead of image file reference???
In Flex 3 (not currently in the beta), you can pass a bytearray to the Image as its source instead of a url.

I was going through Adobe's Sample Photo Viewer and in that the galleries.xml file provides the source to all the image files which are stored locally. So, was wondering if instead of using the local files can I read a byte stream and add it to my photo array collection. So, I guess what I am looking for is a way to read the byteStream and create the image file. Is it anyway possible in flex? - Tarun
[flexcoders] List itemRenderer based on VBox error when verticalGap
I'm using the latest Flex 3 Beta SDK and I've just created an itemRenderer based on a VBox which I'm using in a List. Everything is fine until you scroll down and then back up to the top, if you do this the first item height will have shrunk and it will never resize. I tried overriding the measure() method but that didn't fix it, but I did notice that if I removed the verticalGap on the VBox that fixed the issue. I'm not sure if this is a known issue or not (haven't tried with Flex 2), but I could do with a workaround for when a verticalGap is applied (without adding extra containers) if anyone has any thoughts. -D
